At least they are parsing it as JSON, it is just that they are using 'eval' to parse it, which allows a slightly different syntax. This is highlighted by the fact that the latitude gadget no-longer works in Firefox 3.5 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498691) as 3.5 has a native JSON interface.
