Official Gmail Blog: Today’s vowel outage.
In yet another blow of outages and problems for the Cloud Computing proponents, it seems that Gmail has suffered yet another problem. Over the past year, Cloud Computing supporters have raged over the features and benefits of computing “in the cloud”, yet outages like these continue to occur in massive numbers.
Google‘s Gmail blog today noted that they are suffering problems with their flagship free email service. The blog post states that the problem was noted at 6:01am Pacific time, and that it began spreading to other data centers in an almost virulent fashion. The gmail blog goes on to state that the letters a,e,i,o, and u, are missing from the alphabet on their web servers. Google has yet to determine why this is happening, and recommends that you track their blog for ongoing details. (linked here)
The Gmail staff and Google headquarters have refused to comment on this outage, stating, “We do not discuss ongoing technical support issues.”
