Square goes down two weeks after Starbucks

Neither the API nor the frontend site are working for me.
Does it have anything to do with Starbucks? How do you know?
Probably has nothing to do with Starbucks. Just bad timing with a company that needs a lot of 9s of uptime.
One would hope the frontend page has NOTHING to do with payments.
Are both the main site and the API not functioning at the moment? This would be less of an issue if payments could still be processed during this time
I would prefer that a mod change the title to remove the implication that Starbucks caused the outage. If a user believes that Starbucks did cause the outage, or that the the temporal proximity of these two events is significant, I suggest a blog post explaining the significance.
"Square is down" is a perfectly acceptable title, IMO.

squareup.com is still up.
Edit: Apparently it was a cached page in my browser.
Square.com is now using squareup.com SSL certificate.
Does this mean Square, Inc. already acquired square.com?
Edit 2:
square.com automatically redirects to square.com
whois info still says that square.com owned by Square Enix.

And the website being down is different from the service not working. [Edit: the payment app doesn't work on my iPhone either. I guess I spoke too soon]
