Okay, so Google has made quite a radical change to it's iconic startpage interface. Go to google.com (it has to be the english version) and type in the following in the url field:
javascript:void(document.cookie="PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com");
Hit enter, then visit google.com again. You see it? It kind of looks like Google Wave if you've had the chance to try it out.
I'm sure Google has lots and lots of talented designers in their team, but to limit their talent and experience to this - and this is probably the most radical redesign they've done in half a decade - is such a waste. It actually looks like an early mockup for a web site. Exactly like Google Wave does. I hope this doesn't influence the industry and it's designers that much.
I'm sorry Google, you do not have my approval.
