Ask HN: Is anybody getting a new Google search results page?

I just noticed that I'm getting a completely new search results page. Are other people seeing this too?

There is a voice search option (that is much more prominent - never noticed it before) and the page looks a little bit cleaner to me.

    Still have the old one here. Screenshot for comparison: http://imgur.com/r9SSm

    New version has less colorful icons, dividing lines traded for whitespace, some colored backgrounds, and a smaller Google logo.

    A really strange change you might not have noticed: you searched for hacker news and got "About 94,200,000 results". I did the same thing and got "About 20,300,000 results". What's up with that?

    It gets weirder. I'm not signed into my Google account. If I sign in, then I get "About 20,200,000 results". Sign back out, and it's 20,300,000 again.
