he may be blog spam but bitstamp has been returning HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable.  Seems to be back up but very slow.

Coinbase.com also returned a few HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable today.

I would guess some minor Ddosing going on to drive the price down.

probably too many ppl trying to buy.

Bitstamp is currently down. We do not know if this is a problem with Bitstamp itself or if the site was eaten by dinosaurs, went into the future or if it had a bad hair day. Actually we don't know anything about it, but like to sound very serious. If you have any information please add your comment in the section below.

fixed.
Probably a DDOS, isn't it?

With the talk of DDoS:-

This is old, but if you haven't seen it , it's worth watching.

 Bitcoin related video fun. - Blame it on MT.GOX  - http://t.co/EFKDzVLYiH

Actually I was listening to that song on one of drops just after I got into Bitcoin.
Somehow it was quite soothing (and I didn't panicsell ), good old stuff ^^
