The version, aligned correctly, is http://www.google.com/mac.html.

Shh… If you want to see some hidden Google URL’s, just head over to http://www.google.com/robots.txt. Have fun!. These are the URL’s that Google asks other search engines not to index.

It’s not just a branded page, it actually offers different search results:

http://www.google.com/mac?q=dunstan

http://www.google.com/search?q=dunstan

Personally I prefer the mac version’s results.

Yep, that page has been around for years. It was the Mac branded version of Google’s homepage and used to be the default link to Google from Safari.
