Works for me too. I'm not sure it's even possible for Google to go down. Their servers are all over the world, and I'm not sure they have a single point of failure anywhere.

Now it's working... but I swear, it was down! I tried it on 3 comps, and so did one of my friends. And he's in the UK!

Yeah, well, it WAS a bit sluggish when I tried it. Maybe it was doing a fail-over.

Darwin,
Sorry you missed the meeting. Google has indeed kicked you out. You were not a user anymore. You became an abuser. Sorry.

There servers are not all over the world, and it's very possible for them to go down. There are several single points of failure which would take them down.

Well it looks like they altered their image search, maybe that has something to do with it.

I thought it was interisting that in a Wired article they mentioned how any search thats not offensive is put up on a screen in the lobby of one of their offices and they show on a map where the most search activity is coming from.
It'd be fun to sit and watch that for awhile, but as the guy writing it commented it can be kinda depressing too.
The way Google works is verry verry interisting, atleast to me.
