I'm not saying that it's physically impossible for them to add something to their store online without closing it down, but they do want to be able to focus on adding the new items without people buying other things. I know that they're Apple Computer company and that they're a huge corporation that can take it, but that's apparently just a part of their process for adding new items. What I'm saying is that we need to stop making such a huge freaking deal out of it when theres a new item, and that they can do whatever the crap they want to. Doesn't mean they should, just that they can.
it's only over-hyped becase we make it over-hyped. Why do you think they didn't have it webcasted live on the apple site? or that they only allowed like 200 people and that there wasn't any fuss made on the apple site? sure, they closed down the apple store during the "unveiling," but that's just something that they have to do to prepare for the new items. Part of Apple is going to want they extra hype and attention and really does want us to be mezmerized by "What will Steve give us today?" but in reality I think that they really didn't want this to be a big deal, which it obviously shouldn't have been. Steve loves the element of surprise, and I know we like the Shock and Awe that they usually give us, but I think that the lack of televising and small venue should have tipped us all off. We all keep hoping for "that next new item" but we really need to just chill out and remember to take our medication today.
