This is pretty strange. Rackspace goes down and Justin Timberlake (amongst others) complains about it on Twitter. Kind of makes the sys admins feel all Hollywood.

Interestingly, I didn't notice our Rackspace Cloud (formerly called Mosso) setup being down which could mean that it wasn't affected. Then again, I was at the beach that day snorkling and complaining about frozen calamari so server outage was the last thing on my mind.
