Come on, you can't have anything better to do! After all, it's a Sunday night before going to work tomorrow for another week!
I'm already in bed
Saucey.
I'm next to my bed, so not far away, a quick dash i could be under the covers in 2 seconds.
Anyway I'm watching World's Wildest Police Chase.
Me too. It's terrible in a low class American way, but quite entertaining to see the stupid stuff people do.
For Euro stores only to be down, it has to be one of two things:
1. Euro specific product updates... maybe pricing, but can't think of any specifics.. or..
2. Routine maintenance as its overnight at their quietest time (in my opinion much more likely)
The US etc. stores wouln't be down for routine stuff in the middle of the day..

Crap, didn't notice that.
I'm now watching what is left of green wing.
I have already brushed and flossed ready for bed.
I'm hoping its a brand new Apple 12 string acoustic guitar.. go Apple go Apple..
Oh hang on.. thats the search I'm doing on eBay in another window. Damn.
No. This simply can't be true. I've been refreshing that page for nearly three hours now. It's iLife, I tell you, iLife...
Great minds.
BTW i got bored and started browsing your site. Really like TimeWaster and the feature set you added to it.
Perhaps it will show just how much time i spend trying to find a really good defensive midfielder for my squad (Football manager 2007)
Pfft.. if they can spend over a year doing routine maintenance on the M25 then 3 hours on the Apple store is nothing!
Put this in script editor and hit run
tell application "Safari"
repeat
open location "http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore"
delay 60
end repeat
end tell
I wish they'll be done soon. I can't go to sleep until I know if they've updated the iPod.
I'd just placed my order when the store went down.
Now I must wait and see if I have to cancel the order before it ships tomorrow.

Maybe Apple uses time zones to their advantage and those managing any given country's online store are in a different country that's several hours behind or something.
Eg the UK store could be updated from the US, the US store could be updated from the Pacific coast or further out, etc. Seems far-fetched but it's just a thought, they might save money doing it.
(Then again, it's not exactly as if they need to save money).
Interesting idea.
Of course, they could have people contracted to work overnight and not have to pay them any overtime. Not sure how likely that is - just another thought.

You can go to bed. If they've updated the specs or the iPod and your iPod hasn't shipped yet, it will automatically update your order.
Thank you SOOOO much!!! I can hardly stay awake, and I was unable to cancel the order, so yea... Thanks!
