Gmail hiccupping

by Elinor Mills

Google says some users of its free Gmail service and others may experience some problems as the company works to improve the system. "Users of all Web services may have periodic trouble with access, and as we make updates to improve and enhance Gmail, some users may see error messages and experience short periods of inaccessibility," a Google spokesman said in a statement Wednesday. "These errors are neither persistent nor pervasive, but we take all issues very seriously and resolve them as quickly as possible. We encourage these users to contact the Gmail Support team, who can investigate any problems. We're continually listening to feedback from our users and working to improve the product."

I've been happy with it

I've been pretty dang happy with it especially considering what I pay for it.

Has anyone seen anything on Gdrive lately or did I miss it?

Take 5

I did get a error when trying to use GMail with a pop client, but the message went on the next scheduled connect.

So, if Google needs a 5 minute break every once in a while, I can live with that. After all, they ARE hosting my domain for free.

There appears to be another outage. See the latest postings in this thread:

After 5 years, Firefox faces new challenges

Mozilla helped reshape the Web since releasing Firefox 1.0 five years ago. Now it's got a reawakened Microsoft and Google Chrome to reckon with.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
