GMail begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 1:14 p.m. ET, January 24th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug…

Gmail is still down and I think my shared office space is on the verge of a panic attack. Brokers, marketers and UX designers all crying.

"Gmail is down" says the whole universe a little too loudly as they walk by the boss's office & collectively go for a Friday afternoon beer.

That was a long, harrowing 15 minutes gmail was down. Let's group hug, maybe sing an uplifting song and work out our anxiety.
