I went to Google Maps, and there's this male voice with a British Accent telling me about various features of the service. No indicator anywhere on the page of where it's coming from, no visual "player" or anything... just a disembodied voiceover.

Never has someone been more upset that his computer has a delayed shutoff when pressing the power button.

Was this man on a chessboard? Maybe you should ask Alice :)
