Google Spell goes down and no one notices
Read the article carefully. This was a non-Google plug-in using a private Google API that was then shutdown when Google stopped using it. This impacted users of the plug-in. This has nothing to do with Google, really.

What I took from the article is that it was a bad idea for the API client to let errors pass over in silence.

They used a hacky method from the old IE Toolbar. That's like me scraping a website and blaming them when they change it.

Well, there is silence at one level, and the next level reports a success (lack of spelling error).
