Yeah almost all of them ... but always the last Friday of the month. Does Apple have the power to call this the last Friday of the month?
Every iteration of OS X I remember has been released on a Friday. Here's to tomorrow's release of Lion!
i think apple might want to release this either now before their earnings next tues or right after. they know what they have sold so i feel if their earnings will be good and they know it they will release before as long as all the submissions are in. if they know it might be around what people projected they might do it that day or the day after to soak up any hit they might get from it. i feel like their earnings will be pretty high looking at some reports but you never know.
i would really like tomorrow as i will be a counselor at a music camp at my college next week and wont have any time to play with lion until after.
Don't count on pass patterns. If that was the case, more likely lion would be August / September / October.
But it's coming.
(iPhone is an example of not following patterns / iOS, we didn't see the annual update model like the past)

Apple can do whatever they damned well please. They could release the software on Sunday if they wanted.
Sorry, I'm a bit slow tonight, kidding about not knowing that apple have released OSs on Fridays in the past, or kidding about the app store approvals potentially being a sign that a release is imminent?
The GM has been released ages ago, getting apps updated in the app store seems to be a logical last step in the OS release schedule, no?
Ah right, well, I'm afraid I wasn't kidding, I really didn't know. Shame on me.
so... os x lion ... hurry
in the mean time is os xi going to have all dog names? pitbull, dachshund, Chihuahua, greyhound etc?

Full screen apps in Lion disappointing
I had a chance to try Lion at a friends house. He has two screens connected to his MacPro. The really annoying thing is that if you put an app into full screen mode the second screen is useless. Whatever app is displayed on the second screen is covered by a gray background image so that you have no access to that app (as long as there is an other app running in full screen mode). Also if an app window is on the second screen and you put it in full screen mode it jumps to the main screen (the screen with the menu bar) and renders the second screen unusable. So for people with two or more screens connected to their Mac this feature is basically useless.
To illustrate this, here is an example: In Snow Leopard my friend often used to play some music video in full screen mode on his second screen using QuickTime X while at the same time doing work on the main screen. In Lion, QuickTime X refuses to go into full screen mode on the second monitor, it only goes to full screen mode on the main screen, and of course the second monitor is inaccessible.
So it seems Apple made this feature useful only for single screen setups.

Mhhh sounds like a bug to me, i would suggest feeding it back to apple in a bug report...
Using the App
"Apple Approving Mac App Store Apps for OS X Lion"
Couldn't use the letters/term 'app' any more than in this sentence

Getting on the Mac App Store, I was surprised to see a new flow of Apps being represents as the new and noteworthy, As well with Final Cut Pro and other Apple Applications not being the center of attention on the stores main page.
Since everyone is speculating a release date, you can use this to help your case or break your case.
Personally I think its totally possible that it will be released sooner than later.

I'm just waiting for Reeder to become Lion-ready. Best RSS app there is for Mac, iPhone and iPad!
I've seen complaints about that since the first beta, but its never been changed. Unfortunately, Apple probably considers it a "feature".
Of cause. It's just not Mac-Rumors if there is no 2nd page news stories put on incorrectly on the front page.
I dislike how "full screen apps" is listed as a feature
Why's that?
It is something different from other versions of Mac OS X, so it is in fact a new feature. It also allows for the use of a completely different UI for interacting with applications.
Point missed...
The point of full screen is focus; the removal of distractions so you can concentrate on the task at hand.

Apple just sent out an email about the current student promotion again.
If that was sent this morning, does that mean we're not looking at a release today?
