Is the iTunes Store App Store down?

Is the iTunes Store App Store down? I am able to browse the iTunes Store home but when I try to access App Store, Music, Movies, etc., I get this iTunes message: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again."

I was able to access the App Store 2 days ago, and I am also getting the same message on my other computer. However, when I called Apple Technical Support, the agent said that they don't have any problems on their end.

Anyways, I'm just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue before I troubleshoot further, i.e. firewall settings, etc...

After disabling my firewall and hooking my computer directly to the cable modem, I still had the same issues. So, I called Apple Technical Support again and was advised that they are having issues on their end.
