I've just reloaded chrome twice as well as gmail and it's working fine here in Australia.

Is this affecting Chrome as well? Looks like it might be a bigger problem. It just crashed for three guys in our office within a few seconds of each other. Edit: Nobody was using Gmail at any point.

Crashed for me too, twice.

EDIT: A colleague is seeing it too.

Both Chromium and mobile Chome are crashing for me. The Play Store is also unavailable to get a different browser.

Edit: I had Chrome Sync enabled on both. Seems more stable with syncing disabled.

I don't know, if there's one thing that seems more ignorant/oblivious than the idea that HN will somehow magically DDoS GMail, it's complaining about downvotes on HN. :P (P.S. Poe's Law)

Probably not the time to rub people's face in it, but I host my own mail server because of crap like this. Thread from the other day: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4886236

Meh, I've had my Gmail for a little over 6 years now. This is the first time I ever remember having this problem. (My Gmail is back up now, by the way.) I'll take this frequency over the effort it takes to maintain my own mail server any day.

...and it's back up here now - must've been down 10 minutes or so!

Chrome is also crashing for me. It gives this error - Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library/ Runtime Error! / Program: C:\User... "This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way" / "Please contact the application's support team for more information."
