Those aren't minimal.

This is minimal:

Try Vimperator (http://vimperator.org/trac/wiki/Vimperator).

My Firefox is only a tab bar and a status bar/vimperator command line (I used Hide Chrome to get rid of the top window bar). It won't make websites more minimal, but it will make your browser much less obtrusive.

You would make Stanley Kubrick proud.

Honestly, I don't get what makes those minimal. Tumblelogs could be called minimal, or the original Google search page. If those are minimal, you can argue that all websites have only the necessary things on them and are thus minimal. I'm sure you could even try to make that point for, say, Yahoo! or some other portal ;)

I guess they didn't think enough about the difference between graphic design an web design.

Vanity pages are fun.
