SkyDrive Users Experience Access Issues

SkyDrive Users Experience Access IssuesHmmm, it seems that gaining access to a particular online service is not all that plain sailing in the past few days. Google had issues with their Gmail, with slow email deliveries being one of the major thorns recently, and here we are with Microsoft’s SkyDrive – a cloud data storage service that does seem to affect a bunch of folks who are unable to see or modify their files.

In a Live Status page, it posted an alert at 4 pm Eastern time today that stated, “SkyDrive is having problems accessing and modifying files. You might not be able to view, change, upload, or delete files.” So far, it remains to be seen as to what is the cause of such issues. Of course, this is not the first time that something like this has affected Microsoft’s online services, and knowing the law of probability, it will not be the last, either. In August, Microsoft also stared down a barrel of problems which affected SkyDrive, Outlook.com and People services, with the Outlook.com problems taking a few days to resolve. That was certainly a far bleaker situation compared to today. Hopefully, Microsoft’s engineers will be able to iron out the kinks in no time at all.

    Gyration Announces New Keyboards

    Gyration Announces New KeyboardsGyration might sound as though it is a company that deals with Shakira’s dancing ability, but it is actually a company that has just re-issued a couple of its classic wireless keyboards, namely the 101-key Gyration Classic Full-Size Wireless Keyboard and the 88-key Gyration Classic Compact Wireless Keyboard. Both of these keyboards would arrive with sculpted keys to deliver tactile-response typing, in addition to dedicated multimedia and Internet browsing keys, not to mention the ability to work within a wireless range of up to 100 feet, now how about that?

    Described as “rugged, accurate and powerful, with an extended range that makes them ideal for use in boardrooms, training centers, meeting halls, houses of worship and outdoor presentation applications”, it does seem as though these keyboards will bring the old as well as fuse with the new to deliver quite a punch. Not only that, the asking price for these keyboards happen to be less than $70 a pop, which is always music to anyone’s ears in such a financially difficult moment for many around the globe. Features include 101-key and 88-key sculpted key layouts, media transport and audio controls, dedicated Internet browsing keys, a 2.4GHz RF USB receiver, as well as the ability to play nice with both Windows and Mac platforms.

    Google Sheds More Light On Gmail Delivery Delay

    Google Sheds More Light On Gmail Delivery DelayAll right, I am quite sure that many folks out there who are also Gmail users ran into issues with the online email service yesterday (which we also reported on), and even until today, there has been a fair number of Gmail users who woke up to a rather unpleasant surprise – that some of their Gmail messages were arriving at a slow pace that they were not used to, with certain attachments not making the cut, either. Google has apologized, saying, “We’d like to start by apologizing—we realize that our users rely on Gmail to be always available and always fast, and for several hours we didn’t deliver. We have analyzed what happened, and we’ll tell you about it below. In addition, we’re taking several steps to prevent a recurrence.”

    Basically, the cause of the message delivery delays happened to be attributed to a dual network failure, which is a rather rare event as a couple of different, redundant network paths actually fail to work simultaneously. While these two network failures happen to be unrelated, being down in tandem had actually resulted in a reduced capacity for Gmail to deliver messages to users. Needless to say, from 5:54 a.m. PST onward, messages started to pile up and Google’s automated monitoring alerted the Gmail engineering team within minutes, so an investigation into the matter was launched. Were you or your business affected by this slowdown? [Press Release]

    Refreshed iMacs With Latest Intel Processors AnnouncedBack in 2012, Apple unveiled their new iMac computers which featured a newer design that made the computer even thinner than before.

    Arc Touch Mouse Surface Edition Announced

    Arc Touch Mouse Surface Edition AnnouncedIt was only recently that Microsoft announced both the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 tablets, and if you were thinking of getting your hands on either device but would like to use a mouse with the tablet to increase your productivity, Microsoft has also announced the Arc Touch Mouse Surface Edition. This is basically the same Arc Touch mouse that Microsoft announced a couple of years ago, except that this time the mouse has been designed to resemble the new Microsoft Surface tablets.

    Just like the original, the Arc Touch mouse can be flattened which makes it an ideal traveling companion. It pairs with devices via Bluetooth 3.0 so apart from using it together with the Surface 2 tablets, it should play nicely with other devices such as laptops and computers as well, as long as it has Bluetooth connection. The Arc Touch Surface Edition mouse will be priced at $69.99 and will be available for pre-order in the US and Canada come 24th September.
