Apple's Online Order Status Pages Down Until Sunday's Retail Meeting

retail
Apple is upgrading its online order status pages this weekend. The above message is displayed if you try to access your Order Status from Apple's Online Apple Store (thanks Jordan and Kris). The downtime corresponds to Apple's May 22nd retail event.

While there were some high hopes about the event, the latest rumors suggest that the event corresponds to many Apple Retail changes and improvements such as a revamped concierge system and other internal systems. The online order status must be tied into the upgrades.

Do you believe that wind exists?

One's "beliefs" have nothing to do with whether the wind exists or not.

Can you see the wind, or just the effects of the wind?

Everyone can experience and measure air displacement (a.k.a. wind). You can run repeatable experiments with accurate, predictable results about wind.

Dude, the Saturday bit isn't the crazy bit.

The crazy bit is praying every day to an imaginary invisible egomaniac in the hope that he'll 'beam you up' to safety when he decides that it's time to torch everyone else on earth.

Crazy is as crazy does... ;)

Amen brother.
