Apple Reports iTunes, App Stores "Unavailable For All Users"
After the less than enthusiastic reception for the iWatch, more bad news for Apple. From Reuters:
- APPLE SAYS APP STORE, MAC APP STORE AND ITUNES STORE SERVICES UNAVAILABLE FOR ALL USERS
- APPLE SAYS CUSTOMERS MAY BE UNABLE TO MAKE PURCHASES FROM THE APP STORE, ITUNES STORE, IBOOKS STORE, OR MAC APP STORE
More details from TechRadar:
Apple's digital stores - the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store and Mac App Store - are experiencing some pesky technical problems right now.
Apple has updated its service status page to reflect that "all users are affected" by the problem. It was also having issues with iCloud account sign-ins, which now seems to be fixed, but users are still experiencing problems with purchasing items on its stores.
So if you're having issues with any of these services, fear not, you're not alone. We'll update as we know more.
And the confirmation from Apple:
One wonders if Apple forgot to "pay its NSA fees" this month?

Pretty well sums it up...
Im sick of Apple, homosexuality, and the race card. fuckem all
But what's your opinion of Upskirt Monkey Pics?

I lost thousands on UpskirtMonkeyPics.com in the 2000 meltdown. Never again.
iWatch you
[Who would have thought that 31 years after Apple parodied IBM as 'Big Brother' that Apple itself would truly become Big Brother?...]
The attacks are coming from Venezuela...
;-)
Russian?

Yep.
Funny how all those brain-dead zombies in that commercial resemble Apple FanBoyz...
Ironically, Apple's ad may not been far from the truth, since IBM tabulated census data in Nazi Germany. Some say it facilitated the holocaust.
Has anything changed really? Other than punch cards? What if the intent of all this technology is to track of people, real-time?
"I lost thousands on UpskirtMonkeyPics.com in the 2000 meltdown. Never again."
You too? Damn! I thought I was the only one... But they had the eyeballs, man! How did they miss?
" But they had the eyeballs, man!"
But they had the iBalls, man
There corected it for ya :)
tell that to Tim Cook's wife
You know, I sorta like chiks from back in the day - they had some meat on their bones...
"Your call is important to us. Please continue to hold...."
My Android is working just fine. NSA spying app has never missed a beat.
You ain't fucking kidding. For shits and giggles, find a blackberry and load up an android app and look to see what permissions it wants.
And be sure to uncheck the "first born child" box.

Or make sure that it IS checked... (your mileage may vary).
I just wish those NSA fuckers would speed it up, I hate when they delay my text messages 30 minutes, shouldn't their software be able to capture and push almost simultaneously.
"your call is very important to us", fixed it for ya!
Wow, this is going to be the final nail in Apple's coffin.
Next year's free cash flow might be like $50k short of a gabillion.

They released an update today. Must have a flaw. I punted on it when it popped up.
The update installs an app for the iWatch, even if you don't want to buy one. It plays advertisements for the iWatch. People are pissed because it takes up space on their phone.
Apple is the new Microsoft...
yes and i won't be updating to 8.2 for this reason. screw that.
"He's not a very good football player. All he ever does is score touchdowns."
uggh, think of all the really stupid ideas and dumb ass products they will bring to market over the next 20 years while they piss away the gazillions made on the iphone.
Of course a cyberattack on APPL is an attack on our civilized world.
But while we wait for the confirmation on which rogue 3rd world country did it this time...

