#74Noticed it was down for about 2 minutes, but up again. As with any big outage, I wonder how much money was lost in those 2 minutes...
OK, so in round numbers, Google makes roughly $65 billion in profit per quarter. Dividing by 90, is around $722 million per day, which is roughly $200,000 per second. 2 minutes is quite the expensive fuckup.
I'd use revenue instead of profit, since their expenses don't disappear just because the site is down.
If Google is walking down the street and stops to pick up a million dollar bill, it actually loses money.
