Useful Articles. Interesting Photographs.
A quick review of the Google Nexus One mobile phone.
UPDATE: March 13 2011
Since I posted this I have COMPETELY changed my mind in the last year of using this phone. The iPhone is by far the superior phone. The iOS is way better than Android. Well at least for now.
The other day I used one of Google’s well documented functions to import some data into a Google Docs spreadsheet.
I was simply importing a .csv file into a spreadsheet and then poooof my spreadsheet was toast, I was no longer able to access my data.
When I try to access the document it tries to load for a few minutes and then times out to a completely blank page. I’ve tried everything, emptying caches, different browsers, different operating systems etc etc… Nothing works.
I’ve tried contacting Google via their contact forms and got no response. I tried the help forums and also got no response. I even tried to @reply the main google account in a futile attempt to get someone from the goog to notice.
This was important data I was using to research investments and now I cannot access the information at all.
I suppose it’s my fault for trusting Google with my information. I guess I was a bit naive thinking that I could use the cloud without incident. I’m not going to make that mistake again.
UPDATE: Google finally has a status page for Gmail here it is:
It’s very annoying when my Gmail goes down…
Gmail status page:
“a percentage of our users seeing ‘Server Errors’ and ‘Oops’ messages when trying to log in to their Gmail accounts. We realize that many of you depend on Gmail to communicate and assure you that all hands are on deck to fix the error. While we do not have an exact time until resolution to offer, this is currently our top priority and we’ll continue to post updates as they become available.”
