- Kuth678, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Clearly not you... or maybe you do care... why would you have posted other wise?
Lets play a game... pick something you're excited about, and I'll go post "Who gives a f***" on a web site that you've posted on.
Go away troll. - krinn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Only Showtime? I was hoping we'd get HBO and Cinemax...
- Frankie4Fingers, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10This is like the 5th story on the iTunes and Apple announcement. Come on at least wait until something breaks on the story...
I bet then we will have like 10 people trying to post it at the same time. - The2ndAct, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9All the rumors will be over after the 1:00PM (EST) event.
All the rumors will be over for today that it. More will start tomorrow because that's how apple rumors work. - markcrules, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6All this hype and you can bet us UK iTunes users will be treated like second class citizens, getting movies so old they are on VHS or having to wait a month or two for our movies.
- edge001, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5i like the "limewire" playlist...
- everfresh59, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6You guys make it sound as if Angelina Jolie is about to be revealed naked on the cover of Playboy Magazine. Calm down, big friggin' deal, they have ana nnouncement to make, keep your damn panties on ladies....
- monzsca, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Their "hardware" store shows a similar message, says "We'll be back soon."

Isn't fantastic to see this events happen in almost real time trough the web ? - Jadix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2nice, i invested in apple last week. they're already up 1% today, and haven't announced anything yet.
- zetsurin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Redmond must be watching this with keen interest.
- jl24, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm guessing the iTunes Music Store will be renamed to just the iTunes Store as well.
- cahopper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2iTunes 7 seems to be on the way. When you go to http://content.info.apple.com/iTunes7/ you get a permission denied error, not a page not found.
- putnam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That's fair, but it's still getting completely out of hand with all the retards wanting to be at the top of the page.
- brendanc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4This turned into a 404 about 2 minutes ago. Hrm.
- putnam, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It's kind of sad that the first post was "What time is the announcement?" and every single one of the replies are useless morons that don't respond and just wanted to post at the top of the page. (Edit: since I posted this, one guy responded, but didn't specifically answer his question.)
It's at 10AM Pacific (an hour from now). I can't find a live stream from Apple for it, though, which is kind of disappointing :( - diggdon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have been unable to find a video stream of the event. Even the Apple stream wasn't working.
- neuropsychguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1At least the online Apple store is down too; that means that Apple will not announce just movies but also something you can buy (this was obviously rumored but now we have confirmation of something).
- bdeisgn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Ah yes, because you don't want it, no should have it right?
- funtownarcade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah you can download music videos and tv shows for a while now.
- kevnaca, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes it's gonna be a crazy Apple digging day isnt it. Sit back and watch all that is Apple go to the front page. expecially with Mr. rose digging too.
- ngageguy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Latest update..Steve J is getting out his free starbucks coffee coupon he found on Digg and headed to get his free drink, lawyers right behind him. /end sarcasm
- kevnaca, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Apple Store is down too. c. 1hr to go.
- brianmcuasito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1just checked.. i was able to get in.. but i was blocked out on the regular store part.. woo hoo.. must mean upgrades or new stuff haha ;p
- brendanc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It is fun to watch, but I'm also excited... but for a slightly different reason.
Firstly, I'm not an "apple fanboy". I have never owned a mac, or an ipod... or anything else by apple. I am however, interested in the possibility of a full touch screen music/video player.
I know iPods might not be the highest quality devices (but they are certainly the best looking), but I'm sick of other companies coming out with lame media players that are using several year old technology. Come on! We've had touch screens for YEARS.
But seriously, I don't care about the itunes store change. I'm just interested in the new iPod if there is one. - chiatar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1why close the entire store? surley they can debut this crap with out stopping normal customers from getting music. Steves just trying to make a scene.. I'm not impressed
- alantocheri, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Apple's store is now down too: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore/
- Dakk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If the regular Apple Store is down (not just the iTunes Store), I'm guessing that this means some kinda hardware doohickey is going to be released.
- halleyscomet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Damn it, even the Podcast directory is just a black screen.
- aallan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So both the Apple Store and the iTunes Store are down, that means we're looking at a hardware and media announcement. The leaked agenda is starting to look almost believable...
http://www.babilim.co.uk/blog/2006/09/last-minute-rumours.html - benblack123, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1also, the ipod web site only has the ipod nano listed as of 12:50 est
http://www.apple.com/itunes/ - pipp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm sure this comment will get buried.....but the incredible abundance of non-news apple links of digg recently has been crazy. It seems like the home page is filled with "Apple might..." and "Will Apply announce...".
I do give Apple props for creating marketing buzz by taking down their stores in the middle of the day. It definatly spikes interest and curiosity. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Maybe they'll fix their 'not connected' problems they've yet to acknowledge.
- bermyguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Did someone say chicken
- MrUnderbridge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"It's kind of sad that the first post was "What time is the announcement?" and every single one of the replies are useless morons that don't respond and just wanted to post at the top of the page."
Maybe because no one wanted to be his personal Google? Seriously, learn to use a search engine. - lmbranco, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Was now replaced with a pure text message. Everybody is going crazy and jamming the page.
- ebmnoize, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1what the hell is wrong today

http://www.dvdtozuneconverter.net/m4v-converter.htm - TheOAF, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This morning they didn't have any new releases up so I had a feeling something was going on.
- diggdon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1The new Mac iTV (to be released in 2007) is a major disappointment to me because it appears to have no ability to encode TV into compressed format. This means Apple wants complete control over what TV you possess. They don't want you to have any TV unless you've paid for it... from them. You can't get your programs from other sources, including your own video camera. Sigh. I guess I'll keep my PC with its video encoding capability after all. At least Microsoft OS fully supports me getting my videos from anywhere I want them.
- flyinbuddha, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1downloads are HDTV as of Q1 2007
- Highstand, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I hope this announcement is more than just a leather Ipod case
- Rolandami, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Now the store is down
- hornfinger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Just text! Thats shocking! They could at least put an animated Apple there or something
- betobeto, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Nope, but why did it cross the road?
- normalizer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1link please....
- LordHelmet, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Man, what a loser.
