A Turkish-speaking (albeit based in London) Muslim compromises a system in an (already paranoid) NSA infested corporation, apparently reports it to them, yet doesn't get the immediate response or recognition he feels he deserves. We don't know up to that point whether any personal data was compromised in the initial breech/experiment/proof of concept (dress it up how you like - but still a crime as far as the US authorities are concerned). If the hackers side of the story is true, he afterwards compromised personal data then then went ahead and posted a video online apparently proving it. Even if we give the hacker the benefit of any doubt and trust his side of the story that the data wasn't passed on, is anyone really surprised the server was taken off line?
Fanboyism aside, Apple has told developers to stop using the web framework that the iTunes Store (including App Store) is based on, but they haven't followed that advice themselves.
They do seem to be a fan of Google web tools to create compiled Java code. It saves time and needs a heck of a lot less knowledge. Nothing wrong with that.
Actually, skip that comment.
I even doubt the server problem belongs to them. Someone will probably have the contract. Unlikely but it could even be Google's fault.

It could be logical to be only IOS 7. News reports are scant.They simply refer to iPhone activations been down.
Theres been lots of silly reports about. Balic even got blamed for developers password resets.
Just 1 single iPhone Activation problem means click bait news.
It is likely just fools still installing IOS 7. A developer account link is needed!
Much of it is back up now though it is a small puzzle that the developer forum are still down, at least last time I looked.
Forums seem low risk so I expected that to be one of the first up.
this strange anti apple fetish is getting beyond tiresome
all companies have problems, no one is perfect, we know
True, but Apple has long had an irritating superiority complex, with many Mac owners regarding themselves as the chosen few, so it is not surprising to come across the odd bit of Schadenfreude when things go tits up in Cupertino (as they increasingly will now that Jobs has kicked the bucket).

If its a Java compromise it will lye with Oracle.
I understand the links between the developer servers and the phones so just maybe that is a sign of something about to properly kick into gear.
Really, you are trying to figure out things on whether or not IOS7 servers are working?

It was (is? not sure if it's resolved yet) not isolated to iOS 7. It was a problem with iOS 6 as well.
