No JavaScript, No Google Navigation

Somehow this strikes me as a bad idea, but I honestly haven't
thought through how it could be used for malicious purposes yet...

Via Google Operating System.

If you disable JavaScript in your browser, you'll notice that the recently
updated Google.com doesn't have too many navigational links anymore. That's
because the menu from the top left corner is written entirely in
JavaScript.

Google, that usually writes pages with graceful degradation in mind and
builds custom interfaces that don't require JavaScript (Google Maps,
Gmail), forgot about the browsers that don't support JavaScript (text
browsers, some mobile browsers) and the users that have JavaScript turned
off for its biggest assets: the homepage and the search results pages.
