Apple discussions are in maintenance mode.... Why now. Does that mean that a new product is coming and that they need to update their discussions pages?

    Security maintenance would be my guess. Maybe just making sure that everything is working properly prior to changing the Apple store and Quicktime areas.

    There's the inside scoop <a href="http://forums.appleinsider.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=002068"; target="_blank">in this thread</a> Apple must be updating the their pages to reflect the new product mentioned there.

    QuickTime 6 is already "out" and an update to an i-app would probably not require the shutdown of any magnitude this early.



    Out in the real world software craps out, hardware fails and maintenance can take longer than expected (bad HDs, corrupted software, OS patch pukes).



    Apple is piece-mealing its product rollouts this year (Xserve, QT6) so anything coming out during the Keynote is either a show and tell or is so minor it doesn't really warrant all this rumor-supported hype.



    Notice that Apple has barely hyped the MWNY Expo on its own web site instead focusing on a bunch of dork-looking people who decided to buy a Mac instead of another PeeCee.



    Can you get any more anti-climatitc than not hyping a big consumer show named after your own products?

    Sign of an OLD product coming. Why say NEW? Wouldn't "Product Coming" imply NEW?

    No, it just means a product coming. Not only old, but current product coming. If we are going to be technical about it...

    Confirmed! apple.com took two seconds longer to load! Signs of new products coming! The server is slower because AAPL is uploading a 5 GB .mov file about the PowerMac G5 technology!



    duh!
