This site may harm your computer


By Stavr0 - Posted on 31 January 2009

Funny thing happened this morning. Google broke the internets. EVERY Google search was tagging every hit as potentially harmful. I was thinking-- FINALLY, they tell it like it is.

Then it occurred to me they may not have meant it.

Of course, a few hours later, it was fixed, and of course Slashdot and every other aggregator out there was reporting on it.

And why do the trailer for Fringe's TV show episode 'Ghost Network' call it the Internets? If they're trying to be funny, then Ha Ha, good jorb. But this is Fox we're talking about. They may actually think that's how it's spelled.

Yeah, I saw pics elsewhere too. It's so true! But if there were truth in search results, they would have to put more lines of disclaimers than actual results:

"This site may harm your computer. This site may contain pr0n. If it does not contain pr0n, chances are there are some pretty explicit ads being served (possibly by us) on this site. This site likely has nothing to do with what you're searching for, but came up because they thought it would be clever to skew the results by using popular keywords on their page. This site may contain accordions."

Good thing it's fixed now. I feel so much safer.
