CUPERTINO, California—February 26, 2008—In what is being reported as a completely unexpected move, the Apple® Store came crashing down today and isn’t accessible anymore from web browsers across the world. Visiting what used to be the Store’s homepage now just shows up a curious little yellow sticky note (pictured on the right) with the promise that the store will resurface soon.
Scientists and investigators around the world have been informed and they’re looking into what might be the cause of this sudden turn of events. Could this be the launch of the highly anticipated iPhone software development kit that everyone is clamoring for? Or are we going to see the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros today?
Conspiracy theories are rolling in from several sources, with some even going so far as to suggest that it might just be routine maintenance (the blasphemy!), but we’re still waiting to hear the actual cause. No one really knows for sure. MacUser bloggers Dan, Derik and the rest are on the spot providing us with live up-to-the-minute updates. We’ll let you know as soon as something conclusive turns up. Stay tuned.
