Apple Store down late Saturday night (Updated)
Long odds that there's any sort of product update late on a summer Saturday, but you never do know. The Linen Page Formerly Known As The Yellow Sticky is up right now; if you see anything of interest when the store comes back, do please let us know. Update: Back up! Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
Apple Store down Thursday evening (Updated)
Ah yes, our old friend -- the Post-it of Unavailability. The Apple Store is down in the US, UK, Australia and presumably elsewhere as well. Could be maintenance, could be something else (although it seems awfully early for the rumored Mac Pro refresh). We'll know in a few hours, give or take. Update: The store is back up with no major changes; however commenters note that the previous days-to-ship product information is now replaced with simply "In Stock" except in the case of the Mac Pro. That may be aimed at avoiding further commotion when simple ship time fluctuations occur.
It's Friday afternoon, and the online Apple Store is down

UPDATE: It's back up, it looks like there's nothing new.

Love that yellow sticky note...
...for the downtime in the store means that the Black Friday discounts will soon be up in the US. We already know the rough scale of the savings -- modest, not dramatic -- so don't get too excited! Thanks to everyone who sent this in. Now, go to bed and sleep off that load of turkey.
Change is coming... to the Apple Store
Sorry, couldn't resist. Yes, the Apple Store is down right now (apparently worldwide no, just US and Canada, sorry) despite Apple's denial of any new products before the holiday season. Chances are this is just routine maintenance, although it's definitely Tuesday... so we'll see.Update: Looks like it's the holiday window dressing and possibly some changes to the refurb section.Thanks to all the night owls who sent this in.
Australian Store is Down. Yellow Sticky held for Ransom. Panic in the Street
Widespread panic has ensued as the Australian Apple Store went down and its Yellow Sticky went missing. TUAW has received an anonymous ransom demand for the safe return of the sticky. This is apparently not a joke [1] . While we wait with bated breath -- both for word about the safe return of our yellow friend and for what the store update will bring -- let us know your predictions. Drop us a comment with your thoughts. [1] For blog posting values of "joke". Please see usage, terms and rules for details about fake ransom notes and accompanying demands. Consult with a lawyer before paying ransoms. TUAW (and its assigns) is not an authorized kidnapper. For entertainment purposes only. Restrictions apply.
