Google downtime?

This is one of those scary things that are not supposed to happen: The entire Google web presence seems to have disappeared from the Internet! Google.com, google.co.uk, Gmail, … All gone! It confused me so much that I assumed my connection was down and I rebooted my router. I then tried other sites and realised that the impossible had happened: GOOGLE IS DOWN!.

    Google seems to be back up now (for me), but gmail is still down.

    I did notice the same thing; However, Google (and Gmail) seem to be back up and running now. Wew! I cannot imagine my (virtual) life without Google :-)
