It's worse when someone else quotes the entire post - double scrollage turmoil
i generally hate that too. unless the respondent breaks up the original, and replies to it in bits. otherwise its hard to follow. or, if the original is small, i dont care.
How come every time someone catches that the Apple store is down, we start a thread about it? Can the store just not go down for maintenance every once in a while?
So maybe a new piece of software was added, but jeez. Do a search for "apple store down" and see how many threads get pulled up. You guys are like vultures...

I didn't start the thread, just commented because I have nothing better to do while I am at work. Well I suppose I could work but jeez, how much do you expect from me, I get here on time.

...with my luck though they are just prepping the site for updates in 1month after I buy this week
CUPERTINO, Calif., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Apple(R) (Nasdaq: AAPL) today announced that DVD Studio Pro(R) 2, a powerful
new application re-designed to simplify professional DVD authoring with a
breakthrough user interface, will be available through Apple's retail stores
and Apple Authorized Resellers beginning August 18. Starting today, customers
can place their orders at http://www.apple.com/dvdstudiopro. New features such as
Apple-designed fully customizable templates, an innovative menu editor,
timeline-based track editing and a new world-class MPEG-2 encoder make DVD
Studio Pro 2 a must-have application for every creative professional.
DVD Studio Pro 2 offers unprecedented integration with Final Cut Pro(R) 4,
Apple's Emmy award-winning video editing software, and completes Apple's
professional suite of software which includes Shake(R) 3, the industry-leading
compositing and visual effects software; Soundtrack, the innovative music
production tool; and Logic Platinum, the standard in computer-based music
production.
"DVD Studio Pro 2 is the breakthrough DVD authoring application that video
professionals have been asking for," said Rob Schoeben, Apple's vice president
of Applications Marketing. "Regardless of whether your DVD project is simple
or complex, no other professional DVD authoring tool offers the type of
advanced capabilities and ease-of-use that DVD Studio Pro 2 does."
DVD Studio Pro 2 features a new user interface so easy to navigate that
both Final Cut Pro editors and users of consumer DVD authoring applications,
such as Apple's iDVD(TM), can get started right away. DVD Studio Pro 2
provides professionals with a solution that scales from building basic DVDs
easily to handling the most advanced projects.
New Apple-designed templates in DVD Studio Pro 2 include a variety of
styles, buttons and backgrounds so users can start creating elegant DVDs in a
few simple steps. The templates are fully customizable, allowing users to
jumpstart their DVD projects with the look of a Hollywood title or to create
their own templates from scratch to re-use or share with customers and
colleagues.
"DVD Studio Pro 2's wedding templates are exceptionally elegant, exuding
the beauty and excitement of the special occasion," said Denis Reggie, wedding
photojournalism pioneer. "DVD Studio Pro 2 gives wedding photographers
substantial creative freedom, and their clients are guaranteed to receive a
brilliant DVD that will last through time."
The innovative new menu editor in DVD Studio Pro 2 provides the tools DVD
authors need to create professional-quality menus, while also integrating with
popular graphics applications such as Adobe Photoshop. Context-sensitive drop
palettes allow users to make otherwise tedious connections in one step,
dramatically reducing the work required to make a DVD.
Based on the popular timeline in Final Cut Pro 4, a new timeline-based
track editing feature in DVD Studio Pro 2 enables users to work faster and
more efficiently with a linear view of clips, audio and other assets. In
addition to arranging up to nine video angles, eight audio streams and
32 subtitle streams, DVD Studio Pro 2 users can do basic trimming, merge clips
and manage chapter markers in one location.
"DVD Studio Pro 2 delivers a straightforward user interface, outstanding
speed and basically everything we need to produce high-quality DVDs," said
AJ Pyatak, chief scientist at Outpost Digital. "By coupling Final Cut Pro 4
with DVD Studio Pro 2, we have the ultimate solution to complete a DVD project
from beginning to end on one system."
DVD Studio Pro 2 also offers an integrated MPEG-2 encoder that delivers
pristine video at low bit rates. Compressor, a batch transcoding tool that
comes bundled with both DVD Studio Pro 2 and Final Cut Pro 4, lets users
export directly to multiple formats including MPEG-2 for DVD and MPEG-4 for
streaming media. A.Pack encodes uncompressed audio into highly compressed
Dolby Digital AC-3 streams, which can then be used in DVD Studio Pro 2 for
full 5.1-channel surround sound or simply as a compressed 2.0 stereo track.
Pricing & Availability
The English language version of DVD Studio Pro 2 can be ordered today
through the Apple Store(R) (http://www.apple.com) at a suggested retail price of
$499 (US). DVD Studio Pro 2 will be available for purchase through Apple's
retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers beginning August 18. Localized
versions in German, French and Japanese will be available in September. Full
system requirements and more information on DVD Studio Pro 2 can be found at
http://www.apple.com/dvdstudiopro .

I can't recall a time when a thread wasn't created about the Apple Store going down.
