Change is coming... to the Apple Store

Sorry, couldn't resist. Yes, the Apple Store is down right now (
Update: Looks like it's the holiday window dressing and possibly some changes to the refurb section.
Thanks to all the night owls who sent this in.

I think they take the site down periodically to let us know changes are happening. Get some attention... Why else would they do this?

I can't think of a single other site that has to shutdown in order to make either minor or major updates. Hmm.
Is it my imagination or have they also raised the prices of refurbished MacBook Pros! Could it be that they are capitalizing on the fact that the previous generation's matte screen is a bit more popular than they thought?
A 15" 2.33Ghz that was listed well under $1300 yesterday is now at $1499!

The reorganized Special Deals page is really dreadful! How could anyone have imagined that this hodgepodge would be an improvement? What are they putting in the Kool-aid over there at Apple these days?
