If Facebook transitions to its new hardware and the hardware begins to crash and burn and users start getting affected, so will Facebook... there are competitors who would love to have Facebook's lunch. So reliability is pretty up-there for Facebook too.

- mrdodge 15y agoMajor stock exchanges have gone down for hours, I've had trouble reaching my bank's web site for hours. Let this myth of the enterprise having any idea of what its doing die. And Facebook could lose millions of dollars in that time span, depending on what time of the day the downtime occurs. They make money from advertising, down-time means no clicking and no eyeballs.
