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.

WTF?!?!?11... News break I noticed that a full stop "." had been moved on one of the product descriptions.

That is soooo news worthy..... NOT!

Seriously... does anyone give a $#!+ every time the store goes down for maintenance?

There is now the option to ship the new MacPro's with 300gb 15000rpm SAS hard drives.

Is this new (like today) or just since the models were refreshed 2 weeks ago??

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?

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

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

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'm kind if interested to hear how exactly your time was wasted!

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.)
