All interesting speculation - but why does this need mentioning on
wocommunity at all?
As was mentioned in the recent thread, this kind of stuff is all too
defensive / negative. WOCommunity should be sprouting the
positives... what do you get with WO?
A web store that goes down when Apple releases a new product?
:-P

They probably also close it so when they bring it back up there are
no old cached pages without the new product. People would go
insane if they went to the store and could not see the new iPad and
their friend could.

Good point. Probably Apple does that on purpose to generate hype...

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 :-)
