New Rumor- July 15th?

My opinion: There's a definite possibility of the OS being released tomorrow, alongside anything else. However, there is a strong chance that this will not occur. In other words: We don't know when the OS will be released.
The reason why there's a good chance it could be released tomorrow is because we're already into the second half of the promised release month. So any day could be the day.
In all likelihood I'm looking at the 19th or the 26th. I'll be on vacation on the 26th, and if they release it on the 19th with the Macbook Airs I'll have to be lucky enough to get my spec'd choice (otherwise I'll have to order one and pick it up when I return from holidays).
I'll be waking up early tomorrow and on Saturday, as well as Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all following... basically every day for a while... just to check the Apple website and head out if they do make a major release without any forewarning.
But these rumors aren't solid at all... they have no backing... they were fun at first, but it's getting annoying when these sites go ahead and cite rumors that were started by someone who wanted a little attention. It'd be nice to have more rumors that have actual proof backing them up 😀 Ex: The rumor of Thursday (today) being the release was backed by a couple of other rumors (do not open packages, and overnighter); but the packages and the overnighter were rumors in and of themselves... so we're just stacking rumors on top of rumors and getting nowhere. Let's start with a teeny bit of fact first! 😀 Then we can start making some inferences as to when the release should be intelligently rumored to be.

Lion Release 7/15?
So I know this is just another thread about the release of Lion, but I checked the time in China and it's about 6:30AM there and then I checked the Chinese version of www.apple.com, it says it is being held in the mac app store in July. Does this means it's out? But they're just holding it? I hope it comes out tomorrow. 🙂 Btw if you want the Chinese website for it, here it is.

I'm pretty sure using Google Translate won't give you a 100% correct translation. I'm pretty sure it says the same thing as the English version of their site, just in Chinese.
That being said, I really hope it does come out tomorrow though!

he/she referencing (pointlessly) that in America, we state month, then date, whereas elsewhere they state date, then month. So to him/her, the OP's thread title "7/15" is asking if Lion is coming on the 7th day of the 15th month.

i found an article that says lion might be released before the 19th
www.ibtimes.com/articles/180334/.../os-x-lion-release-date-apple.htm
www.ibtimes.com/articles/180334/.../os-x-lion-release-date-apple.htm
From the article:
Since analysts are saying it, we can safely assume they are wrong. 🙄
Edit: The article they are referring to at Geek.com cites the Chinese article. And the above reasoning for releasing it before tuesday was just a guess on the part of the Geek.com writer.
So, nothing to see here.

Just walked past the flagship Apple store in London, they had the windows blacked out but lights were still on, looked like they were giving the store a facelift. Tomorrow is the day I think.

If you are going to get your hopes up every time someone says they think it might be tomorrow, you need to get off this forum NOW!
