Apple updates - Affect on network

Wed Oct 12 21:05:45 UTC 2011

There are a fair number of reports of Apple's update servers being 
down/intermittent.  I imagine that's probably fairly inevitable on 
launch day.  If people haven't already updated and are thinking about 
doing it, it's probably worth holding off a day or two just in case.
