I guess you did not read the first bug. For over 8 months if you do a query and use ORDER BY the datastore will return a certain number of results for a given query if you drop the ORDER BY and run the same query you get a different number of results.

An eight month old Showstopper.

How about the last one. Google admits that the constant datastore timeouts are a major defect, but basically state that it is a problem that is inherent in the architecture. Acceptable?

The whole system is major Kludge. If you spent any time working with it you would realize that.

Their response is far from "instantaneous". Have you looked at the issue tracker lately?

Your using Google PR math try 6+ hours and this has not been the first issue. And for your "communication with users". Your joking right? Or would you like to post the phone number for the App Engine Support. Or how about the email address or a link for the ticketing system....

How can you modify your code to catch an undocumented previously unknown exception or modify your app at all if the whole system is down as it was? Yeah some engineer at Google posted this suggestion.... It was useless.

Guess you all missed that they are dropping the "free" bandwidth quota to 1GB and are limiting total downloads for free apps at 56 MByte/min and paid apps to 740 MByte/min

Here is more bad news stuffed at the very bottom of the announcement:

App Engine will always remain free to get started. However, along with many performance improvements, we have learned that we were overly conservative with our initial free quota estimates. Therefore, 90 days after February 24th, 2009, we will be reducing the free quota resources. We believe these new levels will continue to serve a reasonably efficient application around 5 million page views per month, completely free. The new quota levels, which will take effect on May 25th, 2009, are:

* CPU Time: 6.5 hours of CPU time per day
* Bandwidth: 1 Gigabyte of data transferred in and out of the application per day
* Stored Data & Email Recipients: these quotas will remain unchanged.

These changes may also affect the fixed quotas applied to applications without billing enabled.

I don't think that is the case ebay can't even return the correct items when you use the search box let alone return a targeted ad.

Here is the original thread in ebay's forum and there are a bunch of great comments:

Here are some more fun ads from ebay's homepage:
