[LINK] Internet slow down irony

[Jan Whitaker]

Am reading a story in The Age today that is about the Warrnambool 
Victoria Telstra 3 week outage a few months ago, which is titled: 
What if the Internet Broke?
http://www.theage.com.au/national/what-if-the-internet-broke-20130327-2gud9.html
While reading, I noticed the page hasn't fully loaded -- waiting on 
googleapis maps to complete, which is presumably due to the DDoS 
attack going on (?). And what's really weird is there is no obvious 
place on the page that requires the maps.googleapis function.

The article has an interesting laundry list of the effects of 
extended network outages and the reliance we all have on modern 
communication systems... things like banks.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
