http://news.google.de/ is currently showing empty rows, after days of less and less reliable results and many timeouts.

Google News (US) insists on taking me to the mobile version.

Weird..
This shouldn't be happening to a NON beta service. :/
But no one is perfect. :)

BTW,
[put at-character here] Colin;
I'm getting the full " Make your own iGoogle " page in the non logged in version.

You (or anyone else) still getting it?

10 minutes ago: news.google.com -> no personalized recommendations. (I am signed in, of course.)

Currently, "things" are back to "normal". Damn entropy.

Anyone tried to get an official response from Google?

Maybe Philipp?

(And yes, i do know Matt Cutts works for Google, but i'm talking about a more comprehensive response. Like, why Google News had these problems in the first place, and so forth...)

[put at-character here]David – I logged in after I took that screenshot of the iGoogle page and after logging out I never saw that exact page again. It could have been another test of personalizing the page without signing into a Google account. Just seemed to be pretty empty to me.

So this might mean as you said, Google's next step of personalization eh?

Cool :) (Or is it?)

Yes, I sent off a question to them yesterday, will see if they reply anything today... nothing so far, but it was weekend and they're just waking up now in California I guess :)

Waking up!? At 4.30 surely even Googlers are still dreaming about petabytes and terraflops... :)
