Windows Azure Cloud Outage

Hello,
I am shocked this has not been posted but the MS Azure Cloud has been suffering from an 8+ hour long outage. So much for no single points of failure

Feb 29th/Leap year issue?

Well the hardware has no single point of failure, but all the software is still the same on each section.

Yes. I have a Logitech MX 3200 and I always have the date + clock set correctly, I'm rather OCD about it! I woke up this morning and noticed that it's saying January 2nd. The time is right so I assume it's a bug related to the leap year.
