Apple Stores officially closed

I just visited as many online apple stores as i could think of. They're ALL closed. Question: is this good, or bad?

It's a wireless technology. The technology itself exists several years allready, but it's only now that products really start to come with bluetooth, like ericsson cell phones with wireless headphones.

He _could_ use it for a wireless 23" cinema display, but i don't think so...

From Macworld poster in tokyo

"Apparently the prices of LCD screens have gone up 25% and the price of RAM has gone up 200%. He is
saying that they are raising the price of the imac!!
Looks like a price raise $100, $150, $200 on the three models. Unbelievable! "

NOOOOOO.......not good, not good, I hope prices get back to where they were earlier today soon...

ON a high note apparently you can sync a palm in OSX wirelessly (is that a word?)

Well, it's here. Now we just wait for the iPod (and hopefully a "One more thing", such as a just kidding about the price increases)

What a crappy expo.. price increases on the imacs and a more expensive iPod.. just what we all need.. It should've been 5gig $299.. and 10 for $399.. considering apple claims they are selling like crazy?/ I dunno, smells like a major ripoff to me.
