You've got to be kidding me. When Apple's servers are down, all Macs worldwide start freezing randomly? My XCode is hanging during builds, is this why?

This code signing enforcement stuff has gone way too far. Heads should roll for this.

This seems to explain why my Mac was nearly unusable after a reboot last week. Turns out bind crashed on my firewall leaving me with no DNS.

After I restarted it I could actually launch apps other than terminal again.
