Skype Crash....!!

Latest crash in the skype Service proved our vulnerability and reliance on high tech industry.
There were number of small to medium size companies with their communication system screeching to a dead silence because skype services were down. Other then those companies there were millions of users stranded with out one of the services they are accustomed to.

Quite strangely the reason Skype came up for meltdown was "too many users restarted their computer".... What ?? Doesn't it seem like some one making a story, though from their news release it looks like one of their software bug kind of got activated with this multi users restarts.
This event made me rethink how closely this information technology world is connected.


Fortunately skype is back on and now I can get all those annoying advertisements from unknown users.
