Google Image Ripper: we don't need no stinkin' thumbnails

Google Image Ripper is a nifty little Google hack that lets you search for Google Images without surfing through an endless sea of thumbnails.

All you have to do is enter a search term, an image size (icon, small, medium, large, xlarge, or xxlarge), and hit the rip button. The program searches for images that meet your specifications, and loads all the images onto one screen.

Of course, if you're looking for Creative Commons photos that you can reuse, you're still better off searching Flickr. But if you just need to see a ton of pictures of Angelina Jolie or Jeff Raikes, this might be the tool for you.
