    Haha, I was actually wondering about this. I assumed it was just a video that started playing in the background, but I wasn't able to find it. Nice to know what it actually was.

    Wow, this is more annoying than when a blocked popup in chrome still fully loads and starts playing a video.

    What's with Google this past year or so? This is just the latest in a series of poorly executed, or just plain dumbass, rollouts. Is there no adult supervision at the googleplex?
