Ahead of today’s “Spotlight Turns to Notebooks” event in Cupertino (live coverage), Apple’s online store is currently offline, displaying the familiar message that often precedes new product additions:
We’ll be back soon. We are busy updating the store for you and will be back shortly.
[Update: 3:20pm EDT: Apple store back online.]

Does it normally go offline this early?
Uhhhh, it is now 11:16 EDT and it is still online here.
yes, it does seem awfully early . . .
hopefully that means lots of product updates and/or new product categories
Okay, at 11:17 it was down for me.
“Does it normally go offline this early?”
The RDF generator ran out of dilithium crystals. It takes two light hours to get a fresh supply from Steve’s home planet. Oops. I’ve said too much.
@Nick
Now they will have to kill you.
To critic:
I’d like to use a lifeline, please.
uhh, your story is time stamped 12:noon EDT…
It is 1135am here in NYC
It seems that MDN sometimes has a tendency to time-stamp their stories ahead of the current time. I am guessing this is so that some other, older story would remain on top. This is colossally annoying, since it makes it a bit difficult to scan MDN page for new articles, when an old one keeps rising to the top.
MDN: there are NO STORIES that are THAT IMPORTANT (short of premature demise of Apple’s CEO) that warrant being pushed above more recent ones. We all really know that the new Macbooks are arriving, so leave the story where it originally was, so that we can actually easily see if you do have more recent stories on the site.
I believe the $899 product is not an LED Display, but rather a sub-notebook with an 8 inch screen, clamshell design with just a keyboard on one side and a touch screen on the other. It has a 64GB SSD (i.e. two 32GB iPod touches), wifi, NO optical drive, and runs Mac OS X. There’s your $899 laptop. Besides, why would they talk about an LED Display if this event is has the Spotlight on notebooks?
MDN Magic Word – alone – as in, I’m probably “alone” in my prediction here.

Guess history shows you are wrong.
