Its early morning in these Pacific time zones, I'm thinking its just some kind of store maintenance.

its 11:30pm tuesday here in brisbane, australia. but close enough. might head to bed and see the updates tomorrow.. like xmas
 
this has probably been asked many times throughout the pages of this thread. but for the sake of not having to go thru it all again. how long to the online stores stay down for typically in this type of event?
 
One thing is for certain, within the next hour or so theres either going to be

1) Alot of very excited people if the US and UK stores follow suit

OR

2) Alot of very peed off people when all the Asian stores are put back up with no new iMacs

Heck, if Apple were to release an entirely new series of super-thin, super-light, super-battery-life laptops and a new super thin octo-core iMac and a new headless Mac and a Mac tablet and a new Apple TV, and a new iPod touch with a camera, and all at half-price, you'd still get (1) a lot of very excited people and (2) a lot of very peed off people.

MacRumors is a very fickle bunch.

depends.... can be as long as a whole day before, but that is generally for maintenance!
 
The Black Mac

Should Apple release a Clarksfield based iMac tomorrow, I likely will upgrade my 2007 version. I really want a black backlit keyboard w/ a multi-touch pad or mouse though.


What is it about black migrating to the Mac? Why would you want a black Apple keyboard? Black is such an eyesore in a nice room. Every computer in the nation has black hardware. Why not just get a Dell keyboard? One thing that has always been refreshing and beautiful about Apple's products is the fact that the hardware sports neutral tones, like grey and white (which complement eachother wonderfully).
 
im not particually bothered what they update as i've recently (in the past 2 months) purchased a macbook pro 13 and it handles more that i ever need to...

I just like all the hype before an update
