Anyone else seeing issues with gmail?

Down, definitely down. Call the White House!


It should be clear that the root cause here is a lack of regulation, so could someone phone Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) _urgently_ and advise him that the only way to stop problems like this happening in future is to ensure that the government has a firm grip of the steering wheel at all these web2.0 companies. Also, rather than letting these trendy, fashionable Googlers attempt to fix critical systems like gmail, that real service problems like this ought to be fixed by accredited cyber security professionals, preferably ones which can demonstrate their computing ability by wearing a suit and tie.

If we've learned anything in the telecommunications world, it's that if any organisation can respond quickly to a problem and deal with it efficiently and effectively, it's a Government.
