Ted, The feds may have screwed up but it will be cleared up. Yeah, that was the same view I had with regard to the launches of Sim City and Diablo 3. The anger, IMO, was overblown, and the "h8rz" need to get a life. Launch issues are always temporary, and eventually they get cleared up. But that will never clear up the black mark that the piss-poor launches created. In this day and age of the Internet, launch issues should be foreseen and should be easily dealt with. Cloud computing takes care of server capacity issues. Many companies have launched new web sites, new products, and new shows with few to no launch issues. In other words, this is not a new problem. As for why the ObamaCare web sites ran into issues, hindsight is 20/20. There were some people who were sounding the warning bells months ago, but they were silenced, probably due to political reasons. Any delay in ObamaCare would be seized upon by Republicans as an excuse to obstruct or "repeal" it. Well now you see the result. Launch issues and embarrassment among the ObamaCare advocates like yourself. Fortunately for you, the headlines mostly focused on the government shutdown and not the problems with the ObamaCare web sites. But I believe this will just be the start of all the problems that will pop up thanks in part to ObamaCare. Why? Because Obama is behind it. Then it's Obama's fault that the web sites had launch issues to begin with. And it was Obama's responsibility to consult the experts, especially here in Silicon Valley where he'll find a LOT of intelligent sympathizers willing to help his one signature achievement become a success. Why didn't he? Because he is incompetent. No leadership whatsoever. No resourcefulness. Tenchusatsu
