Apple currently got what seems to be huge probs with iTunes and the iPhone App Store. People all over the world cannot log into iTunes App Store to buy and upgrade programs because of connection timeouts. Some people are taking it with a smile, I guess they're used to it:

It's only 3:30AM in Cupertino. You don't expect an online store to be open in the middle of the night, do you?

I wrote yesterday about my gripes with iTunes, and this sure doesn't make things better I can tell you. One would think that Apple had the App Store system spread out the world for concurrency and minimize problems like this, but apparently not.
