Apr 18, 2007 -- Tech crashes cause stress for millions
Technology is great when it works. But what about when it doesnt. Three tech-crash incidents occurred in the past week alone, causing lots of high blood pressure among users. You probably heard about the Blackberry crash heard around the world that had folks on Wall Street in a tizzy. It was a huge deal in New York and D.C. and elsewhere around the world because people are basically addicted to these devices. Secondly, Vonage admitted this week that it may go under soon, which could affect millions whove switched to VOIP calling with this company. In technology, you have to be the smartest not the first. Lastly, TurboTax the largest electronic filing company in existence crashed on tax day. Christa, Clarks EP, could not file her taxes that night because of the crash. As a result, TurboTax users got two more days to file. Intuit, the company that makes TurboTax, went to the IRS and asked for a reprieve and it worked.
