I still don't know why people keep throwing this out there. Yes, if you were effected and it caused you to lose a lot of income because your business could not operate when EC2 was on the fritz then it's your fault, not Amazons. You can't keep blaming Amazon because you didn't build a fault-tolerant application. It's like blaming your electric company because your home is lit by one super huge flood light which burnt out and as a result you couldn't see or get any work done because you kept no backup bulbs in the house.
I think it's more like getting upset with your cable provider when their service goes down leaving you stranded with no internet. Arguably, it's your fault that you don't have any internet, you could have had redundant internet access between cable and DSL and you have no one else to blame for you decision to pay for only one.
