Can we, like, get independant verification of this? Yeah I can't get to many sites either, but I'd like a more serious site than NT telling me "The int0rw3b is falling!"
Any links to some "health of the internet" sites?

I remember reading some reports about members of al Queida who admitted that the organization had as one of it's prime objectives the taking down of the internet. Makes you wonder if this wasn't an attempt....
