Just a new layout all around. I'm not completely impressed with it, I actually find Google Images is slow as fuck now, but I do think the layout is an improvement. It is a start towards something better, give them time.

Everybody bitched about the changes that took place at Youtube a while ago when they started, and I said wait. Look at Youtube now, i think it's the best it's ever been with some great improvements in usability.

I'm pretty sure Google owning Youtube IS the only reason you're seeing them rank on so many terms now. I have a feeling Google is just upping the exposure to their video outlet. This is a new age for media, and video is king, so when people search, why not go straight for a video on the subject? They've already been beefing up Youtube, so why not feed the traffic into it? It may still have some flaws, like with these adult terms, but if it's new it probably just needs tweaking.
