Mac OS X Lion 10.7

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.

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.

The Screen Sharing app is pretty sweet when you full screen it. Then you can swipe between computers@

I'd use more full-screen apps if I weren't on a 15" screen. For stuff like itunes it's just too great an angle for my eyes to cover comfortably. On a MBA I'm sure it'd be great.

I'm going on a 30" screen! ITunes is huge but kinda great. Safari unusable.

Also when you use screen sharing you can get to you desktop/screen even if someone else is logged in at the actual screen. Amazing.

stet aiding and abetting the iOSization of OSX

I don't have anyone to share screens with :(

Currently trying to work out why the fuck my battery life has halved.

I have been redoing my 'office' area at home so my Mac Pro is currently plugged in downstairs without a monitor/keyboard/mouse. Works great with screen sharing!

Oh jesus, it's Firefox. I don't know why it's started happening in Lion. Nothing unusual in activity monitor but as soon as I close FF the battery life more than doubles.

Some discussion on how the /etc/hosts file has changed (potentially) in Lion: http://ga.rgoyle.com/blog/2011/06/16/mac-os-x-lion-etchosts-file/

just used airdrop to send some pics to be girl.... pretty slick

me:

"shit, that file's fucked"
"wait, there's a versions feature"
"omg amazing there we go, old version back"

so. good.

all the cute new lil transition animations are way dumb

yeah, and ugly. When you grab 10 items and drag them somewhere and you suddenly get this bulbous red "10" badge, it's things like that that make wish Apple came up with that metro interface.

when you do the new three finger swipe thing to yr desktop the icons fade in instead of just being there, like where r they coming from idgi

if you press cmd-m in launchpad or expose it gets worse

h8 u apaple

it really bugs me that apple implements 'natural scrolling up/down but switching between apps in full screen mode w/ the four finger swipe doesn't follow the same geography

it's three finger, and yeah it does?

well conceptually they reversed the up/down scrolling because you're imagining you're moving a piece of paper in front of you. now pretend you've got the torah or something horizontal in front of you and imagine you're moving it to the right or left. does it accord with what lion does?

Yes
