This might not be a cosmology thread, but your disturbing lack of intelligence upsets me. The sun is not going to just die out. I'm sure you've heard the "the sun is going to blow up and destroy earth in fifty million years!?" hype. It isn't going to blow up, when the hydrogen in it becomes heavier elements it'll just expand and destroy Earth. Hope this takes your mind off the launcher.
Specifically, it'll expand and cool to what we consider a Main-Sequence Red Giant in about 5 billion years time; despite cooling however, the fact that more of the Earth is exposed to the Sun at once will cause it to superheat regardless, rendering it lifeless. After several billion more years as a Red Giant, it will throw off its outer layers in a Planetary Nebula, becoming a White Dwarf star that will, in fact, eventually die out.
Please note that Minecraft is currently a work in progress and NOT a finished product! The sandbox mode available right now. However, you may buy a discounted beta account today, which will also include the full game!
As we at Mojang continue to release more complete builds of the game, we will also be reducing the discount gradually until we reach the final version and full price of the product. So the earlier you buy, the better value you get! Although we are very passionate about this project, we cannot guarantee that it will be completed - that's why we offer the discounted price When you purchase the game, you pay for it as it is right now. Future updates are an added bonus.

Maybe you should have known what you were getting into before pulling out your credit card?
So overall what would be the solutition to fix this? (Im on a Mac)
There isn't one right now. The problem is most likely not on your end as this is happening to pretty much everyone. It's been going on for about a day and I'd assume the dev team is working on it even though Notch has YET TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS MASSIVE **** UP.

ok i can't connect when using the new launcher but i can when using the old one, which auto updates... but when i play on a multiplayer server, i have lag, just chat lag and building lag, but i can walk around fine, i just don't understand...

I understood what I was getting into and I love the game, but it would be nice to have better communication.
The game worked great before. After releasing a new launcher/version I can't login. I'm guessing this is a "secure login" issue but I'm not sure if this is something everyone is experiencing because of the servers or if there is a problem with my system specifically. From everything I've read I haven't heard an official response on this issue.
I can still play single player since I kept a copy of the old launcher which still allows me to login, but the SMP server that I use isn't upgrading and the old launcher automatically upgrades me preventing me from connecting up (unfortunate series of events there).
Beta or not, with the amount of people playing this game I would expect communication on the issue. Even if it's a statement saying "Our servers suck and we will have new ones setup in 2 weeks.".

Well, you'd think with that amount of money any server related issues would be resolved. It doesn't cost that much to support 1.4 million people of which maybe a hundred thousand (very very high estimate) are trying to login at any moment of time.
uhm ya this support forum is like the bible there are no answers /wrist anyways since there is no hope in our bleak future im looking for a multiplayer server that is noob friendly possible with ventrillo or teamspeak, i am new to the game learning fast like the play style brings retro back for sure. im not sure exactly what im looking for in a server. im kinda looking for a larger server more players, active. also if someone had a server where there are two factions maybe and pvp set up with raiding parties and i dunno other fun stuff im keen, please alas this being a support server please message me on the forums and ill respond that way!
Seriously? Noone is going to the minecraft.net website to login?
My launcher is having the same problem - continuously failing, saying it can't connect. But if you go to minecraft.net, login, and play in the browser... it works fine, including multiplayer. No need to play in offline or anything.
Minecraft.net is suffering some difficulties at the moment, with the database getting overloaded. We’re working hard on fixing the problem.
In the meantime, I’ve uploaded the new game launcher, which you can download from here once the servers are back up and running.
The biggest updates in there are that it shows the latest update news, logs in over https, it asks if you want to update or keep playing on the current installed version, only downloads modified files.

25,000 logging in at once is a very high estimate, yours is just crazy huge. They WISH they had that many people playing on a daily basis, let alone logging in at once.
Put it this way, last time Jagex announced how many members, which btw have to pay a subscription fee so the assumption that ANY account is paid for and not used is much less unlikely on runescape than on minecraft where they just have a 1 time fee,they had was over 20million. At their peaks, their numbers of players (which less than half were members) playing was 200k, so you can just roughly assume idk, we'll just say 25% (50k) were members and playing. So basically at any given moment and assuming their actually doing good with players playing, they had less than a quarter of a percent of members playing at any given time.
Minecraft with their 1.4 million members and when you compare it to runescape's numbers, there's no way they could have anywhere near 100k players playing at once.
I'll try to gets some stats of their login server later to get a fix on how much traffic they get every minute and use it to show how many players they have ingame at any given time on average.
its strange that i can connect to mc.net in the launcher and play online with my account on any computer but my own... so it works but just not on MY computer! very weird!
Figured I'd throw in here that I am getting this problem as well, even though a friend of mine can log in just fine. Will try the older launcher later.
And to the people who are complaining about this, stop lol. Game's in BETA.. it means there's going to be problems every time they release an update it means there's going to be more stuff to work out and more bugs that are going to pop up.

--edit:
yeah, now minecraft.net won't load up in browser either...

Derp. Twitter is never accurate. I saw that same "Nice" post more than 10 hours ago. It is not 41 minutes old.

The old launcher seemed to work just fine though. I wish I didn't replace it right about now.
