Apple's FaceTime and iMessage service went saw downtime Friday morning, the second such outage this week. Today's outage only lasted from 10:45 AM to 12:07 PM, but the outage on Tuesday lasted for five hours and affected the same programs. Other Apple services were not affected, and the App store remained open.
The status of Apple's online services can be tracked via the company's System Status page. Normally short outages aren't considered news, but when it's the second such disruption in the span of a week it's worth mentioning.
