    But even before she died, it wouldn't have been like your sister to insult you or hurt your feelings ;)

    http://lifehacker.com/5356406/google-supersizes-its-search-box
    Google's actual web-based search home page isn't a primary interface for most experienced web browsers these days, and its dimensions were definitely set before high-resolution, wide-screen monitors came along. So Google bumped up its size, making the search box bigger and the font sizes larger for text input and search suggestions. Small, but definitely helpful change.

    /thread.

    Now, let's try it again Dougal:

    these are small, but those are far away.

    Small...far away.

    Small...far away.

    Is it me or has Turd Ferguson changed his font size? It seems bigger, yet everything else seems the same. i've noticed it on 2 monitors too.....hmmm, seems a bit odd

    I a have theory why but it may not be suitable but here goes.

    The most popular search results on google is usually dirty stuff. too much getting off to dirty stuff is rumoured to make you go blind.

    So perhaps google decided to combat this by making the font bigger?
