We're getting a lot of reports from readers that they can't connect to the iTunes App Store from either their Mac or Windows PCs, or iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. Some readers are saying they can connect, however, so while it's down for a lot of people, it may not be down for everyone.
Let us know either way!
There are 222 comments. Add yours.
Hey Rene, it's working for me. I'm updating apps on my iPhone while typing this.
I cannot update my apps, either. I have made several attempts today. Each I attempt to do so, I get this message window: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again."
My network settings and network connection are both fine. Perplexed.
Down for me also 4/21/12 12:34 AM est
What's going on Apple? Why cant I update my freaking apps?
As of 2:36PM CST, I was able to access and download apps from the AppStore on my iPhone.
It's not working for me on the iPad 2. I tried WiFi and Hotspot from iPhone 4...Also not working on iPhone or iMac. I think the problem is not the App store, I think is the accounts.
It was working, but cut me off mid-download
Working fine here in DFW...Just updated 7 apps and downloaded 3 new ones
Down here, PA
I was able finally to update on my computer, but can't on my iPhone. Took a few tries to download the new Angry Birds on my iPad, but can't get it on my iPhone.
Hope this gets fixed soon.

I was trying to download an iPhone app from the app store. I can search the apps, but when I try to install, it places the grayed out app logo on the phone with "Waiting" below the icon. That's as far as it gets. Never even asks for my app store password.
I have been attempting to access it here in WV, USA for about 2 hours without luck. Glad it's not just me.
Doesn't work 4 me here in Amsterdam :(
Down here in Malaysia as well :(

Seemed to be down, spinning like crazy but finally did process transaction and download app. It did not automatically install however, I had to install it manually. Once installed, it didn't add to dock, I had to launch from the Applications folder. Lots of crazy behavior but it did finally work after letting it sit spinning for a few minutes.
Down in Malaysia...
App Store down in Ireland too!
Works great for me have no problems loading anything
I'm also having problems with it, it's not fully down but it takes about 3 minutes from an attempt to download an app until I get the password prompt, and nothing so far has been downloaded.
Can not connect in France now!
Down for me in the UK.
Can't access it in West London, UK.
Down (US).
The app store isn't working for me on my iPad 2, either. That's how I found this article, after searching to see if others are experiencing similar.
I can browse the app store, but when I try to make a purchase, it goes from the price, to "buy app", then the second tap that should initiate the purchase just causes it to revert back to the price. Meanwhile, a phantom app icon (all gray) attempts to download... wait a minute, the gray app has changed to the app icon, but still won't download. It's still "waiting". In addition to the strange behavior, there is a delay of several seconds between the "buy app" tap and when it asks for my iTunes password. The app actually appears to begin downloading (or "waiting") prior to it asking for my password.
Interesting... as I was typing this, I received a pop up message indicating "can't connect to iTunes store". I tapped "retry", but I'm not expecting much. Looks like a semi-localized iTunes outage? Bummer.
down in belgium
EFFING DOWN in NYC!
glad to see this post - I know it's not just me.
I called apple and was told by a rep who contacted the iTunes engineers and reported to me that " The iTunes store has some work to be done - some areas of the store are down but will both affect the entire store" he will contact me when the issue is resolved. It sounds like a big problem! I bet its the angry birds rio version!!!!!!
Not working for me here in Canada on my iTouch. Password prompt doesn't seem to happen unless I disconnect from my network. Then it says it can't connect....shocking!

i can access store in uk but app updates keep failing on itunes and iphone
just checked again and seems to be fine now
Yes can on iPhone and Mac, UK
Works great here. On my iPhone 4 and Mac. I'm in SoCal.
It's working again, just got some updates on my iPad :)
Before it went down, I had some updates. When I installed the updates, got a pop up wanting me to verify my credit card information for in app purchases. Never had this before. I am thinking Bejewled Blitz was the cause. I really do not use the facebook Blitz. Thought it strange to have to verify my information when they already have it. Did not do it, and no response from Apple. Anybody else get this?
I got this pop-up yesterday while trying to download a free app - thought it was strange, but verified anyway, because app store wouldn't let me proceed with the download otherwise.
Thanks, same problem, have to verify security code. I appears from apple, but real fishy. They already have that info. Could be a safety net on their part to make sure the real owner is buying the app. Kind of useless on a free app, unless that app has in app purchase.
6:20pm Eastern I can connect.
Was down earlier in CA on my iP4, but working now.

I don't know WTF has been going on with the appstore lately but ever since the Verizon iPhone was released, it takes a few minutes just for it to load up! Super slow even when using wifi!
app store will not work on new verizon iphone4. Raleigh, NC. started around 10pm. Phone was purchased new last friday.
I will always got connection timeout from itune when i download iOS4.3.1 till around 400MBytes, WTF! Is itunes having problem ?
the app store is not working for me right now =[
The App store server times out.
iTunes store won't let me send a gift app! All day long.
I can get to it from my phone, but it won't let me get the updates it's saying I need. I press Buy, and nothing happens. It's really frustrating.
Whilst I am being notified of updates for downloaded apps, when I go to update my screen is blank with no updates showing????
Appstore application doesn't open in my Iphone4. tried to logout then login, but it's still not opening, not running. Do I need to reset the whole software because of this? or did I miss something?
App store window opens on my iMac, shows me that I have three updates, but I cannot get into the Updates category. When I try and view my account, the interface spins and spins, not only does not produce a result but I cannot cancel.
App store window opens in my iMac, but only to show few minutes later: "impossible to connect to App Store".
Also the same thing happens when open iTunes and try to open the store. Can listen to music on the library but can search anything on the store.
What can I do?

