Your URL needs a slight tweak to trigger JSONP, add &callback=? on the end, like this:

$.getJSON('http://ajax.googleapis./ajax/services/search/images?v=1.0&q=hello&callback=?', function(data) {
  console.log(data);
});

You can see it working here, take a look at the console.

If jQuery sees a callback=? in the url, it replaces it with a function name it generates (which is your function(data) callback), and that's what gets run when the JSONP request es back. See the $.getJSON() documentation for the same info.

Without this it's trying to do an XmlHttpRequest, and being blocked by the same-origin policy, since it's on another domain.
