                    Partial Outage Hits Some Google Services

   by Reuters

   Google Inc. is experiencing a small outage of some of its popular
   applications such as Gmail and Google Drive, the search engine said on
   Wednesday.

   The company disclosed on its website that six of its 13 applications
   were having partial status disruptions.

   The issue with Gmail, for example, is affecting less than 0.007 percent
   of Google Mail users, who cannot access their accounts.

   Google said in a response to a request for comment that it is currently
   investigating the issue and will post the cause once the investigation
   is complete.

   "For everyone who is affected, we apologize -- we know you count on
   Google to work for you and we're working hard to restore normal
   operation for you," Google said.
