Amazon is Down! – No redundancy while the shopping giant suffers a major outage
That’s right kiddies!
Ask The Admin brought it to you first. Don’t go knocking on Amazon‘s door today. Nobody will answer.
Could it be that the Shopping GIANT of the net doesn’t even have server redundancy worked out right for itself?
Anybody out there know anything about this? Doesn’t Amazon offer hosting services as well?
Hit us in the comments people. Any speculations? DOS Attack?
You tell us…
Hit the comments, aaaaaaand begin!
(Edit they are back up at 3:05pm… Maybe all the Admin’s were out to lunch? Almost an hour down that has to cost some serious moolah!)
(Double Edit: 3:14 back down again…)
3:32 When you can get to the site we have a pretty little note posted…
And now Rumors are flying that it is PS3 related here and here… Anyone?
C64 (the one you used to play Bruce Lee on)

Oh yeah! anybody out there have any idea how much $$ Amazon stands to lose for an hour+ outage? Even better question, does anyone think this was done on purpose?

probably you and thousands of others. Keep us posted as to whether they were able to capture your transaction. They should formally apologize…

I was actually just about to buy Asus' new EEE 900 laptop – that's $549 that newegg will get now instead of Amazon, or TheTechGeek.com.

The CNN site says, “Several Dow Jones employees in various locations were unable to call up the site.”
What were those Down Jones employees doing trying to get onto Amazon on a Friday afternoon, hmmmmm?