I can access all of the iTunes stores except Apps.
I do not get an error message; all I get is a blank page. Windows 6 64 bit - my iPad connects just fine.
All but apps catagorys.... after clicking on the apps tab in iTunes and choosing a catagory like "photography", all I get is a blank page. Searching the app tab works though.........
Same as everyone else, I can get to go on all the other options on iTunes Store but not 'app store'...al I get is a blank page, no instructions, no advice or help, just blank. It has been like that for 3 days now.
same as everyone, can access tv, songs, movies, but not the apps in iTunes, is there an answer ?? Was working fine 2 days ago. Can't connect from laptop, but can download apps from iPhone 4
i had same problem as everyone else but solved it by searching for the app i wanted to look at once on the blank screen of the app store
I was unable to look at the App store page or Purchased page in iTunes on my PC. All I got was a blank page, however I just did an iTunes update and now I can look at everything again.
App Store says I have 2 updates. I push Update All. One goes to Loading and one to Waiting. But the one Loading seems to make no progress.
I gave up after awhile (hour?) and retried. Again, same problem. I shutdown my iPhone 4, booted it up again, and tried the Update All again. The progress seems there, but very, very slow. I am using WiFi at my workplace, and the receiving signal (radar symbol) looks strong.
Finally, I gave up with the WiFi, and used 3G with no problem on my iPhone 4 to get the 2 updates.
I can but my husband can't.
App store is not loading on my Iphone 4
I've tried to update apps as well as DL new ones a pop up comes up that I need to verify payment page. So it's all there CC# address and the security code from CC needs filled in so I do it. But it says it's wrong. But it's not. So it won't let me update apps or DL new apps even free ones! Whats the dig idea? How to I fix it?
It won't get search matches or let me download right now it says app store something
i can't.
It won't let me search the iOS app store but everything else works fine...
I cannot access the Apps store at all, I am having trouble downloading an app it keeps telling me no match when I know the app is there. Please help.
I can make it to the App store but when I go to search for ANYTHING (Facebook, Fruit Ninja the Mass Text one I needed) it shows ""No matches found".
Can't on my iMac. Guess you guys don't want me to buy anything.
App store loading on my ipod touch and app just sat waiting - for almost a day now
im using a macbook pro and for some reason i turned on my laptop one day and my date and time were messed up and i couldnt access the app store whatoever my flash isnt working and loads of other things...idk if its just the app store but..yeah its not working haha
I have 15 apps that need to be updated I push update and now they all say waiting, but no progress has been made in 3 days. I've tried uninstalling the apps and reinstallining them, but the new apps say waiting as well.
Try doing one at a time first. If it hangs, turn off WiFi and see if 3G works better. For some reason, my WiFi at work did not work as well as my WiFi at home for updating Apps. I could be mistaken, but iOS 5 seems to me to update Apps without freezing.
I tried what you suggested with no luck :-( I turned off wifi and used 3G I also tried doing one app at a time. I reset the phone as well, but still nothing. I'm running out of ideas.

Welcome disc golfer! You can login or create an account.
Questions? Call us: (785) 258-2494
The Innova Star Max disc golf disc is a distance driver that is overstable. A great distance disc for strong headwinds and sidearm throwers. Fast with significant glide and predictable in all conditions. Much like a faster Firebird or Monster. Great golf disc for forehand drives. Backhand throwers can use it for anhyzer flex shots and spike hyzer throws. The Max is predictable and dependable into the wind. You can trust your line into the stoutest headwinds.
The Max is designed for more experienced players with powerful backhands or sidearm throwers. The Max can handle the torque of disc golf's most powerful throwers.
It is a great choice for maximum distance, long hyzers, headwind drives, sidearm throws, and intermediate to advanced players looking for a disc that won't flip.
Available in Star, weights 172-175 grams, 21.2 cm.
"The combination of distance and reliability into the wind makes the Max a must have disc for every pro. For me, it flies like a very long Firebird." - Steve Wisecup
If you want a golf disc with more:
turn, try a Star Wraith or Star SL
less speed, try a Star Monster
same speed, try Star Wraith or Star TeeRex

About a month ago I got some first gen LSi9's in cherry. While I love the speakers I just could not get to liking the cherry on the first gens. To me it looked like bamboo placemats
So with help from F1nut (a lot of help) I stripped the finish and refinished the panels. I did a combination of Rustoelum Cabernet and Black Cherry stains and the covered it with about 10 coats of lacquer that I sprayed on. The color was pretty spot on to what I wanted.
It was not and easy task. If I where to do it again I would just remove the veneer and apply a new one. The veener peeled on every panel except one. The original glue was not very strong when moisture, or heat was applied. Huge pain in the butt. Got them all glued down but its not a smooth as it once was. Not a deal breaker but o'well.
I also refinished the sanus stands in the same color and did the bases in a Piano black vs the flat black they once where. Overall I am very happy with the end result. Its my first venture into wood refinishing and I surprised my self with how well it came out. If it wasnt for the peeling issue I am pretty sure they wood be perfect. I also need to find a better two sided tape. What I used is too thick and I am not happy with the gap on the edges.
Once again a huge thanks to F1nut

