Apple Store undergoes Friday downtime [u]
updated 04:40 pm EDT, Fri October 16, 2009
No new products expected
The online Apple Store has temporarily shut down, observers note. Anecdotes suggest it went offline shortly before 3:45PM Eastern on Friday, and as of 4:40PM the store is still inactive, only displaying a notice about updating content. The Apple Store frequently goes down shortly before a new product release; nothing is expected today however, as the company typically puts products on sale in the morning, and usually early or in the middle of the week.
Update: The store has returned with no new products.

Looks like Apple.com is no longer using WebObjects to power their store.
