Google has become part of so many people's lives on this planet, like a dependable appendage -- until suddenly it malfunctions.

Here’s the gist of Google’s explanation: What happened? Very simply, human error.

Google flags search results with the message “This site may harm your computer” if the site is known to install malicious software in the background or otherwise surreptitiously.

Fortunately, our on-call site reliability team found the problem quickly and reverted the file. Since we push these updates in a staggered and rolling fashion, the errors began appearing between 6:27 a.m. and 6:40 a.m. and began disappearing between 7:10 and 7:25 a.m., so the duration of the problem for any particular user was approximately 40 minutes.

Tens of thousands of Thai anti-government protesters swarmed into the prime minister’s office compound in Bangkok on Saturday in a bid to press for fresh elections, the latest example of the political dysfunction that has roiled the Southeast Asian kingdom for nearly three years.

However, unlike previous protests, UDD organizers said protesters would not enter Government House, and would disperse after reading a list of demands that include the swift prosecution of PAD members who seized two Bangkok airports last year, paralysing air traffic and denting the economy.
