    It looks like Google is attempting to move towards simplicity. When you visit Google.com all that is visibile is the search box and the google logo.

    However, upon moving your mouse in the window the other options become available (eg: advertising programs, images, etc).

    Interesting update!

    I think Googles religion is the KISS factor.

    Keep It Simple Stupid:p

    Yes Google always tries to add some thing new to its home page. Day by day Google tries to go towards simplicity. It is an example for this. Looks very beautiful also. Thank you for the information.

    I don't see any change in its home page. Everything is old and the normal one.

    Yesterday, some google servers were displaying GOOGLE.COM as just the GOOGLE logo and search box (not even an enter button) and when you moved the mouse these other items were added.

    It was interesting. But today, again, it's back to normal fo rme.

    I can't seem to understand why Google does this. The only thing I can think off is to actually highlight the text on the homepage. Since everybody is so used to the homepage, I'm sure over 90% didn't even know there was an about, or shopping page etc. on it.

    It might work, and it's the only reason I can think of at the moment. ;)

    Any ideas?
