Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Just a guess, but maybe the redirection is there but it uses AJAX, and
no remotely sane web browser (ie., mothra, charon, abaco) supports
AJAX.

Google - sending the software world back to the stone age.

My 2Ghz 1Gb RAM workstation struggles to allow me to read email with
gmail...  amazing how far backwards we can go!

After listening to rob's presentation about fault tolerance it is
depressing to see how often gmail is down.  But one must concede that
for a company that writes their code in Java, C++ and Python it is a
surprising miracle that the site loads at all.
