When you're Google, yes, the company works 7 days a week.  Individuals
don't, obviously, but as an entity it's moving all the time with operations
folks and the like.  Market Publishing is a production system used by a very
large number of people, so I would imagine that someone was indeed working
on it over the weekend, whether we hear about it or not.

I know the scale is completely different, but imagine if Search was having
issues over the weekend.  You think they'd wait until Monday to fix it?
