Apple's online store goes down for WWDC

(Credit: CNET)

The Post-it note of happiness is once again gracing the front page of Apple's online store, alerting users that changes are afoot behind the scenes. This happens during most Apple events, and can mean anything from an updated version of box art, to purchase pages for new products.

In just under an hour Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference (WWDC) kicks off with a keynote from Apple's Phil Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide product marketing. Apple is expected to announce new hardware and software, including an updated version of the iPhone, as well as a price and release date for the next version of the OS X operating system codenamed "Snow Leopard."

You can find our live coverage of the event on this page.

The store was unavailable entirely last night- not even a note like they have now. Nothing could connect to it and even iTunes was getting the notice that the store was taken offline. I think I prefer the sticky note instead. :)

Ha ha, they're dissing Vista big time. It's awesome being here. I'm having a religious experience.

[The_happy_switcher]

Just kidding. I'm not really there. Don't get all excited now and start hurling insults at me, okay?

I read on an other new site that new MacBook Pros have been announced.

[Perry_Clease]

The upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard will be $29, or $49 for the Family Pack

Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ....

Just like a Mac after an OS X update ..... unexpectedly down, and no warning. And THAT is the truth!

[Perry_Clease]

Grow up!

[manojlds]

That was funny! Had a nice laugh. Yeah OS X updates are highly uncharacteristic of Apple. They, well, just fail after updates.

Rumor has it that Apple is trying to figure out a way to charge $1000 for a netbook...

[Perry_Clease]

I am not sure if that was a snark or not, but the new 13" MacBook Pro starts at $1199. So yeah, maybe the new MacBook will be $1000, or less, of course that is for portable on which you can do "real work."
