// The reason I had to do this? The Google Maps v3 API prevents default touchmove event behavior on the body element.
// For this, it uses an anonymous function and does not offer an API to disable this.
// So... I forced it to.

// WAY HACKY. Easily the most hacky thing I've ever done. Cool as hell though.

// Store reference to original method. We'll need this later
Event.prototype._preventDefault = Event.prototype.preventDefault;

// Overtake preventDefault!!
Event.prototype.preventDefault = function () {
	
	// So what we want to do is stop the preventDefault method from firing if:
	// 	- Event type is touchmove AND
	// 	- A .pane or #post-overlay is active.
	// If both are false, the original _preventDefault method is applied
	// Otherwise, _preventDefault does not get applied. Victory!
	if (!$(".pane.active, #post-overlay[class]").get(0) && this.type !== "touchmove") {
		
		// Apply the preventDefault method as normal
		Event.prototype._preventDefault.apply(this, [].slice.call(arguments));
		
	}
