It's 100 kB now.

If the plot had a similar curve from 0-50kB would everyone still be commenting? What about 0-5 kB?

Is this about the absolute values or the curve?

Unless everyone is expecting exponential page size growth to continue indefinitely (and ignoring bandwidth increases), I don't see the point.

1-5 kB would be even more interesting. That would make Google's flagship page several orders of magnitude smaller than most websites.

"However, Apple's surprise announcement left Google with no recourse but to heap complaints upon Apple's new Maps while having nothing to offer as an alternative apart from its own limited web app. "

Wait... So Apple's Maps is actually wonderful, and all complaints are actually by Google? It's not since the new Maps app provides a subpar experience to the old Google-powered Maps app?
