February 09, 2010 – Apple Store is Down for Updates. February 9, 2010
Posted by very in : Announcement, Apple, Mac OS X, MacBook, Media, News, Resources, Snow Leopard, Tech , add a commentUpdate: Apple introduces Aperture 3
It’s 4:00 AM and I’m still awake, don’t know why.
Anyway, Apple Store is down for updates. I bet they’re going to add the fabled 16-core MacBook Pro today…errr…that doesn’t really exist. I’m really hoping a Quad-Core MacBook Pro.
Based on the circulating rumors, Core i5 and Core i7 MacBook Pro is coming really soon.
Now, if only I could get that one company the salary they owe me, I could immediately buy the 16-core MacBook Pro.

Don’t be fooled with the version number embedded in the app itself. It might say version 1.21.1 and the iTunes App Store says version 1.3. All that matters is it is iPhone OS 3.0 compatible now.
