Given that parts of the Apple store are down: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?threadid=9357

What does everybody think about a midnight release. Hurry only four and a half hours and we'll know.

Half an hour? What time zone are you in??? :p

I'm on Apple (Pacific) time and it's 7:33 here. About four hours and thirty minutes.:cool:

[drastik]

oh man, I'm out of it, I'm thinking backwards, sorry bout that, I'm fixin it.

[Rower_CPU]

I'll tune back in around 11:30...if I stay around 'til then I'm gonna go nuts.:D

I think I started the rumor of a midnight release - but that would mean it would be 9 PM Cali time and like 6 or 7 Hawaii Time. If its an early morning release, I thinking its going to be 12 AM Cali time.

And the stores are up and running, with no new stuff.

Right now it's 22:57 EDT and therefore it's 2:57 GMT, yet this system is showing 3:57 GMT. (One must be careful because England is in British Summer Time and therefore London is one hour ahead of GMT.)
:eek:

i thought the new powermacs were coming out midnight anyway? oops, i started a new thread a few minutes ago about it, check it out:)

[teabgs]

I seriously doubt a midnight release...unless its of the Time Canada Persuasion :p

maybe an 8:45am EST release...hehe thats still early

As someone noted, the AppleStore has been up and running, without any noticeable changes or glitches. Usually the AppleStore being down is the surest sign that something's gonna get updated soon but no dice.

At the moment it is 11:18 Central Time and the Apple store site is not loading.

That's interesting. I'll have to keep checking in on Apple's Store to keep me up 'till 2PM Central. I'm playing my radio, too, man. Zzzzzz. :o

[Chaszmyr]

Still 2 hours until midnight... They would have plenty fo time to update even if they hadnt started yet

[ThomasB]

when they go down to update. The will be a little post-it-note saying (well it wont talk, you will have to read it) "We'll be back soon". Or something to that effect.

Well, it doesn't seem to be going down that way. Maybe Steve is releasing them on the 14th just to prove all the rumors sites wrong.

[sparkleytone]

guess not :(

this is turning into a bad habit. i need to sleep.

[Urdam]

They will hopefully have the update tomorrow at 9AM. I have my fingers crossed.

For UK guys wanting time to San Jose look at:

If they launch at 9am its 5pm for us, etc....

Hate to disappoint y'all, but it's 1:17 AM PDT, with no sign of change on the horzion. Hell, the Crystal Clear promotion hasn't even been taken down yet.
