Google: Not Infallible After All

Source: saunderslog.com

I’ve just had my first ever experience with a Google product that didn’t work.  I guess the boys from MountainView are human beings after all.  Google Web Accelerator is conceptually a great idea, but it’s just not ready for prime time.  It breaks my blog hoster (BlueHost) cpanel application, my media player application, and numerous others.  Web based applications just hang.  Send this dog back to the dog house.  Woof!
