I think what happened is he didn't get to finish his sentence. Hmmm sounds a lot like the noise you would make if a government agent pulled a bag over your head from behind. R.I.P. OP....

Suggests that there is a pipe between gmail and the rest of the internet that runs through the NSA, so when the NSA was DDOS'd, gmail was affected.

Extremely relevant XKCD.

Title: CIA

Alt-text: It was their main recruiting poster, hung nearly ten feet up a wall! This means the hackers have LADDER technology! Are we headed for a future where everyone has to pay $50 for one of those locked plexiglass poster covers? More after the break ...

When was gmail down? I'm on it pretty much all day, and did't notice an interruption.

Come on, OP. I love that the NSA's homepage may have had it's dick knocked in the dirt for the sole reason that most people are ignorant about how little it means...

But this is dumb. Do your homework. Google has over 250,000 servers. Gmail wasn't down. And they are definitely not being proxied through NSA servers.

DDOS attack is not a hack.
