  1. Comment - Google 'feels your pain' after the latest Gmail outage

    (Aug 12, 2008 - 1:37 PM)

    Yeah, I was irritated when my gmail account was down for almost 2 hours -- and it definitely caused some communication headaches -- but let's be real here. It would be a fair guess to estimate that 99.9% of those angry about this are among the 0.01% most fortunate people on Earth in terms of safety, salary, education and available job opportunity. These spoiled multitudes get angry if they lose 2 hours of a service they use for free, like their tap water, when mere tap water AND electricity are "down" for months on end for hundreds of millions of people every week. I mean seriously... we are a spoiled, pampered and embarrassingly petty society.
