Google problems, anyone?

Has anyone else been having problems with Google and Gmail? Gmail seemed to be down for half the day on Wednesday, and we're having problems again today, although some of our friends don't seem to have been affected.

And yesterday we got some server errors on Google itself. Maybe it's a side effect of those problems they've been having handling the traffic on Google Earth. And by the way, this is how good Google Maps are: an acquaintance bought a CD of satellite images recently at not inconsiderable expense. The free Google version is better ... although it does have a watermark.

Google users should be aware that g's privacy policy allows them to keep a record of your details and every search you do, and they do.

The site below allows you to use G without storing your details.
