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 ultimate irony of this post is that if the store comes back up and theres new products or there isn't , this post will be made redundant.

I don't reckon it'll be anything except maintenance. When there's an update, the Worldwide stores usually go off, followed by USA at the end.
As far as I can see, only the US store is down. Keep dreaming, fellas :-)
Umm... btw TUAW, you guys still need to realise that like it or lump it, you're an international blog, and still need to lose a bit of your USA focus ;-)

Perhaps they ought to have some redundancy in their system so they don't need to close shop...

Site back up and nothing obvious has changed. I was hoping for a quiet upgrade of the notebooks to core 2 duo's, but no luck.

I have seen this happen before prior to major new products....

US 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.

Why would the site go down for maintenance on a Tuesday... dubious.

Maybe they shut the store down just for giggles to see what rumors are generated on the fan sites.
