@gregmorris Joe Rossignol: 'Apple Store Will Go Down Soon, But Don't Get Too Excited'

Apple takes its online store down for a few hours ahead of Black Friday every year to tease/prepare for its annual gift card offer with the purchase of select products. As of writing, the store already went down and came back online in countries such as Australia and New Zealand, and the gift card offer is now livethere. No other surprises.
