The Day When Gmail Was Caught Nude In Public

It all happened when firefox was on it’s way to display my Gmail Inbox, but instead of the usual Gmail page, the browser landed in Gmail’s database directory. I found it interesting to peep in a little bit, as this doesn’t happen everyday when you get to see a side of a renowned web application that isn’t available for view every time.

Screen: 1

Screen: 2

Screen: 3

The surprising thing was that Gmail was in that state for almost 10 – 12 minutes and generally, this happens while upgrading the database or while changing permissions in the directories. And did you see the third scree shot? If my data transfer speed would have been faster, i would have quickly downloaded those tracks :P .

    To SuperBlogTips-
    True, this means that Google is at its toes for keeping its products up to date and as a result, some of the updates go buggy at times.

    To Tejaswini-
    Yes, it is a matter of luck and time when you witness these interesting situations.

    Oh! blame my browser for the misunderstanding. I did not mean to be offensive at all. My browser goofed up and is not displaying emoticons at all and which changed the meaning of your comment "I'm feeling more and more techno-greeky after reading all of this!!!"

    If you have any questions regarding any portion of this article, feel free to drop in your comment.. :)

    PS: You've spelt renowned wrong. Sorry.. But i can't see a grammatical error and ignore it… occupational hazard! :)

  9. Raj says:
