Hey computer glitches happen and like ssj4Gogeta said, you cant complain about a free service (although people seem to think that it is their duty to).

As for the suggestion by Steve W...
Don't you remember Hotmail's problems a few months ago? Their servers were refusing some peoples connections for a week. Their were angry people allover the next (I was also affected for the first 3 days) although Microsoft denied their was a problem at first. At least Google has a history of coming clean about these things. Moral of the story, glitches will happen, no matter the computer savvy company responsible.

google is still having problems -- new accounts are frozen with service not found errors after registration as of today. its still ongoing and the fix seems to have broken new signups on google apps (paid corporate accounts)

Why not try hotmail lol
Seriously if its mission critical you shouldne be using Gmail, the fault is yours not Googles.


not a big deal like lack of email service, but iGoogle is failing too. They just pushed out the mandatory update which doesn't allow users to choose to utilize or go back to the previous version at will. 

I'm very unhappy with the way they're handling RSS feeds now. Makes much less useful- either you wade through the descriptions for every headline, or you get no description whatsoever.

They'll probably fix it, but honestly, how did the test users not pick up on this during the testing?

you can't complain about the quality of something you're getting for free. google's free services are much, MUCH better than the paid services offered by any other company so a failure once every few years is quite acceptable.

"But Google wouldn't interrupt service to its free Gmail and Apps users as a way to suggest that they might want to switch to its paid services, would it?"
no google would never do that.
