Nothing happens at that page for me. Could the reason be that I'm redirected to google.se (which does not have this feature, yet)?
Interesting side effect. There's this web site: http://www.online-stopwatch.com/timer/1hour/ which comes up top of the google search results for "timer for 1 hour" for me. Now there is absolutely no way they can compete with Google's own offering from an SEO perspective. While this example is trivial to some extent, does it set a precedent that while you can advertise and compete with Google, they can always have the…

I hope they haven't forgotten that the reason Yahoo lose out to Google was precisely because of this. Yahoo switched their vision from a search engine to a portal, and their product search engine start to suck.
This is dangerous. The best ad platform (which generates the most revenue) are those that are most efficient at sending traffic to advertiser's properties. Facebook main source of revenue comes from mobile app install ads which direct users to the app store for download, and page post ads, which sends traffic to advertiser's website.
A change in priority to hold users as long as possible on Google search isn't very tenable in the long term.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
My alarm clock 15 years ago was: $ sleep 28800; while :; do cat /etc/termcap; done > /dev/audio These days /etc/termcap is disappearing from UNIX machines, but back then it was always available. I found it had just the right amount of structure to make a really annoying noise.
My occasional alarm clock is: $ sleep 8h; mpg123 /pandemonic_hyperblast.mp3 There is no way to fail to wake up with this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5Den-CQ6jk .
But now my stereo and my CDs gather dust and I (and my neighbours) do not miss them.
Google probably review their top searches periodically to determine utility related keywords and custom fit solutions to them. It seems that if they continue to do things this way, sooner or later, Google is likely to replace thousands of utility websites. This seems like a change in their philosophy from sending users to other websites in as little time as possible, to using Google as a portal. Interestingly, this c…

Yahoo filled their front-page with items that wouldn't be relevant except for some tiny percentage of the time, such that even if the front page had what you were looking for, it was like a needle in a haystack. Google's approach here is only revealing the portal functionality in response to a specific request for it. It won't kill them, and may even be a competitive advantage for them over any competitor search engine that has superior ranking algorithms.

It showed for me in Chrome, but not in Firefox. The same with Google's new flat icon/grid services homepage, actually.
