Earlier this week, some Google users lost all of their e-mails and contacts. Most people are very curious as to how Google lost and retreived all these e-mails so fast. The e-mails and contacts were said to be lost due to a glitch in Google's system. The strange part about this is that Google stores it's information in numerous places so a lot of people were unsure of how their e-mails and contacts could have completely disappeared. Google retreived these e-mails back quickly because they keep them all on tape.
