Top 5 reasons the Apple Store refresh is taking so long
Wow. This has been an especially long wait for the Apple Store to return. So here's TUAW's top reasons this is taking so long.Reason #5 (via @serpicolugnut at Twitter, updated via TUAW reader Zaph):The App Store reviewers are "reviewing" the new store. The current average wait is 14 days.
Reason #4: They might be done with their Time Machine backup by now...
Reason #3: Man, WebObjects is outdated technology...
Reason #2 (Courtesy of @verso via Twitter): Still waiting for the iPhone backups to finish...
And our top reason?...
Reason #1: Uh oh. Someone at Cupertino logged in as the Guest User!
We'll be here all week. Try the veal.

#5 is only partially correct, it is the App Store reviewers are "reviewing" the new store. The current average wait is 14 days.

Why is the TUAW story taking so long to appear? The pages for the new MacBook, Magic Mouse, and 21.5" and 27" iMacs are already available.
