World panics, children cry, workers sigh ... Facebook.com TITSUP

Bosses cheered worldwide as Facebook.com fell over once again, forcing people to put down their phones, close their private-browsing tabs, and do some work. Yes, even if it is Monday. It appears facebook.com is completely dead now, apart from a static error page, although it showed some signs of life for a few people earlier. …

And www.isitdownrightnow.com

Is down as well, to many people trying to see if facebook is down is my guess...

Unfortunately against the onslaught of fake productivity via Quantitative Easing, it won't even make a blip on Krugman's monitor.

Or at least there would be if Twitter was down at the same time.

That must explain why all the cats in the neighborhood are milling about and have the "lost" look in their eyes.

Anakata gets released from prison and imminently facebook goes tits down, coincidence?

[Destroy All Monsters]

I don't see what this has to do with Star Wars?

[chivo243]

@Destroy All Monsters

Not Star Wars, but the Force. I think the Force laughed...

And Anakata is one of the dudes for TPB, but I think you knew that?

Pro: programs would stay smaller, by virtue of the sheer effort of adding options.

or may be they'll just wait a little longer.

I for one, bow to our new fluid graph defeating overlords.