Just got back from watching 'Side effects'. Very interesting movie. Keeps you guessing. I don't want to say too much about it because it may give away the suspense. Definitely recommend.
Saw Zero Dark Thirty today. Could not get into it. Got kind of draggy in places and didn't really come alive for me until the final half hour or so. I didn't know that Lady Gaga's man Taylor Kinney was in this as one of the SEALs who swooped on Bin Laden's compound.
I will start my post about the trailers for this week's new smaller movies with a big "YOU'RE WELCOME"!!! I have saved you from watching three awful trailers with equally awful imdb.com entries. I can't imagine anyone wanting to see "Red Flag", "Rubberneck" or "Midrange". Well, Midrange does star the uber-handsome Sean Douglas but that is definitely not enough to make me have any interest in this movie. As for the other four new titles, only the first is going on my To See list. Looks good! Oh, and not a good sign for the documentary about Stanely Kubrick's "The Shining" when youtube has four trailers for this one and they're all basically critic's quotes. Not even one second of footage...
February 22 Future Weather (Dram with new cast and Amy Madigan. From imdb.com: "When her single mom runs off to California, Lauduree, a passionate environmentalist, clings to her rural home.")
February 22 Bless Me, Ultima (Drama, unknown cast. From imdb.com: "A drama set in New Mexico during WWII, centered on the relationship between a young man and an elderly medicine woman who helps him contend with the battle between good and evil that rages in his village.")
February 22 Inescapable (Drama with Joshua Jackson, Marisa Tomei and Oded Fehr)
February 19 Room 237 (Documentary. From imdb.com: "A subjective documentary that explores the numerous theories about the hidden meanings within Stanley Kubrick's film The Shining.")
…no decent trailer available…
It's official. I am madly in love with Meryl Davis.
I usually don't like seeing movies a second time within months, but with really good movies, I find I can appreciate how good they are the second time.
This Sat is 5 movies.
I've been working on the new movies thread for March, April and May and just had to give you a sneak preview of this movie:
April 26th - Pain & Gain - Action, Crime - Rebel Wilson, Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, Ed Harris and Ken Jeong
I don't think I've ever seen a movie that looks like it works equally well as an action/thriller as it does a comedy. It helps that Rebel Wilson (and Ken Jeong) are in the cast, but Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg have never been funnier. I'm wondering if this is going to be the kind of movie where everybody has a few favourite lines where they end up saying, "hey, how about when he said..."
It's official. I am madly in love with Meryl Davis.
PeterG, the first movie I ever saw Ms. Colbert in was the original Imitation of Life, which as a whole I liked better than the re-make. She's stunning in it, and every time I think of that movie I want pancakes. I would recommend it.
Reading about her is so interesting. She was such a peculiar person.
Just though I'd post a heads-up for anyone that is interested....
As part of USA Network's "Characters Unite" public service campaign, it will be airing Schindler's List this coming Saturday night from 8:00-11:18 (Eastern and Pacific). The broadcast will be entirely commercial-free with an introduction by Steven Spielberg.
Love tha movie! But unfortunately I do not have the USA Network.
Watched Forbidden Planet last night (again) It was on TCM.
Recently saw Oz and Jack the Giant Slayer. Liked both, but would recommend Jack over Oz, if you could only see one.
I just saw another trailer for Star Trek: Into Darkness. Every new trailer makes me more excited for it to come out.
"I think I saw what happens next It was just a glimpse of you Like looking through a window Or a shallow sea Could you see me? And after all this time It's like nothing else we used to know After all the hangers-on are done Hanging on to the dead lights Of the afterglow" Afterlife - Arcade Fire
Saw Dirty Dancing after a long time, on my TV. Can't remember the channel/network, but it was nice to see Patrick Swayze & Jennifer Grey again. Great chemistry, and I love the songs. I remember seeing it in a theater on campus in the late 1980s, and I became an instant fan of it.

I don't know what it says about me, but when a new book was sent to TPR called "Rest in Pieces," I was deemed the person to review it.
I have been in love with spooky stuff since I was about four and my horror movie collection is huge, but I think of myself as a fairly regular fellow. If you are lucky enough to read, retain and enjoy disturbing and arcane facts, this book is for you.
The race for San Antonio's City Council District 8 has been chock full of the usual campaigning techniques. Rolando Briones, Ron Nirenberg and Mike Kueber have participated in neighborhood association debates and town forums, they've walked the streets and they've been out doing community meet and greets.
But the heat is on between Briones and Nirenberg, and although Kueber isn't in the middle of the ruckus, he is taking the opportunity to ask questions of his own.
Businesses in agriculture are paying close attention to the water situation over the next few weeks as warmer temperatures approach, but other businesses with lesser water demands have little to worry about.
The overwhelming approval Wednesday of a bill setting aside state funding for water projects sparked conversation about water restrictions in metro areas. Some lawmakers argued that the money would benefit only rural communities.
Fronteras: Under the new Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, attacks against news agencies appear to have increased. A San Diego interpreter finds himself at the center of a tense international conflict, and it may have cost him his job. We examine how the lengthy drought has started a nasty legal battle over water rights between Texas and New Mexico. Semana Santa (Holy Week) continues and Mexican citizens are traveling to the U.S. in droves, boosting San Antonio's economy.
There are a handful of operas that define the genre; their time period irrelevant and their themes go to the very heart of the human condition.
We live with these creations daily without our knowing it and they are the very musical air we breath. They exist in the opera house, on the the concert stage (without scenery), in the recital hall (as excerpts, arranged for piano), in the elevator, on the radio, in the lightest cartoons and the darkest dramas - and yes, in the shower.
Gov. Rick Perry has asked for state funding to help airport control towers stay open after federal budget cuts take effect.
A week after San Antonio learned the tower at the historic Stinson Airport would be de-funded as part of sequestration, the governor made a plea to the Texas Transportation Commission to fund 13 of the small airport towers for 90 days. The Commission controls funding for the Texas Department of Transportation.
This week is Semana Santa (Holy Week), and it's a big week in Mexico - schools cancel classes and businesses take a holiday. It is also a big week for retailers in the Southwest United States because Mexican shoppers cross the border in droves.
For San Antonio it's one of the biggest weeks of the year for retail sales, and retailers have high hopes for this year's Semana Santa spending spree because of a powerful peso.

