Many of us noticed the same problem this morning, Dave. Google Search essentially had a catastrophic failure that extended across all browsers, apparently as a result of attempting to integrate malware- blocking functionality propagated by stopbadware.org. I know Prof. Zittrain has been talking about the future of the Internet and how to stop it, but I didn't think he had this in mind.

I went to Google this morning, and every search result it returned on my laptop was marked:

"This site may harm your computer"

Wonder how long this will take to fix... should be trivial, but maybe Google has lost control of its operations.
