Not working here in Columbus, OH.
Was messing with trying to update Pandora on my dad's 3GS, and was getting frustrated because it'd just sit on Waiting, and wouldn't show the "Purchased" option at the top of the Update section.

I think there are a lot of firsts this go around - we won't know until they either release it or announce the date. They don't have to announce it anymore. You used to be able to pre order it so it would ship and arrive the day it was released (and sometimes a day before). Now anyone can get it the day of. Plus, it might be easier on their servers if they don't announce. That way people can download it as they find out throughout the day and not all be ready to go at x:xx pacific.
My guess is no pre announcement.
LOL....He's saying that by reading what he said, time just elapsed off the overall time until Lion is released...It was a clever way to say something...
I don't know enough about this - could they be linking their stores to the new data center? It was on before but not connected? Now they're connecting it? I think they're getting ready for a lot of people to download a 4-5 GB OS and they don't want to be creamed.
Joke (but not funny...)
What's worse then using slow internet trying to download 4-5GBs?
slow internet trying to download 4-5GBs and a bottlenecked server! Yikes!!!
He means that anything in the future will get closer as time goes on. For example, the release of Mac OS X 10.8 is closer than it was when you started reading this sentence. Of cours, it's still several years away.

My guess is that it will replace iCloud on the homepage with an OS X Lion etc pic "Now Available Only at The Mac App Store". This will cause all the people who think they have a 4G iPhone to go down to an Apple Store only to find out there are no retail boxes.
I doubt we will see a pre announcement. Just a come n get it on the Apple homepage. And of course front and center in the Mac App Store.

Works perfectly fine here.
Why would the Apple online store need to go down to release a new product?
Down for me
Its currently down for me late last night around 1AM it went down and came back up and on the right hand side it stated iWork 11 and Mac OS Lion, when I clicked on them it took me nowhere, and then when I restarted the store they were gone. They were just placeholders and Apple was prob working on something behind the scenes but it got me excited for a few minutes. I can't wait for Lion
EDIT: Its back up and working, must have been a hiccup or they were doing something quickly behind the scenes again
