Other than hype is there really a reason for taking the store down?

I'm honestly not sure if I'll bite on new hardware or not. My wife will kill me if I somehow talk myself into getting an iMac.
"Where would we put it?!"
"You're just going to play Diablo III all the time and neglect our marriage!"
"Diablo III is going to make you fall off your diet and slow down exercising!"
"We're trying to save for a new house!"
"We're trying to save for our kid that we're trying to make!"
"You don't need it!"
...those are all entirely valid reasons why I shouldn't get an iMac...and yet, I still may. What a shitty husband...

What's the under and over on how long into the keynote it takes before we get some one posting in this thread that doesn't understand that this is a developer conference and starts ranting (probably in all caps) about how boring this all is.
"Quit showing apps! I want the new iPhone!"
"Why are they spending so much time on OSX?"
"What? No new iPods today?"
etc., etc.

Product launches, new ads, new focal points to whatever they are about to start pushing next. While the approach is outta the 90s, Apple's "Store Down" is the markets signal that they are about to sell something new so:
"Get your wallets ready..."

Same for me, although I think it's more a case of 'more of the same'.
There will be at minimum 5 posts proclaiming disappointment at the lack of iPhone 5 despite the fact it was never expected to be there or out till the fall.

I'm going to go with 15 minutes in.
Is this the first without Steve?

Both safe bets!
Happens every time there is a thread for WWDC. I'll probably personally post at least once or twice: "It's a DEVELOPERS conference!"
On the plus side when your wife leaves you you'll have plenty of time for Diablo III on your new iMac.
Both safe bets!

It should be in the thread title, honestly.
WWDC12 Thread of NO NEW IPHONE ANNOUNCEMENT.
My fiancé told me building a pc would be stupid and we should get another iMac whenever ours goes.
Mines 4 years old so I figure another two years is good.

followed by another 5 posts of people proclaiming they just bought a new MacBook Pro yesterday.

So what is realistic to expect?
Yup. :lol
A contact on Facebook bought one yesterday. Not sure if I should feel sad for that person, or not.
What you should do us laugh at him/her.
iOS 6 preview. OS X Mountain Lion release date. New Macs. The wild card is a new Apple TV OS update and SDK.
Can't they just return it?
They can return it, I would feel bad for someone who bought it last month
*But, but... I just bought a new Macbook Pro yesterday....*
* Can I return it and upgrade?*
* What options are there for me to get the best deal on a Macbook Pro even though I just bought one?*
* Wait, they just announced new hardware today?*
and last but not least....
* FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I just hit day 15 of my new Macbook Pro, why didn't they tell me!?!!?!? *

I plan to buy my first Mac sometime early next year, so I am very curious what happens here. Also curious for iOS6 for my iPad and iPhone 5 this fall.

Doesnt Apple offer 20 days for return/exchange if a newer model is released?

I hope iOS 6 has features that take advantage of the new iPad's hi-res screen.
Otherwise, I will be incredibly disappointed.

pretty much every company has a return policy of like 2 weeks
I don't have The New iPad, but I would have figured all of Apple's software was updated for Retina display months ago. Hmmmm...

I am online at the apple store patiently waiting for the new [widget] to be announced.
It was all updated. I'm not sure what he means.
iPhoto and iBooks absolutely take advantage of the retina display, for example.
Now that you mention Spotify, give me a Spotify app for Apple TV.
Now that you mention this, I want this more.
I guess we're talking about the actual TV and not the box here?
Oh sweet. Allow for a Plex app and I will buy an AppleTV in a heart beat. It's the last thing making the Roku a better option for me.
Same. Really hope they bring facetime to Apple TV. My parents would absolutely love that.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Any chance Mountain Lion could be given a fast release date as a big bomb at the show? Like ML will be available as an upgrade next week or something?
PS: #1 hope is they show greater differentiation between iPad and iPhone iOS wise.

well they won't release new macbooks without Mountain Lion, and it's been in beta long enough, so yeah sure, end of June?

Where's Gruber's pre-WWDC prediction post? It's usually up by now. He's slacking.
It's been in beta for months, so the developers wouldn't really be pissed. It's not like this is the first they've heard of it.
Only if they want to upset a lot of developers

My friend who works for the business team in the NYC store on w.14th says that new laptops are definite and new Apple TV for developers is almost certain.
Take it with a grain of salt. Their employees are known for not being in the know.
The Apple TV in it's current state is terrible. I find myself having to stretch to make it sound interesting. However, if they execute the AirPlay properly in Mountain Lion, would be a fantastic feature.
Probably not. An Apple OS without the "i" can hardly ever be a big bomb. I'm excited for the final release though.
