Can anyone get onto amazon.com?

[aristobrat]

I get "Http/1.1 Service Unavailable" when I try to goto http://www.amazon.com

Trying to figure out of it's a me thing or a bigger problem that I don't have to worry about.

Same for me. Don't sweat it.

 

[Peace]

Works fine for me.

Works fine for me.

Really? Are you sure it's not a cached copy?

I'm getting it too. Bet it looks like a swarm of ants over there!

Anyone care to chime in on how much money they're losing by the second?

Same error here. They never go down..

30 sec. later okay...

edit -
back down now...

 

[Peace]

hmmm.Maybe it was a cached copy because it's showing Http/1.1 Service Unavailable now.

I can see the tech guys there sweating.

Back up now

Nope, still down. Has been this way for over an hour.

With WWDC coming up in a few days, there's just got to be some correlation. First .Mac email goes down, now Amazon?

Apparently it's down right now, there is a 5 page thread on it on another forum I frequent.

Wow, yeah it's dead alright. Wonder what's going on...

I am getting in ok.... I cleared out my cache so I know it is a clean version. It is asking me to sign in etc........ Although it took a while for it to come up. Much longer then normal.

Consumerist.com has a story on it. www.amazon.com does not work for me, btw.

 

[redwarrior]

yep, came up for me

 

[jb60606]

didn't work the first time. Worked 2 minutes later. Good thing too, because I was getting ready to invest in 300 cans of spam and a bomb shelter.

EDIT: Now I can still get there, but can't search for anything

They've been up and down for me today too...

I'd much rather see this happen to eBay than Amazon.
