Google Thimbled

Recommended Posts

Hi all

Edit Sorry and Thanks moddies for fixing my expletive title

Just tested with this search

"Power to weight ratio of batteries per year"

All searches are coming up with the malware warning.

This site may harm your computer.

Either that or every website in the world has been hacked

Just checked with Dinger to verify.

All searches are coming up with the malware warning.

Google must be seriously FUBAR

Yep, Google service is FUBAR. Search results are all blocked and even new mails on Google Mail all get thrown into spam.

I'm hoping they're just experiencing some problems.

Worst case scenario: they've been hacked somehow.  sad_o.gif

Someone's gone ahead and typed "Google" into Google - the myth spread by Jen from UK sitcom, "The IT Crowd" which promised to crash the monolithic search engine...

I'm actually laughing right now... I even have the Altavista link for bablefish translations in the FF hotlink bar, but I didn't even think about that... rofl.gif

Is Altavista still alive? I used it alot back in -99 while at college. I was much more pleased to search results it gave me compared to Google.

I believe it was -02 when i found internet again when i went back to school. At that point of time Google seemed to be far superiour.
