Google X replaces the text-link categories above the search bar on the company's standard homepage with icons that magnify and display their name when moused over like application icons do in OS X' Dock.

Every time I refresh a couple of times another one downloads, maybe it's a sneaky way for google to increase page impressions ;-)
I don't really like the look of this anyways, but I'm sure it's part of the future google as they are getting bigger and bigger.
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Just kidding. I don't know why it's gone, but I hope it comes back.
Probably didn't get permission from Apple to duplicate their look and feel...
Well if this is the deal here, this i just gay.
Side note: If this link gets removed, sticky me and I can pass it on.

They want to see how people react to it, do people like or not, they even announced GoogleX and then removed it, you know it's additional raise of fuss over nothing. So if you havent seen it, you'll read about it and etc...
It's amazing how good their strategy is, and making sure they dont make any mistakes.
I think the pics would be a very, very bad idea. Pictorial navigation is always a bad idea as people can't always traslate pictures to the correct words. Yeah, yeah, you can scroll over the pics to read the words, but one more step for users means they take one more step towards going somewhere else.
Somtimes a word is worth a thousand pictures.

Which is something far too often not understood on the web.
