Just catching up on the RSS feed and saw Wired’s article.  I experienced some 
strange Gmail behavior earlier this evening, maybe they aren’t out of the woods.

Google Fails Around the World Thursday Morning - Updated

Users across the globe from Portugal to Denver are reporting that Google’s 
search, advertising and e-mail services are not working or are loading in 
minutes, not milliseconds.

UPDATE: The issue is resolved, and Google says the problem affected some 14 
percent of its users.

Wired.com’s offices can’t get to Gmail, for instance — but staff can get there 
using the Wi-Fi meant for visitors. Network administrators around the country 
are reporting incredibly long traceroutes. AT&T and Level 3 are reportedly 
slow, while service on Cogent’s network seem to be snappy. Reports indicate 
problems for Level3 in New York, Cox fiber in Virginia, Verizon FIOS in 
Virginia and Brazil, among others.

Google knows about the the problem, but did not have an explanation yet. The 
SANS Internet Storm Center is tracking the outage here
