Again, I think you are reading into this. Routine maintenance, testing, etc. explains it. Go with the simplest explanation first.

Has been down all night and in the past few weeks has been down hours at a time. You may be right, but that's a lot of down time for maintenance and testing. |

I work for a large internet service provider. There are all sorts of reasons that could explain why a web site is unstable (i.e. up and down a lot). First, let's understand a little bit about mannkindtechnologies.com. We can look at the site and learns some things. We see an ".aspx" extension on various pages (e.g. "AdvancedDevelopmentTechnology.aspx"). This tells us the site is running on Windows .NET architecture. We can go to www.dnsstuff.com and find out some things about the domain itself: www.dnsstuff.com/tools#whois|type=domain&&value=mannkindtechnologies.comHere we can see who owns the domain name, where it is registered, etc. We can use a ping command to translate the domain name to an IP address- in this case: 208.88.130.27. We can again use dnsstuff.com to learn some things about this address: www.dnsstuff.com/tools#ipInformation|type=ipv4&&value=208.88.130.27Here we see the IP is probably hosted in Illinois by someone called latisys-chicago llc or WebSolutions Technology. If we Google WebSolutions Technology, we get www.wsol.com/. WSOL or WebSolutions Technology looks to be a web site design and hosting company located in IL. This all fits. Is any of this useful? Probably not so much, but I'm sure folks looking for conspiracies can find something in here to keep busy with. Explanations I'd offer as possibilities: -The design/hosting company is having some technical problems. -Perhaps the IIS web server running the site is unstable. -Perhaps they are making changes to the site content and not being careful. -Perhaps someone hates MNKD and is running DDOS attacks to bring the site down. -Perhaps someone hates some other site at the same hosting facility and is running DDOS attacks and MNKD is collateral damage. End of the day, there are many, many reasons the site could be up and down. |

The site is back up. Is this language the same at the top of the page?

The website is simply not a mission critical part of their business. They may not even discover that something is broken until long after it happens. There are a myriad of things that can cause websites to go down. If you're Yahoo you find out about it in 2 seconds because that's about how long it takes the fact that your site is down to be tweeted around the world by angry users. Mannkind likely has very low web traffic. It may take a while to have it reported. They probably don't even have an elaborate process to deal with such things if it happens after hours... because it's not critical.
I was at a trade show this year and trying to show a customer something on my own website only to discover that it was down. Have no idea how long it had been... and we probably have more traffic to our site than Mannkind does. Other than obsessive shareholders, who would go there more than once a quarter for their earnings?

They definitely don't see the website's investor information as critical. Events list up to 2010 only? Come on! Really? To me, it indicates that keeping their website current is not too important to them. |

To me, it indicates that keeping their website current is not too important to them. I can easily imagine that as staff got cut after the CRL, things like website fell into the less important category. Now, it is likely still lower on the list compared to the huge amount of effort that must be ongoing related to manufacturing and putting in place sales/marketing plans with Sanofi. Simple fact is that nothing on their website really has a significant role in assuring the success of Afrezza, which I assume we all hope is nearly a single minded focus for them. |
