Yeah, yeah, we know. The US store is DOWN

Once again, our breath abates as the Yellow Sticky Note of Undetermined but Certain Excitement has returned once more. The store is down. We do not, however, know why. Once again, we thank all of you who have written in. As usual, at this time of night, it's probably periodic maintenance--it happens--but if something big shows up, let us know. We love to hear from you, even when it's just a quick "OMG OMG THE STORE IS DOWN" note.

I don't get it. Why is everyone talking about the "iPhone Nano" When the natural next step iPhone would of course be "iPhone Mini" ??
Or do you folks have inside information ? :)

Looks like they've given the Macbooks new graphics and some graphical menu changes but no new products.

I assume no one believes the store has to be taken down for several hours for technical reasons just to add a product? It's a marketing gimmick, right? I mean no customer of mine would accept it if I told them "yeah, in order to add a product, the whole store has to be taken down, globally, for several hours".

Is WebObjects really such a shitty framework that they need to take the god damn site down every time they update it? That's embarassing.

@moulles (#15): From my experience, WebObjects, because of EOF, does NOT have to be taken down for updating, because I presume that they are only updating the SQL database (Oracle, Sybase, MySQL, PostgreSQL, OpenBase, etc.). However, this experience only counts for version 4.5.1 and below, while Apple uses version 5.x. Also, they could be upgrading the version(s) of WebObjects to the latest 5.4, and upgrading the server(s) to Leopard, but they might have already done that.

Taking the store down is part of the excitement/experience. It obviously works!

I may have missed it, but maybe the update is that the Macbook now supports 4GB of memory.
