Akamai DNS Problem Takes Down Apple.com, Slows Major Sites

A problem with Akamai's DNS service slowed or took down major Web sites Monday afternoon, including Apple.com.

Sites including Best Buy, Apple's Web site and Web store, and PCMag.com, among others, were affected. Visitors to the affected sites were met with errors, although reloading the page tended to eventually bring up the desired content.
