I love simple things. I mean simple functionality and simple visually. Google does some things really right. And other things are not at all as simple as they could be. Sometimes their engineers dominate when their design team should have more influence. (Gmail and AdWords interfaces are both good example of this.) But when Google decided to update its home page, including a version with literally nothing but its logo and a search box, it really worked out well, in my opinion. If I'm going to use Google, I'm going there to do a search. If I want access to my Google Docs or Google Maps or GMail, I'll go directly to docs.google.com or maps.google.com or mail.google.com. One the main google.com page, just give me the search box, man! BTW, if you're not seeing this, just refresh your page and this should be the view, at least for a moment.
