Google News Changes

Gary Price points out that some changes are going on at the Google News search. Search engines like to experiment by giving one out of say a thousand queries the experimental interface or results and then gauging their reactions. That makes it hard for the rest of us to see the details of the experiment unless someone grabs a quick screen shot. Just earlier this week on Yahoo! I noticed that the "Web Pages" link was not highlighted unless you clicked on other of the other links first. And the Powered by Google had moved way down to the bottom. Was this the beginning of a change to another search engine or an attempt to lessen the amount they pay to Google? Or what it just Yahoo! experimenting with some different approach. Time may or may not tell.
