Am I the only one who doesn't worship at the feet of the all mighty Oracle?

I gave up noticing changes on google years ago when they went through a particularly dense spate of "Google" image mods for everything from International Talk-Like-a-Pirate-Day to World AIDS Day (my Birthday! - probably explains the bitterness)....

It's a bit weird to make big headlines out of every changed pixel on the Google HP. Then again, these changes might be worth billions...

Hmmm... would have expected a discussion about the motivations for such a change, as I see it this is just cult worship (coupled with groupthink down-modding for even voicing an alternative opinion).... I expect more from this community (cue baseless down-modding)

There were some blog posts by Google explaining the results of some of their changes. For example apparently they don't even deliver valid HTML to speed up loading time, as that has been shown to retain more users.
