right now, go to google.com! its down!
im serious!
EDIT: nvm, tis back up

it is punished for their privacy-breaking web accelerator.

google should just stick with their search bot, all the other privacy violating crap is really annoying.

lol yea man goog is my homepage but it be down so wut am i gonna do? cant find any good stuff no more

whats a web accelerator

google's web accelerator is supposed to speed up loading webpages for broadband users. It works sorta like an advanced proxy server, caching sites on their servers, only downloading the updates, and then redirecting it to the user.

Yet it has some serious flaws:
If you're using it and for example you're browsing this forum, and log in. Google cached this page and when somebody requests www.soldatforums.com that person will be logged in as you..

then to know google reads your mail, buh well i know enough. Only use their search engine and stay off the other crap.

they should forget about osama and go after the guy who did this!
EDIT: never mind, its back up.

For the last time, Google (Gmail) goes not read your mail. There's not some sad loser sitting there reading everybody's e-mails; it uses a Bot which picks out particular words in your e-mails and uses them to display ads (relevant to your e-mail) on the page. So, when you read your gay-website-porno e-mails, Denacke, you get ads for homosexual related stuff.

Web accelerator has saved me 4.1 minutes ^^

Google Knocked Offline Saturday, But Not A Hack - [Internet]

Google was off-line for a short time Saturday evening due to an undisclosed DNS problem.

The search service was unavailable from 6:45 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. EDT, Saturday, May 7, Google acknowledged. Some users were unable to reach google.com for longer periods as individual DNS servers took different amounts of time to update once Google fixed its end.

"Google's global properties were unavailable for a short period of time," Google spokesman David Krane told the Associated Press and various Google-specific bloggers, on Saturday. "We've remedied the problem and access to Google has been restored."

Krane denied that the problem was caused by a hack or other attack, and only said it was related to the DNS, or Domain Name System. Some security firms have recently warned of DNS cache poisoning attacks as a way for phishers to make their identity thievery less detectable.

Talk of a hack was fueled by users who reported being diverted to SoGoSearch.com during the Google outage. Additional investigation, however, found that that site had registered the domain com.net, and when some browsers were unable to resolve google.com, they tried google.com.net.

Other Google services, such as Gmail, were also offline for a time on Saturday.

The Google snafu came just days after the company debuted an acceleration tool that speeds up searches and Web page requests. Now, however, Google has closed down the beta of Web Accelerator. On the site where users could download the utility last week, Google now states: "Thank you for your interest in Google Web Accelerator. We have currently reached our maximum capacity of users and are actively working to increase the number of users we can support."
