Server Hangup?

This has to be Yahoo! Frontpage's first downtime in over a decade. I know we're not supposed to be posting articles about sites being down but: wow. I worked at Yahoo, and I firmly believed that it was literally impossible, at the architectural level, for frontpage to be unavailable.

Maybe they're trying to reinvigorate their young & happening image in the Valley with an extended outage?

Checking to see if Yahoo is back up today is actually the first time I've intentionally gone to www.yahoo.com frontpage in...8 years.

The marquee sidebar ad below the "Trending Now" panel is blatantly empty. The ad that ran this morning took up half the page and then resized. Very intrusive.<p>Don't advertiser's normally pay for an entire day in that space?

Looks like a DNS issue.

The saddest part of Yahoo being down, is that it's hardly even news (at least for technical people).