2014 Oakland Raiders Schedule
Sunday, 1:05 PM
Raiders Ticket Info
Last year was a tough one for the Oakland Raiders. They struggled to win only four games last season, two of which came against the lowly Kansas City Chiefs. But fear not Raiders fans, things are looking up for the franchise. They acquired quarterback Matt Flynn from the Seattle Seahawks who will likely be their starter when week one finally rolls around. Make your plans to be a part of the Black Hole this season to see the Oakland Raiders at the O.co Coliseum by ordering Raiders football tickets today from GoTickets.
Second year head coach Dennis Allen is out to prove that he belongs in the NFL by turning around the struggling Oakland franchise. He's got an experienced and talented Oakland Raiders roster to help him out. He'll certainly need it as Oakland has a tough 2913 schedule as the Redskins, Steelers, and Eagles all come to town, in addition to the AFC West rivals, including Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. Get your 2013 Oakland Raiders football tickets early this season before it's too late.
The O.co Coliseum, better known as the Oakland Coliseum, is far from being the newest or fanciest stadium in the NFL, but there's nothing like seeing a football game there. The Oakland Raiders fans are legendary for their support of their team, and if you want to join the craziest fans make sure you look for Black Hole seats. No matter where you want to sit, GoTickets has your Oakland Raiders tickets for every game this year.

It's technically not legal, and we basically have no clue what we're doing. We waste valuable work time watching. But for some reason, we just can't help ourselves.
Each year. Mid-March. Must be the dopamine. ...
"Hi, my name's John. I'm an addict. March Madness."
"Hi, John." ...
In case you're unaware, today, the Monday of tourney-opening week, is the day things really start cranking up. The brackets are out, and your office mate who loves running the pool will be around soon to ask for your dollar. Or $5. Or $10.
If you're halfway serious about this, you already have bracket in hand. You're wondering: Can that little school in Spokane, Wash., really pull it off?
We follow the NCAA men's basketball tournament because we love to gamble, we love an escape, and more than anything, it's a ton of fun.
Should we be worried about our addiction? And if you're an employer, should you sit back and let it all work itself out, or should you be worried about a lack of production?
Well, like anything in life, the answer is never black and white.
Let's face one fact: Some work time will be lost this week, particularly Thursday and Friday when games begin at 10 a.m., although it's impossible to quantify this kind of thing.
Or is it?
Challenger, Gray & Christmas, the "original outplacement company" (it basically helps people transition to a new job), does an annual study that supposedly does quantify this kind of thing.
The Chicago-based company estimates that March Madness will cost U.S. companies at least $134 million in lost wages during the tourney's first two days. That's assuming 3 million employees making $22.38 per hour (supposedly the average U.S. wage) spend one hour of work time watching tourney games each of the first two days.
With games available on television, by streaming on your computer and even on your smartphone, there's pretty easy access to basically every game. Of course, employees have similar distractions every day, with access to email, games, Facebook, fantasy sports and more.
It truly can be an addiction, said Brian Burke, associate professor of psychology at Fort Lewis College.
"For some people, the betting part can become a little bit obsessive," Burke said last week. "When we gamble, it affects our brain very strongly. We actually get a dopamine drip in our brain, in the limbic system, which is our emotional centers of our brain, and that's what causes addictive behavior.
"We get that drip when we get a Facebook message" or a text, or when we smoke marijuana, or when we gamble, he said.
Not only that, Burke said, but the advertisements we see during the tournament don't generally promote healthy behaviors. They're generally about sugar (soft drink products, for example), alcohol (yes, beer) and money (investment firms).
"In that sense, I think there's sort of a somber undertone to the whole thing," he said.
But he quickly shifted gears and put in a plug for his alma mater, the University of Arizona.
"I love March Madness. I watch it every year. ... I think there is an upside to it. It can promote workplace cohesion, and that is super important. Doing anything that maximizes positive contact between co-workers can be really important."
Durango businessman Phil Bryson said he has no problem with office pools. "If people don't go crazy about it, it's fun to have it going."
The key is to manage the distraction. As noted, those temptations exist every day, whether it's emails or fantasy football, he said.
"You've gotta manage all that or you're going to be in trouble," said Bryson, a former Washington state resident who truly is pulling for Gonzaga.
Jim Cross, associate professor of exercise science at Fort Lewis and former head basketball coach, says the NCAA tournament lures people in. Unlike most other sporting events, it rarely disappoints. The Super Bowl is sometimes a blowout, but March Madness always provides improbable comebacks, desperation last-second heaves and underdog winners. And all that "madness" means that skill goes out the window when picking winners.
"I don't think the term 'expert' applies to anyone ... because there's so many surprises and upsets. And that's what makes it so fun."
Cross, who is picking the University of Miami to win it all, said he used to run a pool in his classes and the students had fun with it. The winner would get extra credit or malted milk balls – no money, of course.
So, will the U.S. economy hit the skids between now and the April 8 championship game, as employees stream hoops from their desks? Maybe, but probably not. It turns out even Challenger, Gray & Christmas isn't worried: "At the end of the day, March Madness will not even register as a blip in the overall economy," John A. Challenger, the company's CEO, wrote in a March 13 news release.
But if your company's Internet connection slows to a crawl Thursday afternoon, you'll know why.

Mjolk Mini-Interview24/01/2012
Located in Toronto, Canada, Mjölk is a lifestyle boutique with a difference. Carrying a carefully curated selection of design goods from Scandinavia and Japan, it's uniqueness lies in it's honesty, When owners John Baker and Juli Daoust say they look to everyday life to find inspiration for the products they carry and that they take time in curating their products - they genuinely mean it.. this is a store packed full of the best lifestyle goods, not a store pushing a lifestyle. Life is important and that for that reason we shouldn't take it's tools lightly, why settle for the second best coffee, you should have the best! I spoke to John about the store and its roots.
Adam Bryce: What are your backgrounds? What talents do you each bring to the business?
John Baker: I believe that everything we've done in the past has somehow lent itself to what we're doing now. Juli studied art curation and photography at the Ontario College of Art and Design, and I spent a few years working at a local furniture showroom and manufacturer. Juli's time working as a curator and freelance photography helped getting us all the beautiful photos on our blog and website, as my time working with made to order furniture gave me a strong knowledge for materials, proportions, and a better understanding of how furniture is made.
AB: The home-wares market is saturated with disposability..how have people reacted to your very different way of doing things?
JB: I think people find it very refreshing, and if they're familiar with our mantra they put a lot of faith in the products we decide to carry in the store. We try our best to have as little in store competition as possible. If we have a tea kettle we try to find the best one instead of having 10 in different variations and colours. We mostly have positive reactions in the store, but the ones that are negative seem to be quite dramatic, a knee jerk reaction as it were. For some it takes time to digest what we're doing.
AB: Do you have your own personal favorites in the design world? What might they be?
AB: What kind of philosophy do you look for when you find a designer or are approached by one?
JB: Our criteria is pretty simple, first it has to be something that we connect with and would want in our own home. Next is if the product can find a place within the home, whether as a functional and/or beautiful object. The last thing we want to check is how the product is produced, we need transparency if we are going to recommend it to our customers.
AB: Will there be more stores? Are there other areas of function you would like to cover in the future?
JB: I think we're going to stick with the one location, in order to keep a high standard Juli and I need to be in control. We do hope to collaborate more with local makers producing a small collection of goods only available in our store. We're also looking forward to hosting more exhibitions in the near future, I like the idea of the store changing its clothes every once in a while, it keeps things interesting.

