Yahoo Login Service Is Down

Well I don't know how many user across the globe felt a yahoo login service failure. It was quite evident around 11:00 AM London time when I was unable to login into few of my yahoo accounts. Be sure I was not using invalid username and password. Just within couple of minutes the service was restored. I think yahoo might update on why this has happened. No update as of now.

Update ( 30-Jan-2008 ) : There has been an another such outrage from yahoo. The user are unable to login into any services from yahoo including popular chat,mail and flickr accounts. This time it has lasted more than 5 minutes. It started around 04:45 AM London time. There is also a small change in the user interface of login screen. The sign-in seal show "Are you protected ?".



Update (30-Jan-2008) : Its almost more than half an hour and yahoo login services are still down. I am not sure about premium ( paid ) services. I have tried almost 20 times but I am unable to login. If I am not wrong yahoo usually block the account after few unsuccessful attempts. But there is no such warning. I tried to recover my password by providing my credit card information but it gave a programming exception ( FEATURE_ERROR_USER_OPEN_NO_ACCESS ). Well hold one if you thought it is happening with all yahoo id's then surprisingly its not. I have tested it on few other id's, a couple of them were found to be working fine and there was no exception error even if I tried to recover password ( though I don't have to as I was able to login ).

Professional Australians : Change the definition

"Professional" Australians almost redefined the word of "gentleman". Cricket still believed to be a gentleman's game in the cricket books. But today at the end of Sydney cricket test did everything to put India on losing side. Human errors ( read umpires ) were at its best almost every wrong decision was made against Indians. Australians needed additional support from umpires to get 10 Indian wickets. Professional and arrogantly aggressive Ricky Ponting did not hesitated to raise finger to give Ganguly out on the ground. Umpire meekly followed ponting. I think match fixing is a passe and looks like we are heading for something more spicy.

Ponting with his burning eyes questioned the journalist if he was doubting his integrity with his pointing finger. Mr. Ponting I think you should check it out from your inner conscious. There are better ways and tactics to be admirable champion side.

[Happy] New Year Mumbai

NWell most of the mumbaikars are proud of the city. In fact the whole country is proud of financial capital of India. There is always a taste of arrogance when they talk about how safe Mumbai is specially for women. But from past few the data has revealed a considerable amount of increase in number of cases of eve teasing, rape etc. Mumbai woke up to a new year morning with a news of two young women being molested and manhandled by around 70 men in the heart of city outside Marriott Hotel. Last year the similar incident was repeated at Gateway Of India, Mumbai. Some desperate men did it again and continues to spoil the name of the country as well as Mumbai. Such incident shows that Mumbai is no exception. Women are not as safe as they are highlighted in Mumbai. I can see the arrogance fading away. This is no way to take Mumbai to Shanghai heights. Now I would like see what I am going to write on 3 Jan 2009. I know I am not going [hope] to write a similar post as I did on 3 Jan 2007 or this post .. something fresh for which we can feel good about and start 2009 on good note.

Happy New Year to all of you !
