Apple Store is down, apologies to Julie Andrews
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittensMac mini refreshes
And warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages from Fedex on wing
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp Apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and iMacs with noodles
MacBooks and Pros, Apple logos that sing
These are a few of my favorite things
When the store goes down
When the anticipation builds
When I'm waiting in iTunes
I simply remember my favorite things
And what I will buy... real soon!

Wow, that's a nice poetic composition from apple! But I think some apple app developers will be more than happy now. iFog app developers have just registered an all-time high sales on their apple app creation because of T-Mobile video advertisement.
Quite unusual right? It was also equally funny and entertaining. See all details in this report.

You mean you don't like the scroll ball that doesn't scroll?

Julie Andrews? You should be apologizing to Rodgers and Hammerstein!

Please refrain from Christmas references until after Halloween at least... dam commercialism...
My interest is peaked on the new mouse, I'm tired of cleaning my ball...

Christmas? What? Have you ever seen the sound of music? It is not a Christmas Movie.
Archion said 10:19AM on 10-20-2009
I was just thinking that as I read through it again, The Sound of Music was one of my father's favorites. The song is still strongly associated with the holiday season.
James said 10:28AM on 10-20-2009
Yeah now that I think about it the song is on Christmas music CD's, I just haven't listened to any (christmas music) for a decade.

From what I understand, there are many Might Mouse users who are tired of cleaning their balls.

The Macworld UK website just reported that the Apple Store is down.
Do you guys have someone sitting there, refreshing the Apple Store just to see if it's taken offline?

I want an Apple version of the Microsoft Trackball explorer which has the trackball under your fingers and the buttons and wheel under your thumb. Best trackball I ever used, if they could improve on that I'd buy a couple.

the microsoft one will work fine with your mac. And there are many other Trackballs out there. I wouldn't expect one from Apple as they just don't match Apple's Style and innovation.
Thomas said 10:29AM on 10-20-2009
I know it works fine, I have one, it's my second and I have a third I bought off eBay since they're no longer made, but if Apple made something that worked as well I'd get one.
