It's Friday afternoon, and the online Apple Store is down

Well, this seems a little unexpected; it looks like the online Apple Store is down. Could we be seeing the new Mac mini, iMac or MacBook models that have been rumored to come out soon? When the store comes back up, we'll let you know of any changes.

What do you think could come when the store is back up? Let us know in the comments below!

UPDATE: It's back up, it looks like there's nothing new.

Counting down to WWDC: The store, as they say, is down



As the sands flow through the hourglass, so appears the yellow sticky. If you doubted that we would see some sort of new product today, well, time to get with the program.

C'mon back at 1pm ET for all the latest updates from the keynote.

Apple Store down on a Sunday?


Well, that's unusual. Price drops? New gear? Regular maintenance? We'll know soon enough.

Back up now... no visible changes reported and the main difference appears to be an enhanced UI for the shopping cart screen. Before & after pics below (thanks Joachim).

Old cart UI:

Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Love that yellow sticky note...

...for the downtime in the store means that the Black Friday discounts will soon be up in the US. We already know the rough scale of the savings -- modest, not dramatic -- so don't get too excited!

Thanks to everyone who sent this in. Now, go to bed and sleep off that load of turkey.

Change is coming... to the Apple Store



Sorry, couldn't resist. Yes, the Apple Store is down right now (apparently worldwide no, just US and Canada, sorry) despite Apple's denial of any new products before the holiday season. Chances are this is just routine maintenance, although it's definitely Tuesday... so we'll see.

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.

Australian Store is Down. Yellow Sticky held for Ransom. Panic in the Street

Widespread panic has ensued as the Australian Apple Store went down and its Yellow Sticky went missing. TUAW has received an anonymous ransom demand for the safe return of the sticky. This is apparently not a joke [1] . While we wait with bated breath -- both for word about the safe return of our yellow friend and for what the store update will bring -- let us know your predictions. Drop us a comment with your thoughts.

[1] For blog posting values of "joke". Please see usage, terms and rules for details about fake ransom notes and accompanying demands. Consult with a lawyer before paying ransoms. TUAW (and its assigns) is not an authorized kidnapper. For entertainment purposes only. Restrictions apply.

Apple store sing-along (The store is down)

To the "Battle Hymn of the Republic". And a one. And a two....

Mine eyes have seen the Yellow sticky note of Apple's store

It is stuck upon the Apple page that we know and adore

It reminds us that tomorrow is a Tuesday once again

And the down time goes marching on....

Chorus:

Glory, glory, Apple Store-ia

Glory, glory, Apple Store-ia

Glory, glory, Apple Store-ia

The sticky marches on...
