Google X
Google's latest: Google X says, "Roses are red. Violets are blue. OS X rocks. Homage to you."
As always, well-executed and elegant interaction. A pretty good way to put more properties on the bar above the search box.
Although this seems to be more of a joke than a serious concept for next-gen Google, I think with just a few tweaks it could be a viable interface.
The icons could indicate state like OS X does, and like the current Google home page does. In Google's case, unlike OS X, they could theoretically leave the active icon in the large state to indicate status, unlike the somewhat obtrusive arrow in the OS X taskbar.
All in all, bravo Google.
Update (March 18): Google X is gone.
