Crackberry Outages

San Francisco Chronicle:

The company that makes the ubiquitous, addictive BlackBerry smart phones said Tuesday it was still looking into what caused the second widespread service disruption in less than a year.  Research in Motion Ltd. said customers in the United States and Canada "experienced intermittent delays" for about three hours Monday...

During which time, RIM's 12 million users worldwide went ape sh*t.    

"Everyone's in crisis because they're all picking away at their BlackBerrys and nothing's happening," Garth Turner, a member of the Canadian Parliament, said during a caucus meeting. "It's almost like cutting the phone cables or a total collapse in telegraph lines a century ago. It just isolates people in a way that's quite phenomenal."

 Just like when they're working.
