Whirlpool Down?
I just tried to access Whirlpool and I got "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)". Is it down?

Down here to. Was really sudden as well. First time I was there in a couple of months, and this happens! I guess it'll teach me to stay away

Especially at the start of this year, whenever the Apple Store website went down in preparation of some new amazing device/price etc, it became an injoke for someone sooner or later to suggest that the new device could be a Powerbook G5.

Due to processor problems, the Powerbook range of Apple laptops never adopted the G5 PowerPC processor - stopping at the G4 chip. Apple however kept promising a G5 Powerbook...

To actually understand this 'joke' properly, I think it's best for the time to be after 1am, and perhaps following the ingestion of a few beers...

Which I believe was going to have a free copy of 'Duke Nukem Forever' installed.

BTW it looks like WP is back up.

'powerbook g5' is a tired old dog of a joke, but damn it's fun to wheel out for a spin every now and then.
