OMG OMG Alarums and Excursions: The STORE is DOWN

As doth the store not respond
So doth our hearts leap in excitement.
Behold. The Store respondeth not.
Who knows what fearful Mac or iPod.
Apple has framed with its Ive-like symmetry.
For verily, it may be maintenance.
Update It's baaaaaaack. Nothing new to report.

I believe they added the "NEW" tags above the iPod Touch and the Apple TV, I don't remember seeing those there before.

If there's "nothing new to report" then why bother reporting? Seems kind of...pointless.

almost as pointless as commenting on a story about nothing happening.

I think it was an entertaining post.

Order tracking is still down, so it appears to be legitimate maintenance. (I was checking to see if my new Mac Pro with an Nvidia 8800 GT is any closer to shipping.)

Does a post need to be made every single time the Apple store goes down? Just wait until it goes back up and then post if there's any changes. If not, don't waste my time.

I wondered if for a minute Apple was going to stop disappointing us and release a subnote that doesn't completely suck.

I liked this post made me laugh a little, but what I think is more funny are the people who get angry at the person who posted the blog and claim they have wasted the readers time yet they spend more time by commenting on it with angry comments as if it was a way to get back at the writer haha.

i'm expecting a macbook pro refresh very soon - maybe not this week as the air still takes all the attention or due to some delivery delays on intel's part
i envisage a speedbumped mbp with updated chips, slightly better gfx card, new keyboard (like the air's) and a BTO ssd option

It seems to me that with all the refurb MBP's listed on the Apple refurb site that a revised MBP should be coming soon.
Looks to me like they're clearing out inventory for new revised stock.
Thoughts?
