googlemaps adds message: "loading slowly? try useless basic html googlemaps"

Well not exactly. It really reads "loading slowly? try basic html"

Translation: our Web 2.0 "upgrade" code is so bad we had to add a reversion to really basic crap.

It is pretty impressive that they can detect code that isn't working on a remote computer though.

It never ceases to amaze me how great technology companies like AltaVista, Amazon or Google can take a fabulous basic product and enhance it into non-usability for no coherent reason.
