Google Thinks Disney is MaliciousLast night, the Internet seemed to work like it always had. I'd enter something into the Google search field in Firefox and Google would show me a list of links that matched my search. This morning the results are pretty much the same except that Google marked the entire internet as "suspicious" with their new, Safe Browsing feature. And the best part about their Safe Browsing feature is that, in order to continue to a "suspicious" website, you have to copy the url from the body of the warning page and paste it into the browser. I'm all for moving changes to production in a timely fashion, but this is one of the many times that quick builds for fixes can go wrong.

My first thought: We should all learn from this that software, like an airplane, needs to be tested before being put to use.

My second thought: How much extra traffic are Yahoo and Hotmail getting today?
