Google is MESSED UP

January 31, 2009 10:19:22 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Hey, it's me again.

So, has anyone else noticed that google is MESSED UP. (I'm going to capitalize MESSED UP for the entire post. FOR DRAMA). I started Mozilla up today, and did a google search. And google proceeded to tell me that every single one of the links that it pulled for my search are dangerous and can damage my computer. Then it told me when i did a google search for google, that Google itself was dangerous, and will harm my computer. So i went to Yahoo, and it works fine, and  I used Norton Safe Web to check google, and it tells me it's fine. Is it just me? Or my Computer? OR is skynet finally taking over and google is the only one to realize this?

Reply swiftly, before the MACHINES DO!

For a second there, it seemed like you had the dreaded Google  'copy book virus', where every search redirects you, and every Google link is a shortcut to the same place, what a bastard of a virus that was  to get rid of!

It's not happening to me.  I'm using Opera as a browser.  I don't know if that would make a difference....or maybe it's just that I'm not on Google's hate list?

And by the way....I'm about 10 miles South of Lantec...so it isn't area-specific.

Works ok here.

Seems if Google goes down, it's definitely the end of the world as we know it.

It happens.   I'd rather have a disclaimer then they constantly be blocking everything.   Like, I don't want to go to dangerous sites on google, but other related fields I feel that way about.

The thing I feel like google F***ed on is the fact that apparently youtube is region locked now?    It makes me so angry I want to fly to their headquarters driven by pure rage and punch somebody (I'm not usually violent).   I LOVE google, they stood for everything that is worldy and out-reaching to me.   The world was a better and more together place thanks to them and their ability to translate websites for me and search the world wide web without (or so I thought) bias.   But now!   now they won't let me watch videos that 'arn't available in my region'!?   What BS is that?    I'd rather they just not let me know it exists!!! than show it to me and then tell me I'm censored!

Google is not nearly as messed up as the global network it's part of, and you all know it.
