Apple web store down!

Why would it make front page? The site goes down frequently for minor maintenance. It could just be this again???? The front page would be full of articles saying 'Apple Store is down possible maintenance or new product?' Better of to wait until there is actual news of why the site is down. (I hope its Snow leopard too)
On a side note why is this in the iphone forum?
That just never gets old!
It's probably just regular server maintenance or something TBH.
Snap goes the dragon! All my macs feel snappier already! I can't wait until I get my hands on Quicktime X, I have been waiting since June for that particular feature! I can't believe Quicktime X is going to be a Snow leopard only feature. I see you are joining the ranks of Microsoft in forcing people to upgrade to their latest operating system just for a minor speed improvements and features.
It made front page when it went down for the iPod shuffle. I would think it is Pretty plausible that this is the downtime their adding Snow Leopard
Though now that I think of it, you 2 are probably right. Would make sense to wait until the news happens.

exactly what I was saying, well said Jessica. It goes down all the time would be pointless having it as front page news.
**ooo the mods have been busy merging threads. Must be a nightmare having to do it everytime something happens**
Perhaps but where was it front page news that the store was down for the shuffle? I don't recall ever seeing the store being down as being breaking news. What I could have seen is the store was down so the article would read along the lines of speculation about the release of a new product. That isn't exactly THE STORE IS DOWN OMGWTFBBQ!!one!!11!
Get it?
I could write something right now that says the store is down and the conclusion is speculation that SL will drop early as some users have reported their CCs being charged and others have found install discs inside their new machines. I mean, you can say all that, which focuses on the store being down in some weird way.

Yep, every now and again it just goes down and comes back up with (almost) nothing. Currently there are four threads on this topic...
But why be impatient? Does the store coming back up showing SL mean your DVD will be in the post any sooner? Or are you planning on going to the store to buy? Those who are waiting for their up-to-date in the mail or those who want to order online aren't going to get it today or tomorrow anyway. Those who want to go to the store, now that's another story.
No, it's the general excitement kicking in. I'm not ordering it anyway, I'm going into a store to get it.
Seems odd that it's been down for more than an hour just to add a product. You'd think they'd have something like that down pat.
Must be something bigger:
Takeover by Lenovo?
Adding new line of dish towels?
Going out of business sale?
Apple answers the FAA's questions, the FEC's questions and the FBI's questions?

No he wasn't. Their new dish towel lineup will come complete with a pre-installed version of Snow Leopard and a number keypad.
The worrying thing is, Apple would probably sell hundreds of thousands of tea towels if they put their logo on them....
Oh well, just checked out the Indian store and it's still open.. oh well probably false alarm
