|  #1 Posted on 26.7.09 2247.49 | Instant Rating: 5.75 | Archduke Ferdinand has been assassinated. Sleeper cells awaken. Our time is nigh! (metblogs) (and also read this at Techcrunch.)
If this goes all the way to its potential peak, when does the "real world" have to start worrying about how much of our life is dependent to the internet? Also, why would a publicly owned company decide to specifically poke at these people?
Edit: YES I get about 97% of my news from Twitter. Thx.

AT&T is claiming that there was a DDoS attack originating from one of 4chan IPs, and, hence, the reason for the block. [Ars Technica]
All I know is that, starting Friday, AT&T service has sucked-diddley-ucked - with dropped calls, text message failures, and a slew of other issues that have really made it difficult to use their service. I don't know if this was related or not, but things were particularly awful yesterday. I couldn't make a call out to save my life (not literally), and my girlfriend had four text messages arrive all at once - two of which were several hours old.
We all have ways of coping. I use sex and awesomeness. |
