Apple Store Down Ahead of iPhone 4 Pre-Orders

[byeehaaw]

I bet Steve Jobs is standing in his room naked right now infront of a big money counter that is linked to sales on the site. I bet then he does a naked happy dance of joy. lol

Steve doesn't make a lot of money from Apple Inc.'s success. The guy only draws $1 in salary a year as well.

What color?

God I been having nightmares from this phone. 1st time I ever want a freaking phone this bad(since the sidekick 3) but idk what color. My girl is getting the white 1 idk if I should get the white or black. **** man.

 

[sonofpismo]

i wonder why are they updating the store section but not iphone section

Your statement makes no sense.

 

[NikeTalk]

If they update at 12AM PST that's 3AM EST.

Have your girlfriend select the color of your phone.

It sounds like you need a lot of guidance, as though you are unable to make your own decisions.

I don't know about you, but normal West Coast folks are currently on Daylight Saving Time, not Standard Time.

Perhaps it's different in the People's Republic of Berkeley.

We (the folks across the Bay) are on PDT.

Get the black if she's getting the white; that's how you do it.

i think he makes most if not all of his money from disney/pixar

 

[Peace]

This would be funny if it's just a maintenance update. hehe.

 

[roknjohn]

att.com is down as well (wireless)

 

[KratosKilla]

Jobs makes a lot. Don't worry.

 

[foidulus]

They are such a tease

you know they are doing this just to torture those of us waiting for a new mac pro.

That's right. Steve probably rakes in $20-30 million a year in DIS dividends.

He doesn't need to work.

[jimtkm]

While this is true, is it common to still use EST instead of EDT due to naivety. Too many people are misinformed and do not know what it means so they are itching their heads wondering what EDT means when they see it so we use EST even though its incorrect.

A few hours, usually.

It takes a while for Apple to fill up all those moneybags that AAPL shareholders will trip over. That's what I see as a longtime AAPL shareholder.

The awesome thing is you can cash out just one share and get the 16Gig! - i'm keeping mine though

Making 9 million iphones in 3 months, assuming margin is $250 per unit and they sell them all, do the math!

 

[Anghammarad]

I find it interesting that the Swedish store is also down, even though no release date has yet been published for iPhone 4.

 

[Vin365]

Anyone think it will be back up within the next hour or should I just go to sleep? lol

Ha! That actually made me laugh out loud. Good one.
