Yeap, I believe they mentioned about $1 mil per hour revenue loss in the event of a downtime.

"Recent numbers from Intel indicate that the company takes in about $275,000 per hour over the Web. So the site wouldn't have to be down four hours to forfeit--or delay--a million dollars in sales... "That's an average," Manning said. "Sites like Amazon.com and eBay will lose a whole lot more than that."
