Did you hear the collective gasps of fanboys everywhere? Apple’s online store is down! What could this mean? Are there new quad-core MacBook Pro models? The rumored Mac Mini with HDMI? Maybe something completely magical that no one else has even dared to dream of before?

Every time the Apple store is offline for maintenance, speculation runs amuck, and hysteria erupts among Apple diehards. How many servers have crashed due to sheer volume of traffic overloading Apple web forums whenever someone posts, “Apple Store Down!”

This time it was just the expected iPad pre-order, but the next will be whatever your Apple hearts can conjure up.
