Buzz Out Loud Lounge: What would Google look like during GMail Outage??
What would Google look like during GMail Outage??
by robstak - 9/2/09 9:15 AMcuz i imagine everyone siting around eating tofu squares doing free pilates classes with new world music in the background, and then BAM!!! Code Red, everyone is scrambling into work mode/battle stations with red lights flashing and sirens blaring. you look at the work space and its just a ginormous factory floor full of faces aglow with computer screen mood lighting with the din of muttering and key clacks echoing in the emptiness. "vvtf is wrong?" "I dunno" "is it a virus? a hacker attack?" "zomg!"... and then everyone realizes that Steve the intern tripped over a cable and disconnected Google from all of the internet... God Steve is such a ******!
I think there is a south park similar to this, lol. but that's just what I imagined yesterday.

Schmidt would then dash into the server room, take a look at the mass of red blinking lights, and mutter, "Oh, god, it's worse than I thought." He would then run over to a meeting room where Larry and Sergey were already waiting, along with the rest of the board (some of whom would be brought in by either Skype or hologram). He would then declare, "Folks, this is very serious. we're going to DEFCON 2."
hahaha "Dear God..."

Well

Who is crazy enough to rely on a web app for email anyway!
(NT) Thank you, John C. Dvorak.
by erier2003 - 9/3/09 8:28 AM In reply to: Well by Nicholas BuenkDon't get me wrong
by Nicholas Buenk - 9/3/09 9:21 AM In reply to: (NT) Thank you, John C. Dvorak. by erier2003I love gmail, precisely because they're the only free email service that doesn't force me to use their web app, free imap is awesome.
But yeah, I fully agree with Dvorak's views on the cloud.

by n74jw - 9/4/09 6:43 PM In reply to: What would Google look like during GMail Outage?? by robstakI actually thought of a lone tech in a walmart-sized building. Other admins, elsewhere made the changes, didn't tell the lowly tech and now his/her area of the Google Grid is on fire.
Scone anyone?
