Is this a joke? Apple hasn't even updated their site yet. Aperture 2 is still for sale.

Nice find! Now where is the 64-bit version of Final Cut Studio?

I hope its true, I was about to dump it for Lightroom...

Down for 3 hours only to release Aperture 3 ? Speechless

Almost certainly, its what arrandale uses. A Much better version though, pretty much on par with the 9400m.

from the preliminary tests I've seen, it's not on par with the 9400M

I don't think I can possibly stress enough just how little people refreshing a page every minute or so affects such a high-throughput site.

Hitting refresh just requests a newer version of the page from the server. It does not necessarily reload all data from the site again.

Shall I create a new post

The site is legit so I assume that is an actual Apple press release.

the Store is still down, so maybe it's not only Aperture 3

They maybe doing maintenance as well?

 

[Mackan]

Question is, will they have switchable graphics this time as well?

 

[Chaos123x]

Maybe it will be new MBP and new Mac Pro Deskstops with 64-bit versions of all the pro-apps with iPad Preordering!

I'm dreaming.

I think everbody here knows that and it was just a joke.
However there are websites that could suffer from something like that. See here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot_effect
It's also called "heise-DoS" in Germany because of the popular German IT-Newsticker heise.de.

But that certainly doesn't apply to a website like store.apple.com.

I'm aware of the concept - wasn't sure whether the post was a joke, though, considering...others.

As you say, on a small site, sure. On the Apple Store? Not a chance

Hitting refresh just requests a newer version of the page from the server. It does not necessarily reload all data from the site again.

That's...er...nice?

i'm sure there will be hardware announcements as well. it shouldn't be much longer, probably 15 minutes, 45 at the most.

I hope you're right. I'd love to pick up the new version. I've been holding out the past few months because of all the speculation, and it will be nice to finally have Aperture.

 

[iTampon]

preorder ipad or else

I think we are going to see new MBPs

 

[OutSpoken]

Have you ever heard about product hype ?

I can just imagine the apple lab geeks in their white coats awaiting the all important call from Steve and boardmembers, whom will be partying up with champagne and drunk girls...ready to go live and see the flow of money poor in with orders of new MBP's.

I'm getting bored now

Believe this website? Speechless.
I really hope this article is fake.

 

[Amnak]
