Can't search on Yahoo or AOL search, either (they use Google's DB)

I've noticed major slowdowns
in both Google and Yahoo last night and this morning. But I can still use both.

5. Google Toolbar is great!
But only the standard setup. Don't install the page rank stuff or anything that requires that it track your browsing trail. Otherwise, it's very useful and stops spams to boot.

6. I noticed the announcement that MS wants to take on Google
A search engine component may be incorporated into Longhorn by the time it comes out. Billy and the boys are a tad jealous over Google's overwhelming success and intend to rustle some of their steers.

7. Why wouldn't we all switch to the MS search engine?
After all, they have such a distiguished record of making top-notch, bug free software. :eyes:

Hey Gates, listen up ... I will NEVER give up my Google! :smoke:

8. FYI - virus...
...took over my host file so that Google and any other search engine would redirect to another site.

Just deleted the host file and everything is back to normal.

10. Get a page from the FTC
apparently a google-specific virus. Probably the PNAC's plan to control Internent content!

12. You can get kicked off google & yahoo if you use web position
gold or other automatic ranking checkers to check the rankings of a web site. I've been kicked out for a day or two myself for doing that....
