That's the sad thing, they just recorded a bloody profit again. I suppose that's the advantage of using multiple industries to float your company. Oh and the $40 Billion wouldn't be too bad either;)
I honestly don't think that they're losing yet, I mean they just bought Rare, plus the exclusive deals with PC game makers (e.g. Epic), their XBOX live service - let's face it they're spending $2 Billion on it. They're almost paying you to take them, and that's all they care about. They just want an installed user base which they can use.
Yeah we were affected last night aswell, little US traffic, i.e. we could get www.microsoft.com but not www.google.com where we all actually wanted to be:(
When our ISP was affected:

Hopefully this might fix their failing ADSL servers, which are jacking up the prices and enforcing the infamous 3gb cap, but this is Telstra and since the Government is trying to sell it off let again, it can only mean that it's more savings and price rises to attract buyers on the stock exchange.
Is there someone replying here who can actully spell properly?
The anti-Australia post here have been laughable, "Australia will sue Slashdot next!!" and posts about how Australians at an election are formed into mass groups and the people who cannot vote are executed on the spot. To those people: Get a clue. You don't know what happens here, you don't know our laws, you don't know how it is like to life here, so stop pretending that whatever country you live in is paridise and does not have any flaws, you're the type of people who believe those chain emails that say that Bill Gates will give $1 to some charity if you pass it on. And what about the person going on about how they lived in Australia before, and have moved to another country, and will "NEVER go back", because our laws are so constraining. What a joke. Unless you're a full-time criminal you wouldn't have much of an idea, and as for you having to flee Australia because of the laws there, that's a joke.

That's the point - It is mainly a PC inside, that's why it has so many oppertunities for modding, such as this Linux project on it now.
