I've been trying to search via google.com, and fail to go to their website. Using few pc in few area, and still unable to browse to google search. Is it me or is it google having updates?
I think it was about 5 minutes of offline for google search. I have ask someone over some places which is far from my place(via msn) and his place also show the same thing.
probably your isp or connection problem. google almost never down. (downtime cost their income and money) XD
I would imagin that having it down for just 5 minutes would cost them thousands and if not millions so I doubt it if they will allow it to ever go down. It's not just about the money they will lose from ads, but the reputation, first time visitors going to their competitors, etc.
it's not down. i think there is a problem with your computer . try to restart your computer i hope this will solve your problem
