Facebook outage causes key features to be disabled

Facebook has apologized for a service disruption that briefly prevented users from posting to the social networking site Monday morning.
A Facebook spokesperson told CTVNews.ca that the outage was short-lived. By late Monday morning the website was back up and running.
"Earlier this morning, while performing some network maintenance, we experienced an issue that prevented some users from posting to Facebook for a brief period of time," the spokesperson said in a statement. "We resolved the issue quickly, and we are now back to 100 per cent. We're sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused."

Users were able to log into the social networking site Monday morning, but could not post status updates, comments, photos or send messages.
Instead users received an error message urging them to “try again in a few minutes.”
As one of the most popular and recognizable websites on the Internet, Facebook attracts significant traffic. In June, the website boasted 699 million daily active users, and 1.15 billion monthly active users.
Founded in 2004 by chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook today employs more than 5,000 people.
Without Facebook, social media users turned to another source, micro-blogging site Twitter, to make light of the service disruption:

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
