Somebody at Google labs likes OS X, as you can see from the tagline in the
image, ‘Roses are red. Violets are blue. OS X rocks. Homage to you.’
Visit Google X and have fun with the Dock like magnification of the
icons above the search box, and here is the back
story.
UPDATE: Looks like Google X is down at the moment. No word if it is just experiencing problems or if Apple let loose the legal hounds (though I doubt they did).
To find out what version of Mac OS you are running, go to the Apple logo in the top left corner, click it and choose About This Mac. From that window you will see the version number, processor, memory and chosen startup disk. Clicking Software Update will check for updates, and More Info... will open up an extensive list of everything on your machine.

Cool! But if they really want it to be like the Dock, shouldn't it intermittently freeze every so often for a few seconds? ;-b

It's certainly cool - I can't decide if I should default to this page for googling, or continue to use the very useful Google suggest:
