I just read that PR from EBAY on the outage last Friday.

go2net.newsalert.com

First paragraph, they make sure to say that the source of the trouble was SUNW software.

That is so bush league! This company cannot be responsible for its own screwups? Somebody, some human being at EBAY, was responsible for that outage, that's what my guess is.

And in a later press release, we learn that they won't rest until it never happens again, but if it does happen again, it won't be so bad they hope and thank you for your support.

Right.

I think that stock will come down another 50 or 60 points.
