Apple store is down for updates

Weird time to do it - when the weekend's kicking in across the world! And your call centres are more likely to be going to overflow, lesser trained staff... bizarre

Could be something boring like new credit card processing, new order database etc

I hope so but I doubt it.

G5 Powerbooks at last!





Just kidding

Something's up though, but this does seem a weird time for it.

OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY

IF THERE IS NOTHING NEW I WILL SHOOT MYSELF!

Apple Store eCoupons connection?

Who knows. I just got another Apple Store eCoupon today and it seems like I got my first one right before or right after the iPod mini was announced.... Lets hope it's a major revision!

Maybe it's some new discount, but I doubt it's anything significant at 7:00 PM on a Friday. Who'd notice (other than us dorks).

The UK apple store is down, too.

yeah, i doubt it's any kind of significant hardware update... probably some new discount or new 3rd party software announcements?

or maybe iTMS hit some milestone..? (edit: d'oh, didn't think through, why would that be on the store?)

They don't take down the store for that kind of update....

Well, it says they'll be back within an hour... I guess I'll find out when I get home since I'm leaving here pretty soon.

I'm mainly trying to avoid getting my hopes up. I hope it is something good! Let's get these updates rolling!

New displays? I sure hope so.

Nevermind. It seems to be back up and running

It's back up . . .

I don't see anything different.

probably added a new tune.

Yeah, it's back up now. Nothing seems different though. Certainly nothing major.

japan store is still down...

nothing seems to be new on the u.s.... though my browser is slow loading the right side bar.

Are the memory discounts different? I think they used to be slightly more than they are now. Now the max seems to be $630. Didn't it used to be $700?

That's it!!!??

Australian store is down and we didn't have that deal...?

japan store is back up. memory deal was not there, so nothing seems to have changed...

perhaps they re-organized the best sellers list or something...

Australia is back up. X-Serve piccy dominates...but no new deals or prices...damn, still overpriced

could it be

strange thing happened to me...............received an email from apple about panther training free to .mac users, before it loaded fully it disappeared

No trace in trash or any other folder, anyone else had this, could this be why sites were down, even though its not an apple store thingy. Anyone know whether panther training was available in .mac before tonite.
