Have updates ever been released on a Sunday?

Edit: Just looked through the buyers guide. An update has NEVER been done before (in recent Buyer's Guide history) on a weekend so don't get your hopes up.

Wahoo, hope this is some new product!!!!

I can confirm as a Brit, that the british store has gone down too

Fingers crossed!!!!

Sunday at 1:00 am? Likely to just be site maintenance.

"If I release it 2 days early, I'll have Apple freaks the world over ordering with irrational exuberance! Muahaha!"

As I said in another thread, just because they have never done a weekend release, what is stopping them from trying to see if it will actually be better for them.

Sunday morning is their normal maintenance window. But tossing in a little update or two for a change would be fun

Is it normal for only the store section of the site to be down? Doesn't this point to....well, you know?

Yes it's normal - it's just maintenance. I hope..

That sounds ominous. Maybe it will return as the Intel Store?

Hate to burst your bubble.. but it was "first seen" earlier than this thread was started... sigh, I'm still hoping though.

If you hear chimes from Safari when you hit refresh, you know it's all over!

But thats even better, the one hour will be over sooner. Or else I will sue. Apple has 7minutes.

First seen posted 8:11pm NZT, time now 9:04NZT

zach · Jul 24, 2005

man, the sun's risin and i'm still sitting here pressing refresh...

zach · Jul 24, 2005

*gasp*

it's been more than an hour.

i motion we file a suit against apple for... uhm...

pknz · Jul 24, 2005

Yep, now 9:14. 3 minutes over the hour. Time to call the lawyer and file a complain about misrepresentation and false advertising.

The way I see it, IBM must be behind it as it is another of those 3GHz myths.

Chundles · Jul 24, 2005

Nah, Motorola told them it'd be about an hour three hours ago.

barneygumble · Jul 24, 2005

Oz is dowm, i smell something new or preparing for tuesday

pknz · Jul 24, 2005

Haha.

Although I must say its quite a nice Vista of the Apple Store with the yellow post it note. It really brings clarity to the world so you can focus on what matters to you.

itgoesbuzz · Jul 24, 2005

Haha, you're staying up just to see what's happening?

I'd laugh so hard if it were down for a day or two (although that would NEVER EVER HAPPEN EVER, it'd be funny to see a mac geek sitting next to the computer, constantly refreshing. Bloodshot eyes, coffee, in your bathrobe.. haha)
