During the day I noticed GMail was a little flakey. I somehow attributed that to the network today, because it was not only GMail being flakey. But I’ve seen the below message more than enough.<\/p>\n

Google Down<\/p>\n

Makes you wonder. What on earth is happening at ‘GooglePlex’. Did Larry have enough of it and re-signed up for a Hotmail account? Did Serge spill his coffee? Anyway, I haven’t seen an outage like this from Google in quite a while.
\nMakes you hope you don’t see this in the morning headlines: “GMail inboxes hacked by mega-spammer.”<\/p>\n

(All I wanted to do was send this ‘important’ document. ;-))<\/p>\n

Added:<\/strong> I see a clear breach of policy here: “… users may not<\/a>: Interfere with other Gmail users’ enjoyment of the Service<\/strong>“. I reckon all Google employees a first hour user, so why are they getting away with spoiling my<\/strong> enjoyment? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
