Google took over the INTRANET world too?

As I was working on one of the local copies of my client’s site, suddenly all of the links start to respond very slowly.  Well, for a microsecond, I thought there was some problem with my Apache server, but apparently Google servers have been so busy to respond (at least, the server mirrors in India) that I couldn’t test even my local site.  Since my local site has a tweeny little code to contact google-analytics (which, of course, is being used by almost all public websites), my page waits, waits and waits so long, until finally when there’s no response from google it continues to load the rest of my content.  At this rate, I will have to wait 12-25 seconds just for a small spacing adjustment or a color change to a text in my site.

Like somone might comment: Google has taken over the INTRANET world too? What an Irony!  As I’m writing, Google hasn’t recovered still yet (from the past 40 minutes) and the only option I’m now left with is to pull off my LAN cable and work on completely isolated local site (so it no longer waits on google-analytics.com), until Google God is done with HIS nap!
