Gmail Suffers Major Outage

An overloaded Google router caused a shutdown of Gmail on Tuesday, affecting 150 million users for nearly two hours. What do you think?

Young Woman

Carla Levy,
Systems Analyst
"So by the end of next May, we should start seeing the first of the Google Outage babies being born."

Young Man

Eric Newman,
Pile-Driver Operator
"Now I don't look so silly for never signing up for an e-mail address, do I?"

Black Man

Adam Carmody,
Safe Installer
"Remember the time when 150 million people couldn't use Gmail for nearly ten years? From 1993–2003? And every year before that? Unimaginable."
