I suppose we'll see if they had proper back-ups. " Hah. The site says it was supposed to be back up as of ... 7:40 PST PM. Which was something like close to nine hours ago.

    I like Myspace. It's an easy way to connect with people I know, and a good way to meet people I don't. I don't really see why everyone bitches and moans about it the way they do. That said, anyone that uses Myspace on a regular basis can tell you that it's up and down like a yo-yo. So why is this news?

    Breaking news! Some stupid website for girls, high school kids, and pedophiles went down! Oh nos! I hope it stays down forever. It's a piece of trash website.

    Lol. The site is dreadfully written, obviously nobody who has studied usability has ever worked on it. It wouldn't surprise me if they don't have any backups or plan B. Tom is a cock.

    I don't understand where this is considered "stuff that matters" - I guess my myspace-addicted roomate will now expect me to entertain him, so I guess I'm kinda glad I got the warning, but this is pretty weak "news for nerds" - after all, aren't we all here for speculation about what apple is going to do next?