Over the last week we've seen a variety of reports on the sales of BlackBerry Z10 handsets. Some people say they've seen lineups. Others say not so much. And still others apparently think that if you don't generate lineups, your product is not in demand.
Case in point: The New York Times published this post on Wednesday. The headline of the article is "Lackluster Start for BlackBerry's New Phone in Canada".
Two main pieces of evidence appear to have driven this conclusion. Exhibit A: The Bell store in Ottawa's Rideau Center sold only 5 Z10s upon opening, and was quiet by 10:30 a.m. along with a Telus store, and smaller kiosks and electronic boutiques. Yet the Apple store had 20 customers in it. Exhibit B: Other media stories suggest there weren't lineups at most stores.
I'm puzzled. I just don't get how someone can write a story about "Lackluster" sales for a device based on early morning sales at a single Bell store, supported by the idea that there weren't many lineups at other stores across the country. I'm especially puzzled by this considering that Rogers was quoted saying, "We've seen great interest in BlackBerry 10 from our customer base" and also considering that every major carrier setup an effective online pre-order service.
But let's step back for a second. Are lineups a measure of success we should be looking at? I don't think so. It's not that cut and dry.
Here's a postulate I'd like to offer: Lineups usually form when more people want something than is potentially unavailable. Supply is thought to be less than demand. The people who lineup believe there is scarcity at play. When lineups do not form it's because this condition is not true.
Seems obvious, right? That's why it's called a postulate. It's based on logic and doesn't require proof.
So does a lineup mean you have a smash hit? No. Lineups just mean people want a product now and are worried they'll have to wait a bit longer if they don't lineup. Often times these lineups are good indicators for success.
Apple has conditioned a lot of people to believe that lineups are essential to success. Clearly the NYT has been indoctrinated into this faulty way of thinking. But much more often a consumer electronics product becomes a hit without us ever witnessing crazy lineups.
Look at Samsung. When they release a new Galaxy phone we tend not to hear about any significant lineups. In fact Samsung goes out of its way to make fun of Apple people for standing in lines. Remember this commercial? (embedded below)
Yes, Samsung sees lineups at some stores, some of the time. I'm not saying Samsung never sees customers get in a line. There are always some lines just like there were for the BlackBerry Z10.
But the absence of lineups are not a useful indicator of success. Have you ever seen someone write about the imminent failure of the Galaxy S3 because most stores had no lineups? Of course not.
There are countless other examples in the consumer electronics field. Lineups for new gadgets are actually not that common. They're only common for iPhones and iPads.
The evidence speaks for itself. Samsung, who is the #1 smartphone vendor in the world, doesn't generate the kind of lineup buzz that Apple-indoctrinated media have come to expect. If they don't need lines, why does BlackBerry?
It's time for people to clue in here. Yes, it's nice to see lineups. It's nice to see people so excited about your products that they'll wait in line to avoid waiting or to be among the first few to own one (novelty).
Lineups are usually a good sign. But the inverse is not true. All Apples are fruits. All fruits are not apples.
NamelessStar Feb 8, 2013 at 2:19 pm
lol love how biased analysts/journalists can really be they are so dumb its actually shocking
BBThemes Feb 8, 2013 at 7:05 pm
yup, sadly this only re-inforces the `protectionist` stance that the world periceives of the US since the apple v samsung lawsuit, and now the media bias against a non US company.
im not saying i agree or disagree with the views (although obviously id never tar everyone with the same brush), but the mainstream US media and judicial system certainly isnt helping.

I wrote to Ian Austin and Editors at the NYT (they forwarded my email to Austin)pointing out how biased the report was and that the mention of the Apple store showed the bias.
He wrote to me and essentially said that his article was factual and that the headline editor made the headline not him.
Kind of lame I thought. The headline editor's job is to capture the essence/ intent of the article. I also question his mention of the Apple store. Since Apple sells many products other than phones at their store why even mention it. Why not report how many people were in Loblaws which also sells phones and other products?
Austin also told me that BlackBerry had complained about the article.
The fact that the NYT published this crap does show what an uphill battle BlackBerry faces in the US.
We will no doubt see similar reports when (I hope it is when and not if) the Z10 drops here.
Poodwahr Feb 8, 2013 at 2:18 pm
The reporter is correct. There were no lineups for the BB10 after the initial hour.
You're missing the point of Chris's article... While the NYT reporter may have been factually correct about the general lack of lineups, his conclusion about there being low demand based on the lack of lineups was incorrect.
With lots of stores in Canada, you can sell tons of Z10s without having any lineups if people don't feel that they must lineup before opening (due to perceived scarcity) to have a chance to get the phone.
If there are 2000 stores in Canada, each being open for 9 hours per day, you could probably even sell over 100k phones in a day without creating much in the way of lineups, as that would only be 5-6 phones per hour per store.

