Actually after you go to https://www.google.com/search?q=<blink> you can type anything else into the search bar and since the css rule is still there, it'll blink the search term in the results
People will probably still be using mice for input. It won't be all swiping by 2014. The nice thing about a mouse is that it requires very little effort. It takes a lot more muscle movement to perform a swipe.
I think he means that lot of the new website designs change the scroll behavior because they think it's cool (just like <blink> was), but they make the user experience worse in most cases.
"Eeh...back in my day, it were blink and marquee tags as far as the eye could see. We were doing web development for below minimum wage back then you see, and every hour, our cruel overlords would drag us out of the basements in which we worked and beat us. CSS?! HTML Tables it was in MY day lad!! Didn't 'ave none of this fancy styling business. We were at the HTML coal face then, yer see! Don't know yer born you young 'uns...."
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Marquee tags on fire off the shoulder of Geocities. I watched blink tags glitter in the dark near Tannhäuser.com. All those websites will be lost in time, like tears in rain...
Explanation: A protestor at yesterday's Google I/O keynote shouted “you're all working for a totalitarian company that builds robots that kill people.”
No it doesn't.
It is only returning that because you have the q=%3Cblink%3C in your url followed by #q=%3Cflash%3C. ( so basically it is loading the blink page and querying for the flash keyword).
Makes you wonder how much energy is used, and how much carbon is produced, by every frontend server for Google Web Search in every Google datacenter needing to (at the very least) do an extra string comparison for every search done.

I can't tell from the pixels and the CSS. Required reading: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213625
I wasn't really expecting an easter egg, but was surprised to not find a single result about html. Does it strip any non alphabetic character?
Unfortunate side effect of their incremental search system :P
