Its administrator control panel, which lets companies manage their Google applications, is completely down.
The disruptions started affecting people worldwide around 8 a.m. Eastern time.
Google Inc. says it's "working hard to restore normal operation."

Also it was first discovered at least three hours ago.
Hasn’t stopped the daily Publisher’s Clearinghouse emails so it must be ok here.
LOL!!!
And a demonstration of the foolishness of cloud computing and having your data on computers not under your control.
Yesterday, American Airlines’ systems went down.
Things that make you go, “Hmmmmm.”