Good read, I highly agree.
Line ups are for people too stupid to pre-order online.

Don't say that. I saw a video with Kevin in line on launch day!

bbbruva Feb 8, 2013 at 4:12 pm
I didn't line up for mine but I did go just after opening because I didn't want to have to wait til lunch and I was right to. They were sold out by lunch.
Schmidee Feb 8, 2013 at 2:29 pm
I didn't need to wait in line. Pre-order, track UPS and pick up after work at MY leisure. Sounds a lot better than waiting in line for hours.

Jtaylor1986 Feb 8, 2013 at 2:37 pm
Its unbelievable someone would actually wait in line for a product. I am a huge BB fan but I would never wait in a line let alone preorder one because whats the point? I can wait a week...
The_Original_Modifier Feb 8, 2013 at 10:38 pm
Same here. :D
BruvvaPete2 Feb 8, 2013 at 2:38 pm
NYT... isn't that the same garbage of a "newspaper" who were happy to show off the Dev Alpha A shown at BB Jam last year as the new BB10 phone when Thorsten clearly indicated it was a unit for developers? They had to retract that story. Morons.
It's pretty crappy that a store would have only five units available for sale. A walk through one of my local malls found none of the kiosks had a single BB10 phone and I saw just one dummy unit. How are you going to sell something that's unavailable to consumers who may be interested in a product? I found this same issue when the PB was initially launched. I couldn't find it anywhere. I called a local Rogers corporate store and was told they were sold out of the ten they were given. TEN?? WTF!? This one store should have been given at least thirty. It was pretty obvious from people who wanted to preorder the phone that there is a demand for it.
The_Original_Modifier Feb 8, 2013 at 10:39 pm

xravishx Feb 8, 2013 at 4:45 pm
Few have less merit than NYT. Are we really sure that we can call them unbiased journalists?
Iamanonymous62 Feb 8, 2013 at 2:47 pm
Until BB releases the early sales numbers, there will be continued speculation.
You should pass this article onto the News paper.
bizzyqu Feb 8, 2013 at 2:49 pm
nice post
I wish THIS article could be pasted on all those other articles' comment boards!
So true! What irked me the most about those "attempts at journalism" was that it was a store in Ottawa, in the morning during a work day. CMON! At least be smart enough to choose TO, the largest city, and check out a more student-populated area if you want to see lineups. That's like taking a lineup poll in Bangor, Maine.
PS, I love that commercial -- so funny
uncleebow Feb 8, 2013 at 2:54 pm
BB10 is running the so called big boys out of town and that's the naked truth. Everywhere you go in London you hear people talking about it.
TheStrider Feb 8, 2013 at 2:56 pm
Lets not forget the speed of businesses either. Even ours has yet to buy one. It takes time for them to do anything like this.
However we are looking at getting 10 within the next few weeks, and more when the Q10 comes out.. Everyone here is buzzing with excitement from the new phones. We are currently getting our BES10 running, and then we'll be going full speed.
Businesses don't wait in a line. We have the phones come to us when we choose.
darcy d Feb 8, 2013 at 3:00 pm
You cannot have lineups when it was all about Pre orders and that way you could pick it up on your time after work good thinking having preorder And way to go Blackberry on the way back to the top great phone I am switching from the iPhone way to bring out a better phone Blackberry you've done it
ayandakeith Feb 8, 2013 at 3:04 pm
Does the NYT understand how cold it is in Canada? Why tf would any sane human being line up in this frigid cold.?which dumbass would do that......?you know what? Never mind. We all know the answer and to that.
TWO ADDITIONAL points (in addition to the article) ALL of the talking heads also failed to think about (right: thinking isn't in their job description: talking IS!!) is that:
last week, as it is this week, it was EFFING WINTER here in Canada, with average outside temperatures between 25°F (high) and about 5°F (night) ...
I don't know ANYONE who would line up OUTSIDE for A N Y T H I N G in this weather ... ?
This isn't Miami or SanFran, where lining up in February means wearing a light jacket to stay comfortable.
MOST BlackBerry users either pre-ordered or thought "I'll pick one up on Saturday" when I'm at the Mall anyway ...
We're neither unemployed, nor students and standing in line for most of us Thinking Consumers (i.e. BlackBerry by Choice - because we've THOUGHT about it !!) is reserved for i)buying Coffee and ii) disposing of the coffee again an hour later. Occasionally also at the bank, for US customs when crossing the border, to get on the rides at Disney, and either at beer & liquor stores OR at the bar for same reason (then see earlier "coffee" point, above).
As for "me" there's no effin' way I'll line up for anything else ... especially ANY item I expect to be able to 'get' a day, week or month later.
I couldn't agree more with the article and was actually yelling at the TV when the morons were talking about "lack of lineups" ... blah, blah. blah, .... STFU!!!!
green_ember Feb 8, 2013 at 3:39 pm
Counterpoint for argument #1: in Canada, people would line up no matter what temperature for NHL playoff tickets, free Timmy Ho's, and beer lol
Thank you!!! +1000000000
Neromanceres Feb 8, 2013 at 4:37 pm
I wouldn't say that. Some of us Canadians are lineing up for other things:

