like Google Analytics and YouTube. And when one of them hangs, the whole page hangs.

It's fixed now.

Actually, I didn't use to blame the google as they first started going EVIL. It's the rules of the business game in America. The laws that encode the game are written by the most cheaply bribed professional politicians working for the tiny minority of greediest and least ethical businessmen. Of course all large American companies are driven to EVIL just to survive.

Then I found out that the google has become the top lobbyist among high-tech companies. Yes, Gertrude, the google is to blame for their own EVIL.
