Roundup: Everything Apple Got Up To Overnight

As you may have heard, Apple were busy little bees last night. New this morning: Upgraded MacBook Airs and Mac Minis, a new Thunderbolt-equipped 27-inch Cinema Display, and Mac OS X Lion got set free.

Before you suck down the $32, 3.5GB download, consider doing it off-peak. And if you’re on iiNet — heads up that the Mac App Store is outside the Free Zone. If you live out in the sticks: Apple Will Sell You Lion On A USB Thumb Drive
