It appears OpenDNS are blocking the Google API’s CDN. This means a lot of websites could be broken at the moment as over 8% of the top million websites use Google’s CDN. It also shows that although Google seem to run the Internet they don’t. Google launched their own DNS service a little while ago, I think they might be pushing it a bit harder after this. It also highlights the risks of only relying on third party services, your website should always provide a fallback solution or degrade gracefully.
If you use OpenDNS then disable Phishing protection to get around this problem, just remember to turn it back on when Google and OpenDNS make friends again.
