WhatsApp service restored after brief outage
WhatsApp, launched in 2009, has 450 million users globally. 
LOS ANGELES: WhatsApp is starting to work again after the messaging app that Facebook is buying for $19 billion had some technical trouble.

Associated Press reporters noticed that the app wasn't functioning on Saturday starting at about noon PST, but by 2:30pm, Twitter users around the world began saying WhatsApp is working again.

WhatsApp and Facebook didn't respond to emails seeking comment, but the WhatsApp Status account on Twitter said service had been restored and apologized for the downtime.

Service outages are common for rapidly growing technology companies, and the WhatsApp Status account has tweeted about an outage about once a month going back through May.

WhatsApp, launched in 2009, has 450 million users globally. Facebook Inc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg predicts it will reach 1 billion in a few years.

CHENNAI: Foodbox, an automated restaurant which serves which serves everything from light tiffin to complete meal combo packs from leading restaurants, launched its operations in the city on Thursday.

Under this mechanism, customers get to choose their preferred restaurant along with their choice of food on easy-to-use touch screens and make payment using credit or debit cards, and food packages are served fresh and hot to him or her on a conveyer belt in 90 seconds.

One can also pay by cash to the staff at the counter who provides a Foodbox card to swipe and place an order.

The meals are packed at the partnering restaurants, transported to Foodbox and stored in a climate-controlled, automated system which heats the food just before serving. The automated system allows constant replenishment of food, based on stock and demand thereby minimising wastage.

"It took us three years to create and develop this idea as we understood the challenges faced in getting tasty and hygienic food while travelling or when in a hurry. Satish Chamyvelumani, founder and chief executive officer, Atchayam Business Solutions, said. The company is looking to install such automated delivery mechanism devices at airports, bus depots and railway stations and is in talks with the concerned authorities.

Restaurant chains such as Adyar Ananda Bhavan, Aasife and Brothers Biriyani, Moti Mahal, Amaravathi, Kaaraikudi and Mr Chows are associated with Foodbox currently.
