Netflix's website and streaming service went down briefly on Tuesday, sending users into a near-panic. "An outage that affected many of the devices that stream Netflix in North America and South America started at about 3:40 p.m. Pacific on Tuesday, Feb. 3., with a lesser effect on devices in Europe. Service was restored to most Netflix members in under an hour," the company said in a statement. "Our engineers are still investigating the cause."
