Today a "menu bar" appeared on the Google front page.

I use Google constantly, but I hadn't bothered until today to even look at the front page, as I use it exclusively via a Firefox keyword. As such, they can put anything they want onto the front page. I'll never see it until someone tells me to go look at it.

That said, it seems to me moving those links to a different location on the page is merely to match it up with the rest of their services. Unsurprisingly, Gmail, Google Calendar, etc. all have them tucked away up top, out of the way and unobtrusive.
