Offtopic but how do you get that top bar? I just have the standard dark skinny bar.

Actually I miss the standard dark skinny bar, now it takes one click more to go to my email.
I got mine when I switched Gmail to the new look and started using Google+ but maybe it was just a coincidence.

#44My fellow Canadians and I should also be seeing this. We inevitably get Canadian-ized versions of all these American bills shoved down our throats, after they pass in the US, especially with the current government in power.

Google decided it would be more beneficial (to tyhem, or to the cause) by just raising awareness and still providing the useful information the user wants. Blackout -> User sees it once and goes to SearchEngineX, forgetting all about it. Google's Way -> Raise awareness each time the user sees it as they won't go to a different Search Engine. A full blackout works for wikipedia, because people probably don't know abou…
Even Wikipedia's blackout is not full, and quite easy to go around if you know magic tricks like disabling JavaScript or CSS in the browser. While commercial damage is likely a very important consideration to Google, another reason might be that shutting down Google completely would most likely result in damage to human health and/or loss of lives.
While that may be true, I was thinking it was more due to their obligation to their shareholders.
