Apple Outlines Plan for Bringing Developer Center Back Online

Looking at how things have been going at Apple since Jobs' death, I doubt they had any kind of plans.
Oh, yeah, a company like Apple definitely has no plans of any kind (especially related to troubles and ones dealing with security too), specifically due to the fact that its founder had passed away.
You bring a very negative position which balances things out quite nicely. By singling out and attacking my posts with juvenile insults, it must provide you with the ego boost you seek. I'm glad I can contribute to your happiness.
Having plans is one thing. Executing them properly is a different action. I know from good authority that Steve had many plans written for Apple after his passing.
Issue is that the highest parts of Apple had other interests after the monarch was off the throne as in many wealthy organizations. Hence, the dropped beehive behavior after the Steve Jobs tribute in the center of The Loop was over.
Security is something else and I'm sure they'll have this handled in a way that will keep the intrusion types guessing for a long while.
Wishful thinking, I'm afraid. They said, "The latest betas . . . will once again be available." That doesn't mean there'll be a new one, just the "latest" one, which, right now, is beta 3.
I'm hoping beta 4 comes out soon, too, but I have a feeling it'll be next Monday.

Well, I get what you're saying, but it's pretty clear they didn't have a plan for what happened. Their response is to build a new system? That's pretty poor.
Don't think anything is really pretty clear. What they say in their updates doesn't really include full details so far--some details of what they are doing, but not how and what's underneath it all. Perhaps they had a new system that was set to go soon and this was a push to get it going rather than spending additional efforts in getting the old one patched up and going again, assuming it could even be patched up. Just because the resolution might be somewhat more drastic than some might think, doesn't mean that prior thought and planning wasn't involved.

Perhaps simple curiosity?
Just like in the past, once they betas stable they come less and less. Beta 3 is fairly stable and I wasn't expecting a new one for 3 - 4 weeks...
We all know Apple is secretive about a lot of things, so I don't think anyone could make a prediction what they have planned unless they say, "yea, we weren't prepared", which I doubt they'd ever do.
Why is the "offline" icon round but "online" icon square?
Color blind people? so if its square, they know its online?
I believe it was Apple themselves that took the website offline. Once they detected an unauthorized intrusion they wanted to see what the damage was and the best way to recover from it.
I'm colorblind and it helps!

well it has a key it the top corner to tell you what the shapes mean.
