Lion Launches Tomorrow On Mac App Store

What iOS 5 should have is a alarm that goes off when apple releases stuff... that way i could fall asleep and be woken up when apple is ready (instead of playing this waiting game).... but i guess the "Reminders" app is a good step towards that.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's released around WWDC time. Usually around 6pm in the UK - which is over 5 hours away.

give it some time... it will be on 9 PST. (its still 4:30ish PST) The cupertino boys have to come in and have a small party with the big bosses first. a few glasses of wine and some cheese :)
 
Been up all night waiting for this baby! (I usually stay up until 4, it's 6:30 CNT)

WHERE ARE YOU LION!!?!?

I was thinking the same thing. Most of the time when an update or something like that is going to be released, it arrives in the evening here (19.00 NL)
But curious as i am, still keep refreshing!

Waiting desperately for Lion to come out of course.

I think it will be a little historic. I'm usually skeptical about such large claims, but I think Lion will be remembered as the first step in integrating iOS and Mac OS, in a very different way to Windows approach. From a UI stand point, its the single biggest innovation since the advent of graphical window based computing and the mouse. It seems like Apple are leading the way in ways that Microsoft could only have dreamed of, in terms of making personal computing as easy as possible for as many people as possible (though most people have trouble even with iOS, I have seen, it's still a little scary for them for some reason).

I know it sounds like hyperbole but the bridging of iOS and Mac OS, with the unified multitouch interfaces, seems to be one of the most incredible (or at least most instantly noticeable) innovations Apple has ever pioneered. Surely the industry copying these innovations, or even driving Apple out of business by using their ideas, is a great step forward for humanity as it shifts the way people interact with computers in a way that could have taken decades with Apple first proving that these innovations can be wildly successful. I think Apples horrible closed system approach to iOS is more than justified because of the improvements it offers the world. Apple can't stay in charge forever, can't see how it would be possible for Apple to continue this level of quality and innovation indefinitely, certainly without Jobs. Here's hoping he lives forever and starts warming up to some kind of humanism ideals to charity and his fellow man.

Damn, I shouldn't get high and post with all this Lion buzz :rolleyes:
 
Justin Wagoner "iJustin" also waiting for Lion.

Hello everyone, I'm sitting here at my desk waiting for release of Lion as well, but I read yesterday that it won't officially go on sale until 8:30AM Eastern Time. At least thats what was the rumor before the official announcement from Apple in the afternoon.
