Mac OS X Lion 10.7

classilla ftw

ok seriously autocorrect can GTF. it's turned otm into tom like 15 times now. Learn, ffs.

TOM.

Srsly tho: is autocorrect built into 10.7?

Can you not turn it off?

it is built in, same model as iPhone's, and tbh it's handy enough to want to keep it on, but they need to add a way to remove/update the dictionary, srsly.

oh it supposedly does "smart" quotes too. that's not working.

Seems utterly pointless when you're on a full keyboard. Also, fuck everything that cultivates bad typing habits.

hold down the 'e' key in this tèxt bóx

Wait, so holding down a key doesn't do key repeat anymore?

I feel a little ashamed for kind of knowingly nodding partway through

what version is the stock python on 10.7?

Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jun 16 2011, 16:59:05)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)] on darwin

thanking you

so tomorrow

Now it's official I've installed it on my MacBook and full-screen apps are worth the price alone, basically.

Is anything broken? I don't want to update and find all my softwares broken.

i like that you dont need a license for each installation

PPC apps are out -- there's no Rosetta at all. (So that's CS3 and older dead). Everything else seems to be working so far.

You've never needed a license for OSX installations.

Just read iTunes is finally going to be 64bit Cocoa whatever updated. I've been waiting years and years for iTunes to not be a pain in my ass.

It's still a pain in the ass; just a 64bit one.

Getting used to the scrolling, but everything seems to have come through smoothly. I downloaded it this morning and the install only took about 30 minutes. Nice!

doing this tonight :)

Always entertaining when the Spotlight indexing takes twice as long as the install

OK, I decided to roll the dice and be a dumbass. The Lion install went so smoothly on my macbook pro that I connected to my Mac Pro via vnc and kicked off the install. It should come back up in an hour or so, right? :)

i'm on lion now -- glad to be back to the mac after it taking over an hour & a half plus to do its stuff

Encrypted Time Capsule backups (along with full-disc encryption) a nice touch. The big Ars Technica article gets into it.

PPC apps are out -- there's no Rosetta at all. (So that's CS3 and older dead). Everything else seems to be working so far.

My CS3 is Intel, not PPC. Or at least that's what Activity Monitor is telling me.

Must be CS2 that's PPC. I don't know if CS3 works though -- heard people complaining about it. Are you running Lion now?

No, I am afeared of the Lion.

Looks like CS3 works, but you have to install Java first.

i have lion now

what next

brilliant writing appears as if by magic iirc

quit your apps without having to worry about saving

man, it's nuts a real nice but i still click save sometimes tbrr

also idk what's doing this autocorrect stuff right now but it really wants spotify to be spottily

sail through space while viewing all ur old document revisions

i feel like diamond dave is taking my hand and leading me on a cosmic tour of the most advanced operating system on th planet

I got a lion in my pocket I'm lyin I got a nine in my pocket and baby I'm just

I know this is incorrect to say for some reason but I really don't like the new UI features. It's more than just me being used to a particular way of doing things. The new scrolling makes sense but mission control feels half-baked and spaces has been neutered.

I never used spaces because I thought they were too similar to ye olde multiple desktop systems

i never used spaces in previous releases but i use them a lot in lion!

spaces since day 1, they are awesome! looking forward to seeing how they updated it in lion

Trying really really hard to do things Apple's way. Did away with all my spaces and have everything open in one desktop. If I minimise a window it doesn't appear in mission control. The clutter is already driving me up the wall.

I'm using way more full-screen apps and swiping between them than I thought I would.

it also has clipboard history. i hit cmd-opt-\ and i get a list of the last 40 things i put in my clipboard. i can either scroll down or type a few letters from the entry i want, then hit turn to put the item back in the clipboard. this is on the verge of becoming bloatware, but LB does a way better job of it than the dedicated clipboard things that i don't mind. clipboard history is one of those things you don't know how you lived without.

youre just asking to have that used against you in a court of law

I love LB and probably use 15% of it's features.

lol xp my current history is basically just me stalking you on ilx

tbh unless I'm doing a search, I never look at the UI of Spotlight

I usually just type the first few characters of an app name and hit enter

chilling xp

so caek, you're a launchbar guy? don't quite recognize that launcher

ha at me uploading my government phone number to ilx in a screenshot

we need a "indefensible: stallman" thread

scratchpad is the wrong word. i just treat it like an actual desk. shit I'm working on goes there and i clean up when I'm done.

ah righto

btw sorry to rail against the whole metaphor of a desktop, I just hate things being on my desktop and forget that other people use it for real things

gassée on nextstep/be os: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/the-story-behind-apples-next-os-in-1996-video/63196

I'll watch the video when I'm not at work but this quote:

“Thank god that didn’t happen, because I hated Apple’s management.”

..is completely hilarious in context. Had Gassée made the sale, he could have probably quit Be/Apple and retired a rich man. He basically flubbed the entire negotiation. On the other side of the coin, Jobs actually disliked most of the managers as well and as his influence grew upon his return, he cleaned house.
