I'm not able to get on Amazon.com from work. Neither can my wife from home. I can't find any news of it on internet. Maybe it's some sort of local/regional problem? Can you get on Amazon?

I was just cursing at that website a few seconds before logging into TFP to check new posts... and this thread came up. Very weird... never seen Amazon down before!

I don't wanna know how much revenue they lost during the downtime.

ratbastid

Right now, I get: "Http/1.1 Service Unavailable".

Heads are ROLLING right now. You have any idea the revenue Amazon loses every second it's down??

Shauk

eh... so does this mean purchases in that time frame that were pending were dropped as well?

I love how everyone is "omg revenue"

still a far cry from the old days when they were on the verge of bankrupcy.

Lasereth

$520 per second, $31,000 per minute, that's net loss, not revenue loss

They're back up now.

I'll bet the Kindle that they're using as a web server crashed....

Weird. When I went to amazon and saw it wasn't working, it was quite hard for me to accept that something went wrong at amazon. It was easier for me to imagine some sort of fiber outage or some sort of dns mess up.

I wonder how I would feel if Google went down for a few hours.

That happened a couple of years ago. It was downright scary.
