jQuery JSON AJAX request fails

$(document).ready(function() {
    $.ajax({
        type: 'GET',
        url: "http://www.google.com/ig/calculator?hl=en&q=1GBP=?USD",
        dataType: "json"
    }).done(function() {
        alert("success");
    }).fail(function() {
        alert('fail');
    });
});​

I'm new to this so please can someone tell me why does this fail? In firebug I am getting '200 OK' for the request.

You can't make an ajax request to www.google.com unless the script from which the ajax request originates is loaded from www.google.com. It's called the Same Origin Policy. Browsers won't do it.
