The latest post on ‘Mashable’ is titled “How a Simple Gmail Outage Crashed Google Chrome”.

Pete Pachal says, “Gmail went down yesterday for a relatively short period of time — service was intermittent for about an hour (compare that to the extended outage of 2009). However, this outage had an unexpected complication: It also caused the Google Chrome browser to crash.

On the surface, that appears very odd: Gmail is a service, but Chrome is an app. Sure, they’re both Google products, but they do different things — why would a hiccup in one affect the other?”.
