Yeah. It only lasted about a half hour. I thought it was funny how Google was tagging Amazon.com as a potentially harmful site.

no, but I'm tired of how google flags half the korean websites as harmful. I've heard them talk about trying to get marketshare in Korea but its pretty hard when they're labeling things like bank sites, or official company websites as harmful just because koreans get activex installed at birth.

No, but I did have to swipe my subway card three times before it worked.

And what a relief when it finally takes on the third try! It's like the world is suddenly your oyster - look out life, here I come.

the google thing happened to one of my searches but I just scrolled on to page 2 and it was fine.

maybe they aren't aware it wasn't as bad as they thought. some people give up too easy.
