New Rumor- July 15th?

US store is showing the lion in the back to school promo where that guy or girl is but the macs underneath still show snow leopard.

http://store.apple.com/us/browse/campaigns/back_to_school?aid=www-naus-bts2011-0526-14

would apple really wait an entire week because of the "bug" is resume and have these backgrounds up on the site?

EDIT: now i see snow leopard on the peoples computer. i think it changes as its been on and off. weird

Interestingly, there are two things happening:

a) Apple added qlt=96 as parameter for loading images to display Lion instead of SL (using qlt=95). Not many people would have noticed that, as long as the html-code does not use the qlt=96 parameter to display images yet. Apple might have started this process a while ago.

b) some images are starting to display Lion even with the qlt=95 parameter, e.g. on http://store.apple.com/us/browse/campaigns/back_to_school initially the four model images all had SL images, 10 minutes ago Air&iMac started using Lion images while keeping qlt=95 as parameter, and while I'm typing this post the MBP has switched to Lion too.

Obviously Apple will update the start page last, and start updating the smaller stuff which most people won't notice. Let's assume Apple needs a day for such a process, why did they start a few hours ago if Lion isn't launching this weekend?

I noticed that to. Some images don't have the 'qlt' and must be probably overwritten by new images.

and maybe this weekend means they will do it later tonight while traffic is low to keep the servers ok. i wish we knew if that resume bug was confirmed. bc if it is we should expect a golden master 2 later today or sometime mon. if not then i dont see them waiting a week while updating all of this stuff now. maybe lion tonight and hardware mon which will make for a nice stock boost for the earnings tues :D
 
SLOOOOOOOW Download of Mini Ninjas!!!

I put password in, it jumped out onto dock, but has had a white loading bar for 15 minutes, does this mean that Lion testing for downloading at Apple is preventing other apps from downloading????

Oh sorry, I was downloading porn

On a serious note, it could be that or the fact that it's now after the usual workday in two of the US timezones and people like us refreshing + the people actually buying apps are slowing it down
 
Sharing Lion with "authorized" machines...

Wouldn't it be possible to download Lion onto one computer, then go to say a MBP or another iMac and log into my MAS, click on purchases and download it to their computers???

Yes, I believe you can install on as many computers as you want as long as you have signed in with your account.
 
it looks like some pictures are out too now :)

EDIT: i refreshed about 5 times and its the same so its not a loading error

Looks like they removed the Lion pictures then...

Any image with parameter qlt=96 is now gone - also for non-US sites, which use the same promo images.

Well, we can now assume Apple isn't planning to release Lion in the next hours, otherwise they wouldn't remove the new images from their servers.
 
But why would they release it this late? I'm still hoping that it comes out today, but I'm doubtful.

It could come out in an hour from now...don't forget, Apple released the iPad 2 5PM PST on a Friday.

That's what I'm holding onto as the last hope for today, after 8PM EST I'll be closing my mac and playing Playstation until its out lol

I just wish Apple would "leak" the build number they'll be using for release, that way we'd know if we can just put GM on production machines now lol
