Google says Gmail, YouTube, Google Docs, and other Google services suffered a worldwide outage for about an hour for a majority of users on Monday

Update: It looks like services are slowly starting to come back again. We've contacted Google for a statement about what happened.

Google's entire suite of products crashing, bringing people to a grinding halt, less than 24 hours before Europe reveals its sweeping new anti-monopoly guidelines. You hate to see it.

Annual reminder while Google is down (but YouTube works in incognito mode) that the cloud is just someone else's computer. Always have a backup.
