Contacts temporarily unavailable in Google Talk and GMAIL

Seems Google having problem loading Contacts in both the Gmail and Google Talk. Googles' response to this problem :

Contacts temporarily unavailable

Your contact list is temporarily unavailable, which may result in a few issues:

• Auto-complete may not work
• The contact manager may not load
• Chat may not work

We're working to fix the problem, and in the meantime, you should be able to continue to read and send mail as normal. Thank you for your patience.

http://gmail.google.com

I used to check my gmails typing http://gmail.google.com, but today when i access the gmail in the same manner a strange message used to appear. it says something like this :

“We can't provide service under the Gmail name in Germany; we're called Google Mail here instead.

If you're traveling in Germany, you can access your mail at http://mail.google.com.

Oh, and we'd like to link the URL above, but we're not allowed to do that either. Bummer.

For general information about Google, please visit www.google.com or www.google.de.”

really what is it? :)

by the way i was able to access the gmail through google.
