I’m sure google didn’t use to do this, but now if I enter http://www.google.com in my address bar it now goes to google.co.uk instead. I know you can do this by detecting the language used by the browser but I’m sure they didn’t used to do it. Annoying as I wanted to get some prices in america and the searches are mainly coming back with UK stores because of coming from .co.uk!
