Surprise! The US online Apple Store is down
As expected, the US online Apple Store has become unavailable as it's prepped to sell this afternoon's post-keynote goodies. While you're waiting, why not take a last gander at the rumors, check out our photos from Macworld Expo or dust off your credit card in preparation for a new Mac mini?
To our readers outside the USA: is the online Apple Store down in your neck of the woods, too? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TUAW for our live coverage of the Phil Schiller keynote later today.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

Not to accuse Dave and the TUAW of being lazy (or perhaps preoccupied with other things this morning), but you guys do know that the status of other international stores is not some big secret and is as easy as switching the country from Apple's home page and clicking on the store. (But I guess throwing it to the readers makes it "participatory journalism".)

Yeah I guess they all know but so what? I was happy when I participated. It made me feel very special and see what you have done. You ruined my day. I am gonna lock myself up in my room and never come out.
