Apple Store down
The Apple Store (at least in the U.S.) is down. A quick check of newsfeeds shows that no one really knows why, as the only predictions are centering around September 12th, next Tuesday's special event. This is most likely a maintenance thing, but we'll let you know more as soon as we do.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in
UPDATE: Looks like there's nothing new in the store boys and girls; false alarm. Guess you'll just have to keep biting your nails for September 12th.
Disclaimer: TUAW neither encourages nor condones developing or continuing the habit of biting one's nails.

The card is 61% off and the base station is 41% off. No other refurbished product is marked off as much as these two items.

September 05 2006 at 10:29 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyUS Store is back, the only obvious thing is "New Prices" on the Cinema display but it may have been there before.
$699/$999 and $1999 for 20"/23"/30".
The French store was down as well and have the same reduced prices apparently.
I have seen this happen before prior to major new products....
Perhaps they ought to have some redundancy in their system so they don't need to close shop...
