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.
I like that!

+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

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 :-)
