Not Web Site Maintenance & Outage for 8 Hours Must Be Under Attack http://www.websitesb.com/rants/netflix-down-what-the-hell-not-web-site-maintenance-outage-for-8-hours-must-be-under-attack/2009/07/13/ http://www.websitesb.com/rants/netflix-down-what-the-hell-not-web-site-maintenance-outage-for-8-hours-must-be-under-attack/2009/07/13/#comments Mon, 13 Jul 2009 04:46:03 +0000 admin http://www.websitesb.com/?p=694 What the Hell Netflix? The web site has been down for over 8 hours. It is not due to web site maintenance as initially reported. Netflix Director of Corporate Communications confirms it has nothing to do with maintenance. “It was an unanticipated, unplanned outage and we apologize to our customers.”

At this point and since Netflix refuses to communicate either via twitter, by their blog, or through other major web sites it must be under attack. In all likelihood it is a Denial of Service attack similar to that which affected several government web sites as well as media web sites last week.

Why else would Netflix refuse to communicate and offer only up the pitiful outage message for the last 8 hours:

Netflix Down

What are you doing!? Your browser is getting worse and worse. Why in the heck will FireFox not add an option to automatically display the newest version of a web page like Internet Explorer does. As a web developer I find myself constantly clicking refresh it is PISSING ME OFF!

If IE 8 is any good I am switching in an instant. I even use the Google Chrome Browser most of the time now!

What is worse Firefox randomly dies if you are using Vista and half the time kills off the internet until a restart. WTF Firefox?

I was actually expecting a rather large bill but I had to pay very little today. I guess it is due to the start of the new year and more funds available in my dental insurance account. I love that clean teeth feeling.

I have really been looking forward to Windows 7. Although Windows Vista is stable I just hate it. It seems like Windows 7 is everything Vista should have been but there have been problems and delays so far for the Beta.

You can do this easily in Internet Explorer. I am not sure why Firefox does not allow this. If Google Chrome ever builds this feature into its browser I am switching from Firefox forever.
