Earlier today Google was down for 15 minutes. While their company spokesman said it was a DNS issue
"It was not a hacking or a security issue," said Krane. He said the problem was related to the DNS, or Domain Name System, though Krane did not elaborate. The DNS translates domain names for computers.
"Google's global properties were unavailable for a short period of time," Krane said. "We've remedied the problem and access to Google has been restored worldwide."

Seems to be www2 and www3 google servers that are down from here. I just checked on the Google Dance Tool and found results only for the first server, not the other two. And everything is very, very slow! Even Yahoo is unreliable at the moment and I can't see a connection there.
