As usual, when the Apple Store goes down, people on Twitter starts blaming WO because of store being down for minutes or sometimes hours. So I was thinking of adding a fact in the Facts section of wocommunity.org about this. Suggestion :
-------------------------------
Q. Why does the Apple Store goes down every time they release a major product?
A. Since we don't work for Apple, we can't answer this question in details, but we don't see a reason why they have to put the store down even if they only added a new product. Funny thing is that the iTunes Store is also running WebObjects and does it goes down everything a new song is released? Nope. So our guess is that when a new major Apple product is released, maybe they close the store to do some maintenance or for marketing reasons. What we DO know is that it's not a limitation of WebObjects, and at WOWODC West 2009 some engineers from the Apple Store team were there and they are very bright people, so we guess that they close the store for very valid reasons.

Adding a fact like this might help for people who search about this on Google or to sent as replies to some tweets :-) _______________________________________________
