Apple's Online Store Gets More Social With Twitter and Facebook Links

Disapointed but will move on.
1. Apple discontinues their Xserve and other enterprise hardware. (Apple's solution; buy a Mac Mini or Mac Pro)
2. Final Cut X removing features pro's used for years (Apples solutions, use the old version).
3. Mac Pro and iPod Classic, 2 products that haven't been updated when they were suppose to. (Most Likely getting fazed out.....just like the white Macbook.)
4. Lion adding goofy features such as Resume.
It's very clear that Apple is caring less and less about their Pro customers; people that actually uses these products day in and day out to make money. It's clear to me that they are focusing on their consumer products. This is all fine and well, but Apple is going to lose their prestige with multimedia professionals. I think professionals could still use Adobe products on Macs, they are not very intensive and generally don't require high end specs, but Video and Audio recording engineers are sure going to be pissed off.
I haven't updated to Lion specifically because of the lack of support with professional software such as Pro Tools and issues with audio interfaces. Resume also seems like a major pain, even though you can turn it off, it still seems to be an annoyance.

Yes, those are for iTunes and the app store, not the company itself. I follow them all on Twitter and Facebook, but the company needs an official presence for the corporation, not just these products. Hey, they can hire me as their social media consultant if they need one! I haven't graduated yet, but I am working on an MBA with a concentration in marketing and social media marketing, I'll be looking for a job in a few years!

Porco, not only do you have an awesome avatar but a name, I love that film.
Nice to meet you and glad to know I'm not the only one who's getting an allergic reaction to all those pesky invading headlines everywhere.
It's the only reason I can see Apple agreeing to something like this.
FB and Twitter are becoming those annoying people you can't avoid.
Great, now burglars can find exactly the right Mac they are looking for before they break into your home.
Exactly! Sounds VERY DUMB!
hahahaha seriously, i know maybe 2 other people that would require a mac pro. besides that who would pay that much today for yesterdays technology
Maybe they're the next products to be updated, therefore
wants to test how people use the function?I would have to agree that it seems likely that these two products got this 'feature' since the pages are about to be removed from the store permanently. If they are about to be killed, why not experiment with them and humiliate the corpses?
(Of course, the pages could be removed either to kill both products or to have them both reborn quite dramatically. I'm betting on the former though).

iPod Classic and MacPro?
The next two products to be discontinued.....
If any products are to be discontinued, then yes, those two seem very very likely.
Click "Select" on a product in the store. "The page you're looking for cannot be found".
Update?
EDIT: It works again.

Can someone develop a plugin and remove those buttons ?

Ah quite likely he's dumping FCP because of FCP X, which isn't suited for professionals.
And honestly, who cares what Tundra Ball is really called (note the deliberate misspelling by me! oooh). It's not like anyone is using it (it's not even available on the Pro machine), so it has hardly earned enough fame for people to know how to spell it correctly.
Given Apple's penchant for strange names, Thunder Bold is as good as any (Mac Book Pro, Bonjour, iPad, Grand Central somethingorother, etc.)
