I am no sure that failing to acknowledge things like this is the best
route. Though I agree, speculation is not a good response. Maybe
something like this?
Q. Why does the Apple Store go down every time they release a major
product?
A. We have no idea, it is nothing to do with WebObjects. Ask Apple.

+1 with David and Lachlan here. Besides, listing speculation under
the 'facts' section seems a bit of a stretch (^_^) There's no need
to defend WO or belittle anyone else. Demonstrate why WO is the
best solution available, and the rest will take care of itself.

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?
I can understand the desire to counter the "webobjects is teh
suck!" tweets/posts/whatever, but I concur with Lachlan, I think
this really just smacks of feeding the troll. The correct response
is more like "That comment doesn't warrant a response"

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 :-)
