You took the words right out of my mouth. It always bothers me when I see/hear "All they have to do is push a button and release the news!"

Its really not as simple as that.

3 minutes to go. Doesn't look like its going to happen. For a timed release, I'm still holding off for 9 AM Apple Time on whatever day they decide to release.

If the Apple store is pulling an all nigher tonight, that would mean it would not be able to come out at 9:00 Apple Time because the cat would be out of the cage as soon as the first Apple Store opened.

It's all down to some stupid person who thinks they know it all, then we all crowd round this thread expecting something to happen (hence the 4 pages in it).

Yesterdays' rumours are just as bad - 6 pages and counting.

We were punked, the rumor prob came from some kid in his basement

 

[o'glory]

Ugh. I wish Apple just told us when it was going to be released. Wouldn't it be beneficial for everybody?

Bed for me now then.

Don't blame Apple - blame the people who claim to know when it's out.

They were RUMOURS not FACTS.

He's been Lion to us all.

 

[dball4]

Ok everybody I have it on good authority that it will come out at 2am british time...lol

I'm not going to sit by and wait, I'll just wait to hear the news and launch the app store

 

[hfletcher]

That was a waste of time...

 

[jellybean]

Hmm... it does say on the Cult of Mac page that Lion will be arriving at about 1am.

Clutching at straws now. Buggerpoo

Not telling everyone makes it simple to push the release date back should there be problems. If those outages in the App Store yesterday were due to stress tests and the servers did not pass Apple might have pushed back the release date. But having the overnight tonight must mean something.

 

[DreamscapeRuins]

He's been Lion to us all.

I see what you did there. Smooth.

 

[o'glory]

It's only just past 8pm over here, may as well wait for another hour.

 

[joelovesapple]

I bet they're laughing at us right now.

In other news, Bill Gates has shot Steve Balmer and has re-taken his position as CEO at Microsoft.








Well, you believed the rumour mill, so...!

 

[iPadPhone]

I dont even know why i'm waiting for it on the App Store, i'm actually waiting for the new Airs instead.

 

[Wormald]

Feel a bit of Apple-excitement remorse coming on...

Look at us all staring at the screen refreshing things with rabid anticipation.

But on the other hand... GIEF!

 

[Kahnyl]

You guys gonna be OK?

 

[joelovesapple]

It's only just past 8pm over here, may as well wait for another hour.

Why? This rumour was a load of crap at best. Don't punish yourself, just go to bed.

 

[Smashedin]

Because, Apple, a corporation that prides itself on ease of use would release a major operating system when their help lines arn't open.

Yet here i am.
