This is so cool, it shows you're a real developer's developer, if you get what I mean!

One thing that confused me a little at first, UI wise, is the scroll bars on the page Web Results and Image Results panels. I was just scanning pages and thought the page was hanging for some reason while using my mouse wheel.

Thank you! I can honestly say that comment put a smile on my face. As far as the scroll bars go, I just didn't want to take up too much screen real estate for those individual sections. (So that people who want to spend time with them can, but those who don't can skip over them a bit quicker.) Do you think there's a better way to handle that? I'm very open to suggestions for just about anything!
Sorry this is a little bit delayed! It's hard to see when you get replies here :)

My feeling is to either make liberal use of "Click to expand" or to just let users scroll the whole page vertically. I think we've become used to long, vertical content elements.
