Gchat has been down for me for over an hour. I don't ever remember a google service being out for that long.

For a brief moment, just a brief moment, I thought they are shutting them down.

I'm able to get forwarded calls but not make calls from the service.

Amusingly, with Hangouts down, Skype video chats have become unusable. Time to move to Jitsi[1]?

So here's something interesting: http://i.imgur.com/5ek8L9X.png

When I send or receive an email, it's exactly 1 hour behind. Wonder if it's related.

So the status page ( http://www.google.com/appsstatus ) mentions that Hangouts isn't covered by an SLA. Is that still true if you bought one of the Chromebox for Meetings which when discussed sounded like it used the same infrastructure?

Or are those Hangouts actually Google Talk and not G+ Hangouts? And how stupid is it that that is something resembling a decent question?

Most likely just messed up timezones. It's the season for that (we're in the magical 3 week or so period where DST is applied in the US but not yet in Europe).
