Google comes up, but a lot of other sites wont, engadget, joystiq, PSN, and the daughters Star Wars servers, all offline.

If you are using IE, try going to tools/internet options/advanced then scroll down to Security and make sure that you have SSL.2.0 and SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.1 checked. If you still see issues, go back and check TLS 1.2

no, has to do with changes in security settings. Most of the time it is when you go to a secure site (HTTPS) but some sites are having problem without them being secure servers.

I still think its a government plot to overthrow the world and round up all the muslim haters. But maybe thats just me.

I doubt that the security settings caused sites to randomly stop working one day.

Are you on Metrocast? I have noticed a couple times when Gizmodo was unavailable while on Metrocast, but worked fine on 3G. If it still happening, call them. They probably screwed up their domain controller.

Not sure what it was, but a simple router reboot fixed it. Never seen it go out that way before, with some parts of the net working fine, but some not.

Actually, I know this because we started getting complaints that our site was not working in the outside world, we discovered a change in security settings on IE, fixing those on the user systems got our site back up to them.

The same thing happened to me yesterday morning. I did a reboot, ran several anti-virus programs (they didn't find anything) and all is now well in net land.
