Is Pricewatch messed up for anyone else?

Yeah it's screwed up for me too. I was just about to post and ask what the hell happened to their site....

Does anyone know what the hell is going on with Pricewatch?? It's asking for a username and password on a login window! Also every time I try the page, I get a firewall warning for smartcard reader DLL trying to be accessed with info trying to sent to 168.143.107.163 (Verio)! Pricewatch is on Rackspace and that is not even their IP address.

Apparently those of us having problems are having different problems since I seem the be the only one where it's asking for a user login!

I see what's going on. Those of you not having problems are evidently using WWW.pricewatch.com and I never use the www prefix. Obviously the idiots have screwed something up where their site can ONLY be accessed now WITH the www prefix. http://www.pricewatch.com is fine, http://pricewatch.com is not.

I also realize now that it's THIS website that has that IP address. So why Anandtech is trying to probe this DLL on my PC and get a Ethernet packet dump for it is beyond me!
