Google HQ conversation:

Sergey: :( Noone really stays logged in to their Google accounts when surfing, so we're missing out on in-depth tracking of millions of searches.

Larry: Hmm. What if we give people an incentive to log in? Like say, presenting some weird background image that they can only change by staying logged in?

Sergey: Cool plan! Let's get onto it...

You have always been able to modify Google - how many search results per page, etc., Backgrounds is just another variation. There is no need to log in to change it - it'll probably be business as usual tomorrow.

It's more a ploy to get people to sign up for Google accounts - loads of kids for example will love this - than to change Google's usual white homepage indefinitely.
 
looks like they've reverted back to goof old #FFFFFF... before 24hrs.

Though from reading the google forums they've had an absolute slating today.
