Okay, a kind of strange thing happened when trying to troubleshoot Michael's problem. I did a dscacheutil -flushcache as I was going to recommend that to him. After that I couldn't get here or anything AppleCentral. Any other site I went to was fine though.
I remoted in to a different computer that is offsite and was able to get here from the offsite machine. I had to reboot my computer to clear things up.
After rebooting I tried a dscacheutil -flushcache again and everything is fine this time. Something funny with DNS somewhere.

It seems to be getting worse on my end. I haven't changed anything in my system in the last few days. I had a FF hang on "waiting for users.woway.com" (net - I forgot, now). Had to close FF and relaunch.

Yeah -- this really smells of Internet connectivity, as it's been completely fine for me the entire time ... and I'm *NOT* on the same LAN as any of the necessary servers, so it's basically the same for me as it is for everyone else.

I'm currently in Safari on my "Emergency Boot" partition/drive and no problems loading at the moment. I seem to be having some issues with my internal drive, but it checks out OK with Disk Utility and DW. Still, it just doesn't seem right to me - some apps behaving poorly.
