Apple has reportedly scheduled overnights for Tuesday night in preparation for the OS X Lion launch. According to 9to5 Mac, Apple Store outlets are already equipped with hard drives to quickly install Lion on the show floor computers, and the stores have been sent new posters to outfit the walls with advertisements for the new operating system. Apple is also expected to refresh the MacBook Air in the imminent future. We’re expecting the new notebooks to pack the Thunderbolt I/O port in place of DisplayPort, Intel’s new Sandy Bridge processors, and a backlit keyboard.

    Thanks for the news Mark Gurman.

    Oh, wait, this isn’t 9to5 Mac?  Sorry, posted on the wrong site.  I just assumed this was 9to5 Mac.

      Every site posts reports quoting other sites. 9to5 does it. Engadget does it. CNN does it. Etc. Etc. I’ve seen NY Times quoting reports from BGR. Hating for the sake of hating ain’t cool. Now hating apple because we hate apple, now that’s fun!!!

      That’s funny…  The lion hasn’t been sleeping as of late.  Apple has been working hard on making a bad OS even worse.  Geeze, Apple sucks, or at least that’s what my friends say and I trust their judgement!

        Android is the most powerful OS ever devised.  It has a level of AI never seen before.  It fixes itself, it updates itself, it’s self-aware, it doesn’t require power (it charges the phone’s batteries.)  And so on and so forth…  I have seen super computers using Android and it blows the super computer OS’ currently in place away!

        What are you talking about? There is nothing wrong with their OS. It is really quite good.

        My friends tell me this.  I personally haven’t seen the OS.  But all my fellow Goofans (aka Apple Haters) tell me that Apple’s products are terrible and overpriced.  So, that said, I take their word over yours, otherwise, they will beat me up!

        agreed…..form your own opinion.  besides if you want an OS that is full of security holes, then by all means choose Android

    I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff, LiveCent.com
