John Gruber thinks that it is bad news since Apple Store was also down.
Obviously his spidey sense is either off or he doesn’t have one at all; John Gruber is not Peter Parker. Apple Store went back online right after Midnight on Sunday July 21, 2013.
During this period, Apple ID site is still working without interruptions.
Apple is expected to release iOS 7 beta 4 and OS X Mavericks Developer Preview 4 on Monday July 22, 2013; based on two week release schedule. Apparently many sites are reporting the obvious as news.
At this point our Apple contacts are either saying nothing or unreachable (out of the country).

Office 2011 14.3.6 Update
Microsoft releases Office 2011 14.3.6 Update on Tuesday July 16, 2013.
This update provides the latest improvements in Office for Mac 2011. These include the following:
- Message sending in Microsoft Outlook for Mac
This update fixes an issue in which Outlook repeatedly tried to send messages that exceeded certain server-side size limits from the Outbox. Now, messages that exceed these size limits are put in the local Drafts folder after three unsuccessful attempts to send the messages.- Syncing a folder from which lots of messages were deleted in Outlook for Mac
This update fixes an issue in which syncing a folder from which many messages were deleted on another client frequently caused Microsoft Outlook for Mac to freeze.- Saving files to a Server Message Block (SMB) share in Microsoft Word for Mac
This update fixes an issue that causes Word to be unable to save files to an SMB share.
For some reasons I didn’t get the update until today.

This is going to take a while
It’s a computer running Windows 7 with tons of services failed to load. I suspected that there was something wrong with the file system. So I scheduled a Check Disk.
