Tearing your hair out from the Gmail global breakdown? You’re not going to get any work down now, face it, so settle down instead with the lunchtime lowdown and catch up with all the news you might have missed whilst wondering how we all became so dependent on Google!

Let’s get it out of the way first: in case you’ve somehow missed it, Gmail has turned into Gfail, outing email access across the globe. We’re still waiting for it to come back online completely.

Now, what else happened? Plenty of phone news for a start: the stolen Windows Mobile 6.5 phone was wiped after being nicked, the Motorola Ruby VE1 returned from the dead, and we looked at how to make an iPhone app that’ll make you a millionnaire.

Elsewhere, Creative’s X-Fi technology turned up in an in-car entertainment system, and the special edition, blood red Xbox 360 Elite was confirmed.

Finally, if you’re prone to procrastination you probably shouldn’t join this, but Quake Live has opened for public beta today. Free Quake in your browser? Bid goodbye to your job!
