Good thing it's a leap year. Apple promised to ship its Time Capsule wireless backup device in February and made that deadline by two days.

As for Apple Stores, they're missing the deadline: "We don't have them yet, but hopefully in the next few days, maybe over the weekend," a clerk in the Burlington, Mass. store told me. [Macworld]
