Are Amazon servers down? Errors..






Interesting. With Amazon UK I'm getting:

And with Amazon US, it's:

We're sorry!

I wonder what's up? (Quite apart from the fact that for UK customers they don't feel they need to say "Rest assured"! Are we considered more laid back, or something...?). Why are all of mighty Amazon's servers down or on strike?

Mad isn't it. It's been at least an hour or more now.

Wonder what on earth could bring down all amazon servers at once?

They're down in the US, too. Same message.

Well at least they're back up now... looks like it was a crash, but there doesn't seem to be much coverage about it.
