I agree. It just seems very odd that the author of the article didn't mention Bing at all.

Am I the only person that find data like website URL and dimensions of the photo as important as the picture itself and thus having to wait on the crappy hover for a second to see those details find that this less useful?

The infinite scroll mode that Bing offered is exactly why I had been using it as the default. You know how the saying goes: "If it ain't broke or there ain't no competition, don't fix it".

Finally infinite scroll, well this will eat more bandwith.
Google images search is more accurate due to google image labeler game ;-)

I like this new format. It allows me to browse more pictures faster. If I like a picture than I can hover over it to find out if it will fit my needs...or do a similar image search to find more like it.

Either way, once you get used to it, it definitely is quicker! It may be like it's copying Bing, but a good idea is a good idea...so there.

So, this update makes Google Image Search results look more like Bing?

Google didn't change the results page because there wasn't any reason to until they realized Bing isn't going away.