Obama will say this is an attack on Apple and is an act of war.
Apple is not cool anymore. When something becomes too popular, it eventually goes out of style through market saturation and ppl grow tired of it. Ppl want to be unique because they are wired to be individuals.
When it rains it pours Apple!
Ppl want to be unique because they are wired to be individuals.
And this is why collectivism, in all its various forms, is doomed to fail.
However, H. Sapiens is a social animal, after a fashion, so true anarchy is a no go, as well. It devolves into Thunderdome, and Law of the Jungle.
It's by no means perfect, but true libertarianism is the best possible path for mankind as a whole. Fortunately, mankind as a whole appears to be at least starting to wake up to this truth.
That's why the psychopaths in power are scrambling to shut down the free aspects of the Internet, while the MSM is cranking up the volume on the disinformation campaign. For all their delusions of Deity, deep down inside, those parasites in power suits know that they're just as human as the rest of us - and that they're nhot only outnumbered, but also outmatched by the masses they scorn. They're scared, pure and simple. And a scared animal is truly a dangerous thing.
."Ppl want to be unique because they are wired to be individuals."
I disagree. Most people want to fit in and be told what to think and do. Very few people are individuals anymore. People who comment here are the rare exception.
Russkie Sanctions Blowback----> R S B
iTunes is running on Hillary's server in her closet.
What's with all the blather today about CIA trying to hack iPhone? I had thought this was already done a long time ago via NSA backdoor facilitated across all platforms by manufacturers?
This is a classic example of how inefficient government is. When you have two US intelligence agencies with the purpose of spying on Americans that are clearly not sharing their technology with each other, the result is the US taxpayer paying twice for the same tools to allow the government to spy on the taxpayer.
Snowden's comment was about the Motarola chipset..
<== Apple would sell you out in Heartbeat
<== Apple would defend your information
In support of that selling out as being SOP, I have a 2004 Blue Cross ID card with my Social Security number in 18 point type on it, so yeah, to corporate America, you are not even a number worth encrypting .
Somebody did a "Cleveland Steamer" on Apple...
Thats it..I am not buying a watch now
Holding out for the I cheese straightener
wonder what hardware they use....an IBM computer at NSA HQ powered by a nuke plant?
Hey buddy would you like to buy a watch real cheap (here on the street)?
I got six on each arm and two more round my feet.

It's the Russian hackers.
Bj and the bear!!!!!! Thats funny stuff!!!
Fuck you fanboyz!
No Apple Pay?
someone forgot to charge the battery, after all 3 hours will have passed, so easy for a fan boy to forget
Walked past the Apple store in the mall yesterday.
Crickets.
A sea of blue shirts desperately looking for something to do.
I love my eight year old beat-to-crap Timex Expedition. Still on the original battery. $35.
Fuck 'em.
Consider yourself lucky. The strap on mine just snapped after a little more than 2 years. Of course the replacement is backordered but that didn't stop Timex from charging my card while I wait for a month for it to come back into stock...
Dr. Evil: "I have a plan!"
Underling: "What is it, Doctor?"
Dr. Evil: "I am not telling. First, I want to find out how long it takes the proletariat to revolt when I turn off the iNterNet next month."
Underling: "Would you like me to ask them? I can design an app for that."
Dr. Evil: "No! Fool! Do not ask them! We will test them!!"
Underling: "How shall we test them, Doctor?"
Dr. Evil: "Stop asking questions! Go design an app that turns off the iStore and hurry up! I need it by tonight!"
is there any tablet PC which i can install software to without giving away my credit card number ?
Just buy a prepaid visa/mc/amex/itunes/google gift card and use that to register. The most they'll be able to take is the value of the card -- $20 in my case.
The icloud is a black swan in training. Don't worry. Soon enough the government will pass legislation to address systemic risks and conduct stress tests.
Heck it wouldn't surprise me if Uncle Sugar make iDevices mandatory one day. That's the day I will happily pay $2,350 to renounce citizenship.
Apple products, the gifts that keep on giving out LOL I know people who would queue all night for a iTurd. this watch, 3 hours battery life, even 48 hours is a joke, but all the sheeple will queue to hand their money over in order to "belong".
My iPhone screen broke for like 6th time today so I flipped and got a NoKia for €35. Tried to Buy a Cartoon on Apple TV for my kid this evening. Overpriced but quick and EAsY right? No. 30 mins and no cartoon. QuicKer and easier to pirate that shi-
Maybe InVest your icash in iTunes working and iPhones that don't smash and bend instead Of iwatch nonsense and ishare buybacks AAPL
