Here's what mozilla is saying from their ftp server site:
ftp://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/mac/index.html
We're not quite ready yet!
We're just as excited as you are for our upcoming release, but we're still putting the finishing touches on Firefox 3: preparing the new mozilla.com website, getting our severs ready for downloads, and doing our final pre-launch checks. You can follow our progress if you'd like!
The files in this directory are - for now - only meant to be used by our testers. Downloading them directly can harm our ability to distribute Firefox efficiently, and will also not be counted as part of our attempt to set a Guiness World Record for the most software downloads in a day.
If you'd like to be notifed the minute that we launch, please go to sign up for Download Day. Or just head over to getfirefox.com on Tuesday, June 17th after 10am PDT.
Unless you're an astronomer, nobody cares about the technical difference of stating EDT vs. EST times during the daylight savings time period. Everybody just assumes and forgets to state the correct abbreviation.
What a profound and meaningless argument. Amateur photojournalists have been around for decades producing low-grade photos and video (dictated by what's available in the consumer market) that the media deems relevant only because those photos or video were the only ones available for that particular news story. As for the authenticity issue, there are and continue to be ethical issues surrounding all of photojournalism, professional or amateur.
There will be no substitute for at least sports, political, or locally planned event photojournalists to name a few, so it is hard to believe that the professional photojournalist will be on the demise. If a news event takes place and the media wants to follow up on the aftermath of the story, who would you send to take pictures? Joe Schmoe? Will the media wait for Mr. Joe Schmoe-the-photojournalist to produce a news event picture, or will they just send someone on their staff - this implies that the person is a professional photojournalist - to get the picture and the job done on time? While there are still news organizations and corporations in existence, there will always be professional photojournalists in need.

Has anyone reported a successful download of firefox 3 since 10am PST (1pm EST)?
This would be funny if the servers are down for 24 hours.
I'm having the same trouble.
