Mac OS X Lion 10.7

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

? under apple's new philosophy of up/down scrolling, when I move my fingers up I will see more text appear from the bottom of the screen (i.e. downward scrolling). so when I move my fingers to the right, I ought to expect to see an application fly in from the left hand side, no?

what does it do instead?

That's what happens on mine. The only thing that is wrong is legacy three-finger-back in Finder/Chrome etc, and you have to turn that on in prefs

on my computer when I move my fingers left, apps come in from the left hand side

oh duh I don't have natural scrolling turned on

*fart*

motion to strike previous posts from the record

hey look over there

*throws smoke bomb*

has apple said anything about that upcoming new program where they replace my girlfriend's macbook after i throw it out the gd window for scrolling weird?

okay sorry for the previous brainfart. is there a way to make the dock come up in full screen mode if you have it set to hide?

mine comes up when i jam the mouse to its area.

oh okay. I ran out of room to jam on the trackpad

dayo, they have classes on how to use a computer at the Apple store, I hear they're free! :)

I used to know what I was doing but then they changed everything

refusing to upgrade the mbp because I should have gotten a lion install disc with my air, fuck you apple

:-(

You know you can make one, right?

yeah but only as a fresh install right? can't make a upgrade versh afaik

Yeah you can! It's the same damn thing.

could you point me to somewhere that says you can?

Uh, the fact that the disc you make is just an image of the installer, which when launched from inside OS X is an upgrader?

In fact, you could just stick the upgrader on a drive and then run it from the other computer!

I dunno man

Notes

If the computer shipped with Lion, the external recovery drive can only be used with the system that created it.

If the system was upgraded from Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard to Lion, the external recovery drive can be used with other systems that were upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion.
