eBay Down All Day
from the whoops dept
Remember a few years ago when eBay just stopped working? Well, if you thought they had fixed up all those problems, you were wrong. It turns out that eBay spent most of Sunday not working at all. When this happened a few years ago, eBay took great pains to blame Sun for the mess. I wonder who they’ll blame this time. Update: Apparently, not everything has been fixed. There have been more outages reported today.
