Yeah, stupid. The part that I find painful though is that there doesn't appear to be an alternate data center.
My current employer runs two data centers, although I'm not keen on them being quite so close together (about 50 miles). My prior employer had one in the greater DC area, the alternate in Montana.
It strikes me as spectacularly foolish that any online company would place all of their family jewels in a single data center, esp. one located on a former swamp inside a an earthquake zone.
