--"why is UK store still up?"

Because you're too close to France...

[timmillwood]

--"why is UK store still up?"

Because you're too close to France...

would be better if we were further away but we are still the best country in the world!

Indeed, it seems that the France store is still up as well.

It would be cool if Apple did this to their real stores too, locking the doors and rolling down big yellow window shades.


Looks like it's an iPod product :mad: The iPod section inside iTunes is down too.

or if they had a massive yellow postit note they stuck on the store saying "We'll be back soon"

I agree, but isn't it hard enough going in there and trying to figure out which shiny, white thing is the new one?

The UK?!!!

I don't feel like getting banned soooo...

C'mon MacBooks!!!
*cough* prime minister is prez's lap dog even though prez is "no bueno" *cough*
C'mon vPods!!!

That's my secret hope, that there will be something -- anything -- that's round and maybe even a different hue. And no, textiles don't count!

[NiftyBritches]

The only think in there that's round and a different hue is the ball on a mighty mouse...

Perhaps they're intruducing Mighty Mouse socks today.

NEW!!!

Clamshell Core Duos in any color you want... as long as you only want white.

[Ish]

Might just be coincidence with what you found but half the internet seemed to be down this morning

[Abstract]

This can only mean one thing.......

....and a new product it ain't.

[sunfast]

C'mon MacBooks!!!

C'mon vPods!!!

I wish! But surely they are both too significant to be released covertly?

and at least Blair can speak english

Maybe the iTunes iPod link is down because it links to the store itself, which is now being updated? I dont think it necessarily means a new iPod product is on the way, but that indeed would be awesome.

[MacSA]

This can only mean one thing.......

...such as?

Well whatever it is it's US only, so probably something iTunes/Media related

[iMeowbot]

...such as?
They're closing up the store and going home to spite us all. That's why they released Boot Camp, it's a tantrum because Steve felt unappreciated.

Maybe the iTunes iPod link is down because it links to the store itself, which is now being updated? I dont think it necessarily means a new iPod product is on the way, but that indeed would be awesome.

The iTMS iPod section is a separate little deal with its own layout. There wouldn't be anything to change in there, unless the iPod line is being changed or some kind of Mac/iPod cross-promotion is starting.

[timmillwood]

The UK?!!!

the UK had the biggest empire ever

UK store is STILL up and US is Still down

[Queso]

Maybe they're going to sell Ubuntu branded Linux hardware :D

[Queso]

the UK had the biggest empire ever

Yeah, and we won the World Cup in 1966!!

Yawn, can't we concentrate on the present? I have a plan where we send all the chavs to live in the Hebrides until they come to their senses. What do you think?

[macgyver2]

They're releasing Remote Desktop 3 today.

[thefunkymunky]

Maybe their redesigning the store with fisher-price style graphics and Apple are going to start selling Windoze.:p

Apple(R) today announced Apple Remote Desktop(TM) 3, the third generation of Apple's award-winning desktop management software. Building on Mac OS(R) X version 10.4 "Tiger" innovations such as Spotlight(TM), Dashboard and Automator, Apple Remote Desktop 3 is a Universal application optimized to take advantage of the power of Intel-based Macs with more than 50 new features that deliver improvements in software distribution, asset management and remote assistance.

"With Apple Remote Desktop 3, we've delivered powerful innovations that make it even easier and more affordable to manage Macs," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "Great new features such as remote Spotlight searching and customized Automator actions take advantage of innovations in Tiger and make Apple Remote Desktop 3 a valuable tool for anyone managing more than one Mac."

Apple Remote Desktop 3 offers a wide range of high performance desktop management features including lightning-fast Spotlight searches across multiple Tiger systems; over 30 Automator actions for easily automating repetitive system administration tasks; a Dashboard Widget that provides quick and convenient observation of remote systems; and AutoInstall for installing software automatically on mobile systems when they return online.

Other new features in Apple Remote Desktop 3 include: -- System Status Indicators that let administrators quickly check the overall health of multiple systems at a glance; -- Power Copy files up to 11 times faster than with Apple Remote Desktop 2*; -- Remote Drag and Drop files and folders between local and remote computers; -- Remote Copy and Paste for simple transfer of text and images between local and remote computers; -- Persistent Task History and Task Templates to make it easy to save and replicate repetitive tasks; -- Curtain Mode to hide the desktop of a system while it is being controlled remotely; -- Application Usage and User History Reports to track software compliance and monitor the use of unauthorized applications; -- Smart Computer Lists for dynamically managing systems based on specified criteria; and -- AES 128-bit encryption for secure communications between Apple Remote Desktop 3 and clients. Pricing & Availability Apple Remote Desktop 3 is available immediately through The Apple Store(R) (www.apple.com), Apple's retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers for a suggested retail price of $299 (US) for managing up to 10 systems and $499 (US) for managing an unlimited number of systems. Special education pricing can be found at www.apple.com/education/store.

The administration and client system for Apple Remote Desktop 3 is designed to run on any computer running Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later. An Ethernet (recommended), IP over FireWire(R) or AirPort(R) network connection is required.
