They're probably losing millions right now because the website is down. (i went to target.com and found what i needed. going to target B&M tommorow to pick it up.)

How can a $50 billion company not be able to maintain their website while doing maintanence?

Sometimes websites go down, it's a fact of life..

Average WalMart customer probably doesn't have the interweb anyhow.

And their market cap is currently at $213b, so this mystical figure of "millions" is probably not going to hurt their bottom line much.

*some joke about how the chinese IT staff was eventually going to have to take a nap or something*

😛 Maybe when they're done with maintenance they can fix Anandtech search function.

I don't know of a retailer's website that isn't down after midnight on a regular basis. Bestbuy/Circuit City have theirs down constantly in the wee hours of the night.
