Unable to Access Google Apps!!

Well folks, it has happened again, some people have gone again without access to Gmail and Google Apps. On August 12th, they had a similar problem. This recent one started on Wednesday afternoon of this week with users not being able to access their Apps/Gmail (thank goodness it never affected me) accounts and some had to wait up to 24hrs to regain access. I don't know what I would do if this happened to me, I'm a Gmailholic and constantly looking at notifications from my Google Talk labs edition. Google is putting out great products, but when problems like this occur, I feel that they should get some of these products out of beta and put the "highly reliable" stamp on them.
