CorporalKlinger writes “CNET News is reporting that Amazon’s US website,
Amazon.com, has been unreachable since 10:30 AM PDT today. As of posting,
visiting www.amazon.com produces an ‘Http/1.1 Service Unavailable’
message. According to CNET, “Based on last quarter’s revenue of $4.13
billion, a full-scale global outage would cost Amazon more than
[0]$31,000 per minute on average.” Some of Amazon’s international
websites still appear to be working, and some pages on the US Amazon.com
site load if accessed using HTTPS instead of HTTP.”
