WHOAH THERE IS QUITE SOME SELF ENTITLEMENT THERE. Microsoft revenue: $62B (though you should look at their internet division losses) Google revenue: $29B Apple revenue: $62B Wikimedia revenue: ??? Tech staffing and such is somewhat proportional :) Oh, by the way, I don't know where you look, but I somewhat missed communication about maintenance events ongoing in Google or Microsoft or Apple - you think they have none? Did you get lots of clarification why your gmail was unreachable? Did you get explanation/information why search index was outdated? Do they use site-wide sitenotices for that or what? > "Top 5 website" means we have that kind of use, perception, stature -- and a > similar scale of response within the general public if it suddenly doesn't > work. Most members of the public do not have the insight you or I would. *shrug*, would be interesting if anyone would actually explain policies of other website incident handling.
