When I visit the sandbox to work on my open social gadget, I get error
messages in all gadgets. I noticed this about an hour ago, it was not
true about three hours ago. I think the problem is on Google's side.

>From multiple browsers on multiple computers (in the same office
network), with and without cookies deleted, I am seeing the Google
error page: "We're sorry... but your query looks similar to automated
requests from a computer virus or spyware application." This is true
for all of the gadgets in the sandbox (mine, and Google's developer
set of gadgets), except for the "My Gadgets" gadget which seems fine.

I've read the Google help page about this error page, and none of the
advice applies -- I was able to visit the gadgets fine this morning,
then not at all now. There are only two of us in this office, we are
not deliberately hitting Google, we are on Macs without any malware, a
"sudo ps -A" shows no errant processes, and a TCP packet sniffer shows
no unexpected traffic.

I think this is an error on the part of the Google servers. If so, I'd
like to hear when it will be fixed. If not, I'd love to hear how we
caused it and how to get back to normal, since the published
recommendations aren't working.

Thanks!
