Or is it just my end? The top half of the images don't load for me.

working fine here..
 
it acts a little weirdly at times. i think it has crashed firefox a time or two.

in any case, they're actually copying Bing here. and i think Bing's implementation might be a little better.
 
This is what I get:

It's the same for every image. And there isn't any rollover; when I put my pointer on an image, there is no enlarged preview.

I searched for the same thing.. (map) and it does work, though as proton said it does crash sometimes,
 
Okay, I'm getting naughty stuff now. Looks like I've got some work to do on this rig. *sigh*
 
personally i don't like it, got to put your mouse pointer off to the side or you got images popping up.
