Lion Launches Tomorrow On Mac App Store

[daship]

Wow, damn you charter give me some better uploads 🙁 oh well I never seed anything, but I do upload 18M photos online from my Canon 7D.


I want 30Mb up 🙁

Oh well this test was done while streaming HD netflix to the 360 Im usually 45 avg down. I can't complain to much when I only pay for 25Mb.

Ready Here 😀 SPEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!

Geez! You got those speeds in DC? I'm in DC with Verizon also and mine isn't even remotely close to that.

Reports on Twitter OS X Lion will be made available for download in the next 24 minutes.

That's ludicrous, but it's due to it being midnight in New York, best bet is that 3 hours and 24 minutes.

 

[skitzogreg]

Circulating reports show that the servers are live in 15.

I'm actually about 35 minutes from DC. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Will we be able to install Lion on multiple Macs?

Circulating reports show that the servers are live in 15.

And where exactly are these "reports" coming from?

 

[KillerTree]

Anyone else think new MacBook Airs won't be released tomorrow? Something concrete should have been leaked by now.

That's what I'm hearing too.

Twitter feeds. Not credible, but they're there.

Only through the App store and your Apple ID.

I'm in MD as well with Verizon and I get this 🙁

[BlackMangoTree]

New hardware doesn't seem like it will happen tomorrow 🙁

 

[Stitch33]

I'm hoping that I can use Hawaii time to my advantage 😉.

 

[Redbeard25]

While we're all waiting...

Comcast Nashvegas "regular" tier.

 

[monts]

Guess its worth hanging around home for another half hour or so before heading off to work to see if all the rumours are true.

 

[Stitch33]

If that's a B+, then I wonder what my internet grade would be....

 

[miamialley]

I'm ready.

Though it wish it were iOS 5. Boy is THAT a sign things are changing...

 

[geoffism]

speee.... aww schite!

Just for kicks, I tested out each browser...

FF - 3.89 down, .45 up
Chrome - 6.15 down, .49 up
Safari - 7.12 down, .48 up

I'm on TWC in NYC... which means if the down load starts in 8 minutes, I'll be lucky if its done by breakfast.

Happy Lion Everybody!

 

[ohbrilliance]

FCK youse!! haha, here in australia we might have iPhones on like 5 carriers and a better dollar than the US. BUT my internet connection is 512kbps down 128 up...... We here in aussieland have slow internet.

Not all of us. Here is Aussieland I'm getting 15Mbps/0.9Mbps.

 

[DirtySocks85]

I don't get why everyone is so convinced this is going to be a disaster and slow down the entire internet. I for one doubt the average Mac user is champing at the bit to upgrade Lion on release day, considering the recent article about iPhone 4 owners thinking they have 4G. Most of them probably don't even know Lion is being released, or that it's an App Store-only purchase.[/QUOTE/]

Good point.

As someone new to computers (bought my first computer 5/10), had I not stumbled on MR 6 months ago (and become a daily reader), I never would have known as much about Lion.

It is true, however, that when you open Safari, Lion will be plastered all over the Apple home page. So even the "average user" will become aware of the Lion launch if they open Safari tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to some fun with Lion. 😀

Only if they use the default browser with the default homepage, but I guess that's something the average user does.

And since some of use seem to be playing the bandwidth game, here's where I stand right now:

Just looked at my internet speed and guess it will take a bit longer over here to dowload
