you are probably logged in and it's giving you custom results.

Dogpile is #2 for me.

On bing #1 result is Dogpile

On Yahoo #1 result is Yahoo

On Dogpile, #1 result is Dogpile

On Ask, #1 result is Ask

On Altavista, #1 result is Yahoo

It's not a result of being logged in. I was logged in, and signed out, and dogpile was still above altavista when I refreshed the page. However, when I cleared my cookies, Altavista and dogpile switched places.

Most likely due to this : http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=977461

Who knows why Google calculated that my behavior indicates I'd be more interested in dogpile...

I'm not logged in and I'm also getting Dogpile as #1 result. I hate that when google alters my results according to my country/login.

Out of curiosity, why does this bother you?

What guarantees that the results are better for you?

I feel I can trust the "results for everybody" better as are likely more thoroughly verified.

It bothers me to get different search result every time I'm on another computer. It's like surfing another internet..

It is presumptuous, and sets a possibly dangerous precedent.
