US Apple Store is down...

[yippy]

My guess is that there will be some minor product tweak, like maybe a new BTO option for the G5s or something.

That said, the sticky page looks different that what I remember. Last time I saw it it was one column and didn't have the cool flag bubbles. Is that new or am I slow?

On a Friday? I bet it's just maintenance.

I doubt it is scheduled maintenance such as backups. Either technical problems or they are updating products in the refurb stores would be my guess. When is Apple's end-of-year? Could it be a stock audit?

Maybe they are prepping for new products in ... 10 days, 23 hours and 5 minutes?

Someone has a widget counting to the stevenote, don't they?

Oy, imagine if the store really was down for 10 days. The world would implode.

Hmm... maybe a mini-Mac-mini... $300.. perfect replacement computer for my brother's dead iBook. (it's still mine technically, so I get all the money from parting it out.)

Obviously Apple is not selling all PPC for 1/2 price. But if they did, Apple has price matching. I purchased a refurbished iBook for $750. One week later they were selling the same iBook for $650. They refunded my credit card $100. All I had to do was call and request the refund.

Trust me, the sarcasm in that post was not lost on me. I was just playing along. but thanks for the heads up

I knew you heard the sarcasm. I was just giving you the info incase they dropped $100 or something.

Did anyone else notice that "iPod + iTunes" is now simply "Music"?

 

[mdavey]

Nice.

Okay, only 30 mins to wait! I love the way that Mac people whip themselves up into such a frenzy before each conference! Jeez it is only a store update!

No mine is still the same

That's ODD!!!

 

[monke]

Store is back online!

 

[AtHomeBoy_2000]

the store's back.

I notice no differances.

 

[bdesign7]

Mine says music too. Weird. All the other pages still say iPod + iTunes, but the We'll be back page says music

 

[grapes911]

I don't see a damn thing new. All-well.

 

[mduser63]

Store is back online!

OK, so who can figure out what changed first?

 

[Linam]

Back up and nothing new

The 'Free Shipping Overnight' ad?

Or the 'Top Rated Accessories' page?

Now it's back to 'iPod + iTunes'. Strange.

 

[katie ta achoo]

on the "we'll be back soon" page, iPod+iTunes was just "music" but now it's back to iPod+iTunes.
