It’s 10:54 pm, Saturday, January 31 here in the Philippines as I’m writing this. I noted the time because, right now, Google is going insane. How?

I wanted to check out Google’s M-Lab after reading about it in Lifehacker. I clicked the link on the article but for some reason it didn’t go through. So I go to Google and type M-Lab. Imagine my surprise when all the search results had the “This site may harm your computer” warning underneath them! I tried Yahoo, speedtest.net, and technabob: still the same result. Finally, I searched for Google:

What. Anyone else see this?

*Update : Google’s back to normal again. My time as a detective comes to an end. :( *
