"While you wait to activate your iPhone, why not check out our iPhone page to find out all the cool stuff you could be doing with your iPhone.. if you could activate it."

You guys really should get a "NOT iPhone" page, so those that don't give a shit don't have to wade through all the posts about it.

And before you say "if you don't want to read it, skip it", I have. More often than not, of late, the message I skip to is about the iPhone.

As a matter of "following up": As of about 2am EST the activation service had been "back on" and was working. So waiting until the next day, as the Apple Support person said to do, was unnecessary if you were willing to stay up all night. ;-)

Hmm.. I suspect a number of hackers are pissed off at Apple after Apple locked down the iPhone. Apple might as well painted a big red sign on its corporate headquarters saying "Come and get me"...

I would not be surprised that the hackers are launching Denial of Service Attacks (DOS) against the iPhone activation server and the Apple store. But we may never know since companies rarely admit that a DOS attack was launched against it.

Annoying hackers may cost apple more $$ in the long run...

Could this be an upgrade to get business accounts to work with the iPhone?

lawl

did no one get the joke?

@Tom,
I had the same issue with finding that little bitty link.

I posted on a message and then got a personal email from one of the TUAW guys. As a web designer, focusing on User experience, I can vouch that it's difficult to see/find, but after you find it once, you book mark it!

VanillaSpice: Yeah well, I couldn't have found it unless you said where to look. "Contact us" and "Send us news tips" should really be put as big links near the logotype or something. Weblogs Inc is really user unfriendly

I noticed that the iTS was stalling today. Couldn't remove items from the cart for 30 minutes, and because of that, I got the free American Dad episode 3 times.
And lately, the season passes are going out too late, too.
Is something wrong in Apple Land?

Errr .... and now I see that you saw it already and have to work out how I didn't see that you saw. Sorry.
