If I was at my parents house it would be around the same so I'm not going to laugh.

2 hours and 57 minutes left, until, MAYBE the release, 12-midnight PST.

or 7 hours and 57 minutes, until the rumored 8:30 EST release.

12am here in OH. Not posted to App Store

You know, apple is probably not sitting there with a stopwatch. If it comes out now, then it might be +10min

 

[marshallbedsaul]

Lion OS X should start showing up anytime now on the servers. It may take a while due to cached versions of pages and search results.

 

[BlackMangoTree]

How about scrapping Lion and posting some hardware updates.

 

[dball4]

I think it is time for bed, I can't stay up all night since I have work in the morning, goodnight all

No it shouldn't. They specifically said it would be released tomorrow. It's still 7/19 in California, which is not tomorrow.

 

[deosaa7]

Why would it be 12:00AM EST? I don't get it, I mean that would benefit me since I am I live in NC/NY but seeing as Apple is based out of California I cannot fathom as to what reason it would be released 12:00AM EST and not PST. Thoughts?

You could have said it was NSFW, *******.

It has already been confirmed on Twitter Lion launches at 12:00AM EST. But it's not as simple as pressing a button it takes time to rebuild App Store pages. Everything is cached for performance reasons.

LOL oh, if you are at work, you should probably be working

 

[kdimitt]

This is what universities are for.

Probably would've been higher if not for the 100 Mbps Ethernet switch, heh.

Wow, what university do you go to? I'm transferring.

 

[daship]

Hell YEAH!!! Its up, and I'm downloading it not 6 mins to go

 

[mackingit]

8:30 Release seems likely

It makes sense to release it at 8:30 on a wednesday instead of at midnight. While many of the so called fanatics will download lion the second it appears on the app store, most of us will have to go to work tomorrow morning. An early morning release would ease the tension on Apple's servers. I'm actually surprised they announced the release date. They must either be extremely confident in that new data center or intentionally want the servers to fail to create a media buzz.

I know that I get all my Apple news from Twitter. The Internet and in particular Twitter is the place Apple goes to announce release dates/times.

 

[syedhussain]

I am also going into my first year in college, don't mean to brag but full scholarship to Nova Southeastern University in Ft.Lauderdale as a legal studies major. C/O 2015!!!
