Earlier quoted context omitted.

The cause is a core infrastructure failure I believe edit: It was a change to talk, not sure what it was that failed yet. edit 2: Google Talk has been restored for some users and should be resolved for all in near future.

[citation requested] I mean that in the "genuine curiosity" sense, not the usual snarky xkcd sense. What do you know? Who do you know? Please elaborate. Have they angered Midas and his mighty golden touch? Did they finally get enough of them down at the same time to where they couldn't bring any of them back up? Circular dependencies are fun that way. I was on call the day of a cascading failure event some years ago…

For one second i thought Google.com is down. That would have meant the internet is down!

What you find in google is a subset of the world wide web which is a subset of the internet. There is much more to the internet than you think.
