I got the following message while trying to get a stock quote on SI today: Quotes will not be available today. The satellite Galaxy 4 is spinning out of control and has been since 6pm last evening. The outage has caused pagers, NBC, ABC and other data vendors to lose contact with their data sources. We have been affected by this outage and it is beyond our control. We apologize for the inconvenience. May be they will need some Orbit/FR equipment to troubleshoot the problem :)
