quote [ Looks like we are having a Google outage - apparently someone has hijacked their Domain, and something called SoGoSearch is showing up instead. GMail was down as well. Google ads are not being served up as well. Am I the only one, or did you guys feel the webquake as well? Man if this is a hack, then we now know nothing - not even god, I mean Google is safe! ]
the end is near! the end is near! repent for ye pr0n!!!

I won't downmod, but a DNS glitch at Google just doesn't stir my passions the way it used to. |

If it really was a DNS glitch. If they really had had their DNS hacked, then I doubt the first announcement they made about it would be "yes, we were hacked". I imagine they'd come out with a vague story that doesn't incite interest first, then maybe later give the real story, once their PR people have worked out the careful wording properly. |

are you sure? It's plausable* that in the absence of a resolving www.google.com, the browser would go to www.google.com.net instead (presumably after trying www.google.com.com, which (IIRC) isn't allowed to be registered). *but I can't be arsed testing it. |
