R4i SDHC,Spy Gadgets and Acekard 2i

If anything, 2010 was the year when our reliance on web services went through the roof. Whether it was social networking on iPad parts Facebook, calling our friends on Skype or remixing content on Tumblr, we spent an inordinate amount of time on the Internet. And just as our usage went up, so did our expectations of uptime and reliability of these services.

 

Nevertheless, as the recent Skype outage has shown, Internet-based services have a way of going down. Folks from AlertSite and Pingdom, two web-monitoring services, have put together a list of Internet outages that went down in 2010. I added some of my own to the list. Here is a summary of what I think were the top outages, followed by a small poll for you to pick the biggest Acekard 2i web outage of 2010.

 

Facebook. Outage started on Sept. 22 and ended on Sept. 23, 2010.  Service went down for about a third of the Facebook subscribers on day one, and nearly 66 percent on day two. Cause: Third party network provider. Facebook had a major outage in April 2010 as well.

 

Twitter. It’s the most crash-prone social service out there, thanks partly to its communication underpinnings. Twitter crashed in Jan. 2010 in the wake of Haiti earthquake, then later during the World Cup in June 2010.

 

Skype. On Dec. 22 and 23, the Internet telephony service went on the blink for millions of users. The cause was described as some errant Windows-based Buy android tablet supernodes, but the real cause is still unknown.

 

Tumblr. The New York-based blogging service was offline for nearly 24 hours and most of its users were offline in early December. Tumblr described it as a database cluster failing during maintenance.

 

Gmail. Google’s email service had a rough 2010. It was offline for about 2.5 hours, and the outage impacted many users in Feb. 2010. It went down again in March 2010 for 36 hours, and in Sept. 2010, routing issues caused the service to go on the blink.

Foursquare. Down for 11 hours on Oct. 5 because of database problems. It crashed again on Oct. 6 for about six hours.

PayPal. In Oct. 2010, PayPal went on the blink for Spy gadgets about 4.5 hours, again due to networking problems.

Bonus Mention: Wordpress.com. The hosted blogging service went down for 110 minutes in Feb. 2010 due to networking configuration problems. It took down a majority of the blogging world for a few hours.

The basic premise behind the paper is pretty uncontroversial: at several points in the past, the Sahara has been humid enough to support abundant wildlife. These periods have been captured in everything from the fossil record to rock art left by humans during the most recent humid period. However, the potential for extensive human migrations across the Sahara during these times has been difficult to ascertain, leaving the Nile basin, which has remained a constant through various periods of climate change, as a potentially more appealing option.

 

The authors of the new paper, however, argue that the R4i SDHC Nile has been a relatively minor contributor to the distribution of species in North Africa.
