Regretfully allot of these don’t work anymore as Google changed the search page to automatically start searching, thus you don’t have access to the I’m Feeling Lucky button….
Hi Jsg, I have checked all of these tricks personally and they all work pretty well. Anyways, you can always turn off the instant search feature of Google by visiting this link http://www.google.com/preferences. 🙂

actually, if you hover your mouse at the right side of the additional search queries below the textbox you can still see and click the im felling lucky button….
“hahaha I know, Google Gravity might seem a bit gay for guys I think. But for girls it might be fun to play with. 😀
By the way, just wanna ask do you think Google gravity is a good example of web 3.0 ? Like in the future, our websites will be highly interactive like this, and instead of having a bunch of links, we will have images or blocks that represent those links. What do you think ?
And thanks for the tips of fixing the video width…I have no idea about these technical stuff..
