Every time I try to open a URL involving Google, I get this page:

Probably a temporary issue. I can't get to their mail servers sometimes, or have to try repeatedly.

But then, maybe it's just you.

No idea. But typing in "google.com" or doing a search from Safari's search box both take me to that screen. Maybe it's a DNS problem.

Try clearing your cookies. For some reason this happened to me once, where everything google would go to yahoo, and everything facebook would go to myspace. It was the world turned upside down I tells ya! Anyway, it must have been something stupid I picked up from a shady website, because clearing out the cookies did the trick.

Set your dns to 8.8.8.8, see if that fixes it.
