I don't mind not using two monitors anymore. Lion + Magic Trackpad =  Using swipes to quickly go between apps, and using mission control to get an overview is just great.

Feenix posted:If one was on the GM Lion on their mac right now, but wanted to buy the legit Mac App Store version, would that download as a dmg or something that I could turn into an install disc or thumbdrive? Or would the Mac App Store be all like "Wait I'm not gonna sell you Lion, because you are on Lion!" Why would anyone running a developer GM want to re-download and buy a "legit" version in the app store? Developers get the OS as a part of the developer program. Unless you are talking about a pirated version of the GM. Edit: The GM version shows up in App Store as OS X Lion for developers. So you don't need to buy it, you are already on the retail version of it.. Edit: Case in point

Crowley posted:Two things I hate about the new Safari. One cool thing about the new safari (don't know if someone has posted it before), but, reading forums like this one in full screen on a 27" iMac is kinda taxing. Turn this:  Into this by dragging the left or right side of the Safari window in towards the middle of the screen. :P

Space Racist posted:Do you always maximize the web browser window? Even on my 21.5" iMac that sounds ridiculous and unnecessary. Love having it fullscreen. It's only a three-finger swipe away. :P Which is also a really good reason why using anything other then Lion after this will bring tears to my eyes.

Totally unrelated to anything. If anyone wants to change the background on their Dashboard space (if anyone actually doesn't tick off "Show Dashboard as a space"). The file is located in /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/pirelli.png I tried using a regular wallpaper, which bugged. Guessing you can use it to create a solid color, or a less annoying LEGO pattern. :P

Krakkles posted:Parallels Desktop is doing this, also, and Force Quitting didn't resolve. Tried updating and everything. This is really annoying ... why would Apple release something this loving buggy? If nothing else works, clean install. Fixes everything. Edit: I had a few hickups when upgrading from an already used system. Decided to clean install. Works awesome now. Just remember to back up your things (music, documents etc) and the oft forgotten /Library/Application Support/ and things like that. :P DirtyWorker fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Jul 21, 2011 |

Krakkles posted:Crap. Ok, when I get home, I guess. That's kinda the funny thing about Lion. You go from a system full of crap, and just do an upgrade on top of it. I've always been skeptical of that. Feels better having a clean system though. Like I said above, always backup though. I've sometimes forgotten a couple of folders, and it pisses me off. VV Kinda harsh, but ok. :P Btw, why isn't Quicksilver on the list of Productivity apps in the second post? http://qsapp.com/ Oh, and tell people to get BezelHUD for it http://code.bencochran.com/bezelhud/ DirtyWorker fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Jul 21, 2011 |

Star War Sex Parrot posted:I'm not here to defend Apple, but Lion in my experience has been the best 10.x.0 release that they've ever done. They're always going to be buggy though and there's always going to be 10.x.1 within a month of release to clean up the issues that become apparent with mass adoption. Don't be an early adopter if you can't deal with a few rough spots. Or just buggy 3rd party software which hasn't been fixed for use with Lion yet.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:How does it feel like an iPad? Ignore LaunchPad if you don't like it. Most power users already use Spotlight or Alfred to start applications. Mainstream users who just hate change can still use the Dock or just make an Applications stack like Snow Leopard. Or they can do the sensible thing and just ignore change, stick with the old and be happy?

Star War Sex Parrot posted:The auto-saving and versioning systems alone are enough for me to push my computer illiterate friends and family to move from Snow Leopard to Lion. They'll either adapt to LaunchPad or I'll just make an Applications stack. But, but, it's an iPad! Seriously though, those are the two killer features when developers start to implement them into their apps. Edit: Here's hoping Adobe won't spend four years implementing them. Versions and Auto-saving in Photoshop, yes please. VVV Your grandma is awesome. Tell her that from me. I gave my mom the old iPad as a birthday present. Now she can't go anywhere without it.

^^^^ loving beaten'. XDMZ posted:Just sayin' I don't see the point of launchpad, oh and the inverted scrolling thing by default? Considering Apple has spent millions if not billions on perfecting touch. It makes sense that the scrolling is the "wrong" way when using a Magic Trackpad. Also, most people who go Mac at this stage will probably be familiar with iPhone or iPad, which is why Launch Pad is there. Well, duh.. of course they make it more like iOS, because millions upon millions of users are used to iOS. To most other people, don't knock Lion until you use it with the trackpad, only way to go, bro.

Doctor Zero posted:Ahhh I see. Apple has refuted this so many times now. They will never make a computer with a touch screen as holding your hand out to touch the screen would kill you after 10 minutes. :P Edit: Mr. Jobs said “We’ve done tons of user testing on this, and it turns out it doesn’t work. Touch surfaces don’t want to be vertical. It gives great demo but after a short period of time, you start to fatigue and after an extended period of time, your arm wants to fall off. it doesn’t work, it’s ergonomically terrible. Touch surfaces want to be horizontal, hence pads.”

SourKraut posted:To be fair, in the IT environment I work in, many of the professionals who are using Macs and OS X, are becoming more vocal in meetings and around the office about their dislike of the direction that Apple is going. I wouldn't at all be surprised if in the next 3-5 years a lot of them switch back to a different OS, depending on the direction Apple continues to take. After the gently caress up that was FCPX, I don't blame them. It seems Apple is going all consumer. They've already removed Xserv, and made Lion Server an update to regular Lion, they are also basically telling Adobe to suck it. I have no idea what they are thinking though. Edit: Probably singing "We're in the money! We're in the money, come on, my honey, Let's lend it, spend it, send it rolling along!"

^^^^ Already discussed. No. The reason they did this was because it was super sensitive in Snow Leopard. Waking computers from sleep if someone farted in the room next door.

SourKraut posted:Yeah, I mean I can't blame them, given that their consumer-focused products is what's making them a BOATLOAD of money and allowing them to build a giant flying saucer for their new corporate headquarters, but still, it's somewhat sad to see their professional products taking the bullet for their success. I guess that market was convenient when it kept Apple alive at one point. Not so much now when they have more money in the bank then most "rich" countries in the world. :P I'm betting that flying saucer HQ will be taking off by 2020, leaving earth behind to create an utopia on some distant planet.

Is there a hack anywhere for this? Is it even possible to hack, or do I have to wait for Apple to maybe implement it one day? Ctrl+Z to much to push?
