Is this new, or have I just not noticed it before? On the second and subsequent results page of a google search, the "next" link is pre-selected – so hitting enter takes you to the next page. Using Page-down and Enter should let you shoot through results using the keyboard.

It's not like that for me (OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard 10a421; Safari 4)

But seriously, I can't remember the last time I went to page 2 on Google... weird.

I see it to in Firefox, but I think I saw it before. Like James, I don't go to page 2 a lot.
