I may end up downvoted to hell but what's the point of this being classified as "news"?

EDIT: I want to add that I believe a good course of action would have been filing a report[1]. I just find this entry too conceited. That's all.

To quote Schneier: »When something is in the news, it is, by definition, something that almost never happens.« – which seems to fit here.

It's because things are so reliable now, that, when they don't work for five minutes, everybody flocks to see "the time you couldn't download Google Chrome".

If you actually read the article (and view the source of the Chrome download page), you'll see that it's a JavaScript error. Speaks to the wisdom of building an entire page up on JavaScript (something pretty much every site in the Google ecosystem relies upon). Uncaught errors tend to render things useless, whereas straight up HTML is quite useable with a broken link or three.
