Gmail went down for what Google called a "small subset of users" earlier today. Complaints started popping up on blogs and on Twitter. The outage didn't affect any other Google services, and it was dealt with in the same day, but bloggers are raising their eyebrows, and rightfully so; this isn't the first time this has happened recently, and many of Gmail's users are professionals who depend on reliable e-mail service.

Did they forgot to pay hosting bills or what?
If Google is controlled by some government authorities in USA then there is no freedom what so ever there. They are dirty but try to show others that they are clean.
