The Apple Core

Jason D. O'Grady & David Morgenstern

Apple’s international online stores are closed

By | June 9, 2008, 7:38am PDT

Summary: Presumably in preparation of today’s WWDC keynote address by Steve Jobs, most of Apple’s online stores around the world are offline. Curiously, the U.S. and UK stores are still open for business. I expect them to go offline shortly before Steve takes the stage at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET.

Biography

Jason D. O'Grady

Jason D. O'Grady developed an affinity for Apple computers after using the original Lisa, and this affinity turned into a bona-fide obsession when he got the original 128 KB Macintosh in 1984.

He started writing one of the first Web sites about Apple (O'Grady's PowerPage) in 1995 and is considered to be one of the fathers of blogging. He has been a frequent speaker at the Macworld Expo conference and a member of the conference faculty. He also co-founded the first dedicated PowerBook User Group (PPUG) in the United States.

After winning a major legal battle with Apple in 2006, he set the precedent that independent journalists are entitled to the same protections under the First Amendment as members of the mainstream media.

O'Grady is the author of The Nexus One Pocket Guide, The Droid Pocket Guide, The Google Phone Pocket Guide, and The Garmin nuvi Pocket Guide (Peachpit Press), the author of Corporations That Changed the World: Apple Inc. (Greenwood Press), and a contributor to The Mac Bible (Peachpit Press). In addition, he has contributed to numerous Mac publications over the years, including MacWEEK, Macworld, and MacPower (Japan).

When he's not writing about Apple for ZDNet at The Apple Core, he enjoys spending time with his family in New Jersey.

They have taken down the store in the past just to add new colors to the iPod!! It doesn't surprise me though considering this is all brought to you by the makers of iTunes, QuickTime, and Safari, the 3 least secure products in the world. Also brought to you by the makers of OS X, the only out-of-the-box OS that was brought down (and brought down within 2 minutes) of surfing the internet!
