On Friday, Gawker reported that YouTube and Facebook would simultaneously livestream BuzzFeed’s live interview with the President of the United States, which took place today at 2:50 p.m. But it turns out that only the former service was able to hold up their end of the bargain. As you can see in the video below,…
Donald Trump took questions at his Tuesday night press conference, but the real highlight of the evening was the sound of a panicked crew trying to figure out what was happening with the microphone.
The host of a Croatian TV program for kids suffered a scary-looking fall after she fainted on camera while introducing the show's topic of the day: Oxygen.
While recapping last nights Dancing With the Stars finale, the sound abruptly cut out and cut to a shot of the back of Miss Piggy's lifeless head. A flustered Tom Bergeron cut to commercial. This clip has not been edited.
Well here's your last (Hopefully!) technical difficulties update: According to a memo sent out tonight by our IT team, the recent Gawker Media server problems were the result of a DDOS attack against Consumerist. [Image via]
It always seems pretty pointless to put up a post on a website to say that that site's down. But to state the obvious: all Gawker Media sites are having really bad server problems today. It's not just you.
Technical difficulties in the Hamptons are troubling with Altarcations tonight. Phyllis is working on them!
Trapped office workers forced to run Internet Explorer, we are hearing you loud and clear: our new comments are not loading for you. The tech team is hard at work coming up with a fix.
Sorry: we're experiencing some tech problems, so you might encounter some errors loading pages.
The New York Times' Charlie Savage can write a whole book about The Presidency, but he can't figure out how to operate a lapel mic. This proves that New York Times people always think they're so smart, but they're not.
Staffers plucked from Obama's campaign operation, used to cutting-edge technology, are finding the White House to be a Mac-free technological museum. In other words, they're learning to work like the rest of America!
We apologize for the unscheduled break in your daily Defamer procrastination-enabling services, but apparently the Gawker Media server had been accidentally let go in the flurry of downsizings to recently befall our company. An intern has been dispatched to beg the large device to return to HQ, with a $0.07-an-hour…
As you may have noticed, we have been having some technical difficulties today. Photos have been disappearing indiscriminately from the home page and our video functionality has also been on the fritz. Granted, I'm not an IT person, but I am personally recommending that our hard-working tech team begins to…
As you may have noticed, we have been having some technical difficulties again this morning. Remember those prarie dogs we told you about? Well, in an embarrassing turn of events, we weren't able to get their Visas processed, so we were forced to once again to dip our toes into the difficult world of hamster…
In case you hadn't noticed, we've been experiencing some, um, challenges with the site for the last few days. The hamsters that power our servers have apparently been turned into coats by the Olsen Twins, and we are working our hardest to expedite the Visas of a pack of prairie dogs who have agreed to work for us on…
In case you hadn't noticed, Defamer spent some time under the knife of Dr. 90210 this weekend. While we are confident that you'll learn to love our freshly rejuvenated look, we realized that we may have removed some of our surgical bandages a bit too early. Specifically, we know that we're looking a bit shabby when…
We know that the last thing anyone wants to hear about is our technical problems (and yet here we go anyway!), but one of those internet outages that our service provider occasionally likes to surprise us with to keep us on our toes has forced us out in the world to find a connection. We should be up shortly, though…
By the time you read this, the problem will probably already have magically worked itself out, but we seem to be experiencing one our weekly Friday server meltdowns. Please bear with us until our Soviet-era equipment is switched out for slightly better machines obtained at a recent Kabul computer fair.
While we know that it does no one any real good to post notices about the technical difficulties that occasionally prevent us from serving your Grazerhead-related needs in a timely fashion, it nonetheless makes us feel better to let you know that a problem with the evil voodoo-box that holds our blog posts hostage…
