Tardigrades (commonly known as water bears) form the phylum Tardigrada, part of the superphylum Ecdysozoa are microscopic, water-dwelling, segmented animals with eight legs. The name Tardigrada means “slow walker”. The biggest adults may reach a body length of 1.5 mm, the smallest below 0.1 mm. Freshly hatched larvae may be smaller than 0.05 mm. Tardigrades occur over the entire world, from the high Himalayas (above 6,000 m), to the deep sea (below 4,000 m) and from the polar regions to the equator. Tardigrades are able to survive in extreme environments that would kill almost any other animal. Some can survive temperatures close to absolute zero, 1,000 times more radiation than any other animal, nearly a decade without water, and even the vacuum of space.

GMail is down. My domain has GMail on it’s mail server as well, so I am at this point left with Yahoo and MSN. Good thing Google Finance is still working, just look at that Google stock going down.
More news here.
May God help us all! 
UPDATE: Google has posted the following on the gmail support site:
“We’re aware of a problem with Gmail affecting a number of users. This problem occurred at approximately 1.30AM Pacific Time. We’re working hard to resolve this problem and will post updates as we have them. We apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused”.
UPDATE: GMail is back on track. I guess we can still expect hickups since it’ still in BETA stage. Good job Google!
