First time I've ever used yahoo search.

I'm not sure whether to be impressed or terrified that Google can -- and, apparently, does -- roll out updates across their entire server farm in a matter of a minute or two.
"Since we push these updates in a staggered and rolling fashion, the errors began appearing between 6:27 a.m. and 6:40 a.m. and began disappearing between 7:10 and 7:25 a.m., so the duration of the problem for any particular user was approximately 40 minutes." from http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/this-site-may-harm-yo...

I wonder how much it's costing me per second. I was right in the middle of some research! Now I'm going to spend a hour surfing HN looking for fresh new Google jokes! On the other hand, nothing brings people from around the world together like a bug in Google.

Deleted mine too, here's a screenshot in case they fix it http://tinyurl.com/b4k25q Its really LOL that they mark google.com as "may harm your computer"
Here is the official explanation from Google: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/this-site-may-harm-yo...
" StopBadware.org to get our list of URLs " " Unfortunately (and here's the human error), the URL of '/' was mistakenly checked in as a value to the file and '/' expands to all URLs. " Sounds like an opportunity to add a new acceptance test on items in that list :-)
I feel sorry for the poor sap who's going to get fired for this.

Okay, it sounds like it actually takes 13 to 15 minutes to roll out an update across the entire farm. That feels more like what I was expecting.
