The US online Apple Store is down. It IS a Tuesday after all... What's the scoop?

It's Tuesday in Cupertino right now. Just sayin'.

They typically announce new products during the day... not an hour or two from the end of the day. For a Tuesday release, the store would be down very early Tuesday morning, not Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.

I don't dispute that. Just that it's Wednesday.

Surely, but you are not where Apple is. They always list events in PST or PDT. Just sayin'.

I see, so by maintenance you mean product release?

(I'm hoping for the inclusion of refurbished 2011 15" MacBook Pros!)
 
You're being deliberately obtuse. You've been around long enough to know refurb models aren't "released" like new models and the store being down for maintenance has nothing to do with availability of refurb models, which are posted to the site several times a day with no downtime.

The way I understand a WebObjects-based store working is that when products are in the store database, their stock state can be in-stock or out-of-stock, and being out-of-stock would cause the product to disappear. However, if a product has not yet been added to the database, the store must be brought down for maintenance. It can be added with 0 stock to be "revealed" at a later date, but it still must be added.
I am hoping that that is what is happening now.

Where the heck did you hear that adding products to a webobjects store requires down time? New content and site architecture maybe, but adding a product?

Hey be good! :D

I was awake last night while the Apple site was down and I began to envision a refresh for a certain workstation. Well, it is wishful thinking! :)

GGJstudios was the first to blow the whistle that it was normal maintenance. Sometimes I am unhappy when he is right. :)
