What I'm about to say is definitely NOT IN ANY SENSE Schadenfreude, but...

I get really excited when amazing services we've come to take for granted goes down. I'd put places like Amazon, Netflix, Gmail, etc in this category. The reason? Well, I really really look forward to reading the post-mortems and getting a sneak-peek at the inner workings of said services.
