  6. Google didn't cash 400,000 US$ during that time by astrab · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Google DNS Glitch Caused Outage
    According to gigaom.com, Google acknowledges having suffered a 'DNS blackout' for two hours (aprox) this past Saturday, and users couldn't access the search engine.

    During Q1 2005, Google cashed $657 million by showing sponsored links on search results. This means 300,000 US$ per hour. Taking into account that this issue happened on Saturday (less users), we can estimate the 'non-revenue' figure in 400,000 US$ aprox, without considering other non-working services like Google AdSense, which probably suffered problems during this time.

  7. EXACTLY WHY he got fired by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Google Fires Blogger?

    I think I figured out exactly why he got fired.

    On January 28th (the day he got fired) Mark Jen apparently ran an Adwords Campaign pointing to his blog.

    Besides the obvious problem of him promoting a story about life at Google, regular people cannot run an ad with the word GOOGLE in it.

    Keep in mind that he worked in the adsense divison. He may have overrode this requirement. Instant termination. What was he thinking?