nattie216 Feb 8, 2013 at 3:55 pm
Totally agree with this article. A line-up does not make a product. When I pre-ordered my BBZ10 online with Rogers, I was number 2,390 in line! When it came out on Tuesday I was like, "I'm not waiting that long to get one!" so I ran down to a Rogers store on Bay St. in downtown Toronto. There were probably about 5 people in front of me. The clerk said that they got in 50 phones and within an hour they were down to their last 10. I'm a BB fan but had been contemplating switching to a Galaxy if I didn't like the Z10...but when I saw it at the launch I was sold. Love it!
pididipop Feb 8, 2013 at 3:56 pm
People who wait in lines to get a new phone have far too much time on their hands. I waited until the second day just to ensure there were no lineups. If they sold out...I would rather wait than wait 2 or 3 hours in line. Quite frankly I don't understand the Isheep mentality.
Nice post. So true.
Where do these apple lines form too? I dont think they release products in such a wide distribution as RIM did, with as many carriers. I'm sure theres only a handful of apple stores that have the big line.
I stand in line to get into bars sometimes and I feel like an idiot and get pretty pissed at how long I have to wait. Its amazing apple has created this culture where people think its cool. I have a feeling its dying though since apples plateaued and haven't released any meaningful upgrades since the iPhone4 (and even thats debateable) and people are starting to catch on (wake up -great marketing campaign).
Its a good postulate. What other products to people line up for? And initial demand says nothing about longevity. I think Frank Boulben/BB knows they have a good product to market and is thinking about the long haul, word of mouth from this great devices will be the best way to sell more, and initial lineups will prove rather meaningless aside from the sheep-buyers.
Jonathank Feb 8, 2013 at 4:06 pm
I WORKED FOR SPRINT AND YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE LINE FOR THE PALM PRE LOL, LIKE 60 people at our store... You should have seen the line the next day for returns lol. Lines don't mean anything its the user experience so far good reviews on bb10 not surprised
Be patient and wait for the official sales numbers people. Everything else is just speculation.
Bolderholder Feb 8, 2013 at 4:21 pm
After I read the NY Times article, clearly they felt it was completely acceptable to generalize based on such a minuscule sample. So I suppose it's perfectly fine for me to do the same. I don't want To read more garbage like this so I deleted their NY Times app from my Z10. Clearly their articles are all this bad.
green_ember Feb 8, 2013 at 5:01 pm
Oh great, now they'll see a drop in active users of their app and assume BlackBerry must be the problem, not their yellow journalism lol
lol ..... that is true ... " People are dropping their apps from app world "
These bozo ( like Jim Cramer says ) reporters will eat up anything just to make a story.
Kendall Oei Feb 8, 2013 at 4:25 pm
Good point. When Z10 becomes available in the US, I will order mine online. If others stand in line to please the press, have fun!
AtInsider Feb 8, 2013 at 4:28 pm
Yes the Z10 had bad sales? LOL, when will people learn how to write proper articles based on FACTS not Opinions that they try and make into facts. How about the massive Pre-Orders that were shipped to PEOPLE? In less than 24hrs. Rogers had over 1300 pre-orders for the Z10 as soon as they announced they were taking Pre-Orders.
Bell and Telus had the same strong pre-order numbers. That is in less than a DAY.
At the end of the day, it's quite evident Apple, Google and Samsung along with these none fact based articles are all afraid of the new BlackBerry 10.
Why is this? Could it be because the new BlackBerry 10 brings new innovation, the best hands down QNX OS, speed, support, flow, balance, hub, peek etc., it's quite obvious they are Afraid, and now we can expect nonesense advertisements telling people that BB10 is nothing new lol, good luck, because people are not stupid. All you have to do is try the Z10 once, and you are HOOKED......
danimalchil Feb 8, 2013 at 6:01 pm
I don't know about waiting in line, all I know is that people are buzzing about the Z and the Q down here in Miami.
shebmiller Feb 8, 2013 at 6:40 pm
I would have lined up in the morning but see, I work and where I work is important enough that they would laugh at anyone lining up for a piece of tech. I was going to go at lunch time but all the stores close to my workplace were already sold out... but still, no line ups so I guess it's a huge fail and BlackBerry is going out of business...*facepalm*
Btw, I read this on my Z10's browser in reader mode... fantastic! I love this beast! I really feel sorry for my American brothers and sisters... patience friends... its worth the wait
Techno-Emigre Feb 8, 2013 at 7:04 pm
Thank you for your kind sympathy. Makes the waiting slightly less painful (big, sad sigh here) LOL. A month shouldn't seem that long, but it sure does somehow ...
ianchristie1972 Feb 8, 2013 at 6:43 pm
In reference to the NYT Exhibit A - "Exhibit A: The Bell store in Ottawa's Rideau Center sold only 5 Z10s upon opening, and was quiet by 10:30 a.m. along with a Telus store, and smaller kiosks and electronic boutiques. Yet the Apple store had 20 customers in it." Apple stores sell more than just iPhones. They also sell the MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Mini, MacBook Air and Mac Pro along with the iPod, iPhone, iPad and iPad Mini. Judging the number of people in a cell phone store versus a technology store is also comparing Apples to BlackBerries.
TheScionicMan Feb 11, 2013 at 12:18 pm
Don't forget the people waiting for their appointment at the Genius Bar...
Techno-Emigre Feb 8, 2013 at 7:18 pm
Nice article, Chris. Another piece to consider is the BB user vs. users of most other devices. My guess is that population is a little different in various countries. However, who is the average BB user in UK and Canada (knowing there are plenty of exceptions)? They might be slightly older and higher achieving so are educated and have jobs, are technically articulate enough to preorder, and would feel silly standing in line for a phone. Honestly, my kids stood in line to see a Harry Potter movie, but you would never catch me in one. I actually think the line is as much about the social experience of being with fellow fans as it is about getting the product first. Its a little party, and the type of fun that appeals to a certain demographic. There is nothing wrong with it at all. I just don't think it fits a lot of BB users in those countires.
Meanwhile, we have seen plenty of examples of pathetic "journalism" in the last couple of years. The story is as credible as the one about the person with two heads that just landed in a spaceship you can read in the tabloids standing in line at the grocery store. The author must have been absent on "check your facts", "objectivity" and "ethics" days in class.
We are all guilty of being biased..
Especially when we justify our personal preferences against others. I am a huge Blackberry fan but left them a few years back when I felt they weren't going anywhere for my needs and Apple was. Android.. Oh hell no, felt like I was in a sea of menu's upon sub menu, upon sub menu just to change a simple setting which an egg on his face sales person trying to sway me from my iPhone 5 upgrade experienced first hand in his Samsung Galaxy III demo. I am past the tinkering geek stage of my life, the only slogan I need to describe my phone choice is "it works" and "no fuss"
But point I am trying to make is we all have our needs and tastes, and its always evolving. We measure what we are willing to endure for a personal choice so to line up for a product is not a measure of its success but most likely a indication of a companies success in filling a specific need for a collective of individuals. We all have different tastes and its something we need to accept, why do we always feel we need to assert and defend it.
BBVegasGirl80 Feb 8, 2013 at 8:07 pm
Excellent and fair article, Chris. The NYT should learn a thing or two from you!
sklotz2000 Feb 8, 2013 at 8:25 pm
I've never observed a lineup of people waiting to by a copy of the New York Times. Does this mean they are failing and will likely go out of business?
My thought is that the reporter is upset because he owns Apple stock.... ;)
skrewball Feb 8, 2013 at 8:26 pm
Line ups are for suckas! I waited for mine to be delivered in my warm apartment!
NBARNETT Feb 8, 2013 at 9:22 pm
The reason there were no lineups for the z10 is because, unlike iphone users, Blackberry users have jobs...
JimCanuck Feb 8, 2013 at 9:49 pm
Spoke with a sales rep at the local Costco (Wireless Wave) Thursday afternoon. They had 3 left of their initial allocation of 50. Biggest issue was having the right quantity of Z10's locked to either Bell/Virgin or Rogers/Fido. Apparently very few left at other Costco's.
Former BlackBerry users were an easy sale. As expected a tougher sale to non-BlackBerry users.
Just as importantly this sales rep was pumped about the Z10 and well informed about its features. Obviously BlackBerry has done a good job of making sure reps have some training (I spent a lot of my working life training reps in retail distribution channels).
One potential customer came in because Costco had inventory and he was number 3,xxx in line for getting a "reserved" unit shipped from Fido.
Best indicator at the moment is BlackBerry's statement that the day resulted in sales 50% better than any previous product launch.

