It’s been only a week of Search Engine giant Google’s social networking service Google+ in the market, and already the buzz regarding the service is soaring. The insane response that the service got when it was launched in the market made a lot of tech buffs like us take their time from everything else and have a look at the service, and hence we created our Google+ profile and started exploring the service, which although is in its Beta stage, but looks rather promising.

All these new features will be available only on www.google.com in English, but according to Google these features will also  [...]

Google have concluded that the two hour Gmail shut down on Tuesday was the result of a miscalculation regarding the capacity of its system. Millions of Gmail users checking in for entertainment news to business updates were left stranded.

Google say that, the problem began when it took several Gmail servers offline for maintenance, a routine procedure that normally is transparent to users. However, the twist this time around was that Google had made certain modifications to the routers that direct Gmail traffic to servers with the intentions of improving reliability. These slight modifications obviously backfired and cost Google dearly. In a statement posted  [...]
