have lost sales. They are questioning the payment services'
reliability.

3. Opinion: Is the ASP.Net Bug a Big Deal? MS Thinks So

4. Opinion: Who Gets Through the 'Help Wanted' Door?
Should Web services requests eliminate all but the very
best? Google is a good example of innovative new ways
to find job applicants. But if Google needs so many people
to work on its to-do list, why is it putting so many
barriers in front of its "Help Wanted" portal?