You made some good points, and I do believe that your correct. However I do believe the line ups on launch day are a good indicator of general interest/excitment for a product.
raortuno Feb 9, 2013 at 12:21 am
No one can deny the scope of an iPhone launch. It is a hugely popular device that brings many people to brave long lines to have one of the first. I myself have been overly excited about new iPhone launches in the past. The success of the Z10, Q10, and BB10 platform was never going to be seen immediately on launch day. They will need time to get into the hands of BB loyalists and reviewers and be seen and used by those with other devices. Once they get their hands on these devices and see firsthand the new OS and experience what it has to offer, then the converts will come. iOS is 6yrs old and Android has bugs. That being said, no one was going to drop their iPhone or Android based on one keynote presentation amid negative speculation and alarmist reports by the tech and mass media. This will take some time to mature, just like a good investment. Money and time, the key to BB10 success. And yes, I did buy some BB stock and plan on acquiring the Q10 here in the U.S. in order to do my part.
Asills2129 Feb 9, 2013 at 5:39 am

bsirvio Feb 9, 2013 at 8:25 am
Umi makes a bigger mistake, though, in assuming that the NYT is even bothering to make a good faith effort to report honestly. This isn't an example of an anti-BlackBerry bias; it's an example of poor and sloppy journalism. The Times has gotten good with this for a while now, and has been resting on its reputation for decades.
jarrodmeyer Feb 9, 2013 at 10:24 am
Thank you so much Kevin, I've been thinking exactly the same about the Apple/Samsung differences and how that relates to Z10 launch sales too!
Great to see it written about in such an informative and widely distributed way as this.
bbonfire Feb 10, 2013 at 11:46 am
Most reporters are either 24-36 hours too late in the same old regurgitation gathered from other reporters. These reporters who sit behind their desks re-hashed from other news reports of the day. They are next in line to go in terms of redundancy. Live event reporting or live tweeting seems to be the fad of today's event....

It's pathetic how Apple has a grip on the media & influence their thinking. I wonder how many of these ppl in the mainstream media have actually tried other device brands & also wonder if these ppl have received free products from Apple. CNET is terrible for being bias against everything that is not Apple, it's absolutely pathetic for a company who reports on Tech to act this way. I absolutely hate Apple & their products for many many reasons but if they come out with something good I'll give them credit where it is due. Will Apple fans do the same, in most of the cases

How CIOs Can Drive Growth In The Food & Beverage Industry: Three Supply Chain Innovation Opportunities
The role of chief information officers (CIOs) at consumer packaged goods companies historically has been to deliver efficient and unfailing systems at the least cost. Information technology has been viewed as a cost of business instead of a driver of strategy and a means for profitability and advancement. However, for Food & Beverage companies that need to support business growth and competitive differentiation, this approach is clearly antiquated.
The Importance Of An Effective Sales Force In The U.S. Shipping Marketplace
Today's U.S. domestic package express market is characterized by tepid growth, a downshifting by shippers from premium overnight services to lower-yielding deferred services – from air to ground. Additionally, the service standards and offerings of the major carriers have become homogenized to the point that they are more alike than ever before. Archrivals UPS® and FedEx® now publish rates for many services that are virtually identical, as are their service offerings. Most of the competition today between these two giants focuses on large accounts and increasingly complex contract negotiations over the discounts and incentives these accounts are offered.
Acuity Or Ratio: How Do We Properly Staff Our Organizations With Nurses?
By Barry P. Chaiken, MD, FHIMSS
As the healthcare industry shifts to value-based reimbursement and the associated reduction in reimbursement rates, hospitals look to cut costs throughout their organizations. With labor accounting for more than 60 percent of all hospital costs –nurses, who make up the bulk of those costs – find themselves shouldering the burden of labor-related cost reductions. These cost cutting activities manifest themselves through a reduction in staffing, leading to a decrease in nurse-patient ratios and the employment of less experienced professionals at lower salary levels.
