Hey, hey, remember 2 hours ago, when that guy said he'd read on twitter it was gonna be 20 mins? That was the funniest thing that will happen all day.

Ohh 2 hours ago... you were a better time
 
No I didn't, you guess right. I am not a troll, I dont get my kicks buy ********ting everyone. I am sitting here refreshing just like everyone else.

Its the second time tonight I have seen it, if it comes up again Ill grab a copy.

So you saw it the first time, you said:"Oh! A new banner" and then hit refresh and did it again the second time. Good one.
What was the banner about, anyway?
 
i wonder how many idiots are sitting in front of their macs waiting for lion and refreshing the page every 5 seconds.
 
Breaking News - This just in: Lion will not be released as planned. All hardware updates will be put on hold until Hyena launches summer 2013!
 
Got you beat :)

Sad thing is I drove all the way back to campus just to use the university's network and now I'm all alone waiting for Lion.

I imagine at that speed, it'll take 5 secs to download?

Pathetic UK speeds, I get 1! If i'm lucky

Its up again and down again, I got screenshot this time, give me a sec

Please don't. What do you think the world will gain from a screenshot? Why do people think the world cares about what they see when they refresh the Apple website?

What difference does it make if you see a pear appear on apple.com? Or a cheetah? Or even a LION? :confused:

It is much more interesting to read things like "Downloading now. 0.008% done. I'll keep you guys posted." (looking for the sarcasm tag, but failed)
 
I have been following the thread all night, I am a longer time lurker of MacRumors. I finally decided to register to express my frustration at waiting ALL night! It's not almost 6:30 AM here in Missouri.

Hurry up, Lion, I'm tired!

I highly doubt I'll be able to utilize the enitre bandwith towards the app store server. But even at 100mbps a 4gB file should be downloaded in a little over 5 minutes.
 
Has anyone ever wondered whose going to replace arn for macrumors when he gets old... i don't think i would trust macrumors if arn wasn't in charge...
