New Minimalist Google homepage

Google is supposedly carrying out experiment for its homepage showing only logo and search box. There will be no links appearing on top and bottom of the page until you move your mouse over the page.

To try out this experiment visit google.com and type the following into the address bar (Mind you it should not be your local google site viz google.co.in, etc)

javascript:void(document.cookie="PREF=ID=abac7a90f5a3784b:LD=en:NR=10:TM=1254990196:LM=1254990236:S=uB6F4jDnMP_DuxtT;path=/; domain=.google.com");

After typing the above into the address bar hit return and reload the page.

Following would be the minimalist look and feel of your google.com

On mouse over the page following will be the normal look and feel of google.com
