Post subject:  Google broke down?
Posted this on different sites, I'm very curious about it.

Whenever I use google for searching today, I get a warning message when I click on a search result (being it text or image):

Warning! Visiting this site might harm your computer!

First they give me the suggestion to go back and select a different search result, but that doesn't work, as they will all give me the same message. Also using a differentquery doesn't work.

After that they give me some blabla on how to solve this (none of the links they give me work, however).

All other search engines work fine.

Anyone else experience this?

Nevermind, it was only temporary. Everything works fine again.

Skynet! It's happening! Run, everybody, RUN!!! Take to the mountains where we can fight the machines!

Oh, it's fixed. Nevermind. :D

This Thursday another curious thing happened to one of my colleagues at work.
He entered google.com into his browser and got a site with a very weird Google logo.

While I know that they used to change their logo for certain events, but this logo looked nothing but strange - it was almost unreadable.
Then I entered the same URL into my browser and I saw the plain old red-yellow-blue-green Google logo like nothing ever happened.
I cleared my browser cache and so did my colleague, but still different logos appeared for both of us. Very strange thing. :roll:

It only lasted for 40 minutes. I think it's quite a small chance to have seen it happen. Only real internet geeks would have... Eeehm, did I say that out loud?

I noticed it, it happened just as I was showing a mate how sweet my Windows 7 machine was running. Now we all appreciate it had fuck all to do with my machine, probably, but this stupid knob now keeps informing everyone how shit my machine is.

What a total cabbage.

Oh yeah, fuck Google too for making me look like a wheelchair.

You flange. Do not run, stand your ground and fight. We routinely get the T-series appearing here, a swift head butt generally works. Failing that we call in the pensioners, they are 'expendable' mobile incendiary devices.

Now that always works. Also immensely amusing.
