this happened to microsoft once and the guy gave it back to them...he had it for about 3 hours because they let their domain expire.
How would you like to point Big G's domain at a site with PayPopUp ads on it? There ad base would be gone in an hour.
lol, At my end google was not opening, and nor gmail, orkut etc.. I just changed my DNS IP address in my connection properties and now its working fine....So its not a problem at all with Google... Its a problem with ur ISP's DNS server.. The IP i was using was 61.1.96.69 and 61.1.69.71 now changed to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 Hope this helps to those having problems.
pack a page with all of your favorite ads and have google pointed at that page for just ONE minute, how much money do you think you'd make?
the problem surfaced with me few hrs back...i restarted my system and the modem.. restarting the modem changes the IP address and it started working.. me in India and using BSNL broadband.. the 5 min break told me what will happen if Google dies...I will die..
