  • KyleRayner, on 10/12/2007, -2/+65Apple.com has to be the Only site that people say good things about when it goes down. XD
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+36don't forget about the RIAA website ;)
  • johnjreiser, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31Minor Additions: 2-1
    iPod Updates: 3-1
    iPod Video: 10-1
    Mac Pro: 10-1
  • aquax, on 10/12/2007, -8/+35It's the new MacBooks with the "color changing palm rest" features.
  • jasonlich, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22And a much better tag line.
  • Diseage, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22down for maintenance? Yeah, in the middle of a work day, when sales are highest... not likely.

    If this was 1am, sure. But noon? no.
  • codethis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12not to mention the other one was submitted after this one
  • fluidfoundation, on 10/12/2007, -10/+21I KNOW WHAT IT IS!!
    Its the new Apple Space Heater!

    It heats the space on top of your lap to 200 degrees!
    I think it also has a built in computer.
  • dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16This is retarded. Apple's made no announcements and there's been little in the way of rumors for new speculated releases. The store could be down for maintenance!
  • longboarder543, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Looks like it was the iNothing
  • fudgebrown, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13just some new iPod Sock colors.
  • ndm007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9The Apple Store was down in order for the iSight and AirPort Extreme base station to be removed from the European stores, in order to complie with new regulations:

  • fluidfoundation, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Apple Store employees dont know what comes out before we do.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12Woodcrest was announced as available today by Intel. I bet it's the Mac Pro. Other than that though, look at the top bar - "iPod and iTunes" has changed to "Music". Cue "Movies" tab too?
  • joelhardi, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11What, no Final Countdown?

    Seriously, how lame is it for a major ecommerce site to go down every time there's a major change to the front page layout ... if it were Amazon and that happened, somebody would get fired. WebObjects used to cost hundreds of thousands, and now Apple's *giving* it away as part of Xcode, and they're the pretty much the only ones still eating this particular flavor of dog food.
  • getgreg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Somewhere Steve Jobs just yelled "PSYCH!!!!"
  • p3ngu1n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8It's back up - it's nothing.
  • dougmwpsu, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13i bet it's a new nano
  • MadFunk, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12Or, gosh. It could be a technical update. But, whatever, I'm crazy!
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+12Apple could fart and fanboys will stick their heads up for a whiff.
  • ventro, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7It's gonna be a new Xserve. Guaranteed!
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6store is up, nothing new
  • dusingaz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Airport express with video
  • danglerman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9You guys are a over-reacting. Just because Apple is updating their website (a very typical thing for a website to do) doesn't mean that Apple is releasing a BIG NEW product.
  • jmuchrisf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6You don't do technical updates in the middle of a shopping day on a site like apple.com
    if it were down for technical reasons, they wouldn't be good.

    more likely, it's product update.
  • TimmyGUNZ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5"Is it a coincidence that today is also the day that ZFS is to be released at Sun?"

    Yup
  • Scott2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I'm excited about whatever comes out, I just hope they get those commercials off of their frontpage. Its quite irritating to have to wait for my browser to catch up each time I visit the site. (
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Update:
    "Music" replaced "iPod + iTunes"
    :)
  • imatt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Probably a processor upgrade on something.
  • titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Remember how the 1 GB Nano came out? exactly.
  • cavicster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Maybe I should not open the Macbook that is sitting on my doorstep.
  • MrSpontaneous, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I think, if anything, itll be a new nano (larger capacity). The Mac Pros wont be announced till Conroe is released.
  • keithzd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4G6? dude, they are going to Intel, that means no more PowerMac G series
  • al28p, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Or perhaps an updated "ipod leather case"!
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The iPod + iTunes link is gone from the top (from the store). Maybe another hint for another iPod?
  • johnjreiser, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5TGMD, this is Humor. I believe you two haven't met.
  • brenthals, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4PowerPC iBooks & iMacs are gone
  • blocguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It doesn't necessarily mean that new _hardware_ is going to be released. It could simply be new commercial software. A similar thing happened with the update to Remote Desktop, everyone went crazy about it claiming new iPods etc. and were disappointed when they found out it was just a software update.
    Don't get your hopes up, I'm not holding my breath.
  • hman2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Back up--all I can see is that the Nike + iPod Sport Kit is now shipping, as it says 'Add to cart' versus previously 'Pre-order', I believe.
  • xntrk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3yeah i haven't found any changes, i was hoping they would drop the price of the black mac book :(
  • jmuchrisf, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4as I stated above. You don't do maintenance on a site like this in the middle of a day.
    unless something bad happened.

  • titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The Intel Mac Minis have had Core Duo and Solo since February.
  • joethesupercow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4it's up
  • Lutz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4dclowd9901: I bet you tell all the children there is no santa right before christmas...
  • Bitruder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I believe they were just pre-building that configuration to buy in store since it's a popular upgrade.
  • computermatt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4i care dumb idot
  • treblig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3disappointing...
  • 5m0k3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Have you considered checking the "New to the Store" section? http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/1134003/wo/Kr6hCq7fJx4u3DaZmp92bXFSkH1/13.0.19.1.0.8.61.0.6.1.0.1.1.1.1.0
  • 5m0k3, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Excellent idea. In fact, I would prefer you ship it to me unopened. Way to be thoughtful :)
  • samd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Back up. No changes?!
