Gmail is down
Gmail has been down for quite some time. I was in the middle of writing an important email, and BAM! I tweeted Mike Arrington, but im sure he already knew. Yikes, im pissed. Look at the twitter search http://search.twitter.com/search?q=gmail, ive also read in some comments on the TechCrunch blogpost, that MobileMe, and supposedly Facebook is down.
As posted on TechCrunch today there is a mysterious grey box on gmail? Wonder what it is? I left a few comments…
“Its the portal to the Google Flux Time Capacitor — Highly credible sources tell us Google has created a way to travel through time via their unique application system. Currently it is only available through google maps, but plans to unveil a full-scale hardware version are in talks, sources say Microsoft has already announced its version, which will take you back to windows BEFORE it crashed every 10 minutes. Our source also tells us that Steve Balmer plans to use it to re-grow his ever-expanding bald spot.”

What do I think it is? Well, aside from a bug, which is what it probably is, I think it is something to do with music or radio player, the id of the object is “sound_frame”. As much as I would like this to be a cool service, changes are it is just a goof.
Ohh well, better luck next time.

on a serious note, i think it is a google radio — they are going to allow you to listen to music via gmail, and any other google system, are they going to take on pandora?
We will see…
