Mac OS X Lion 10.7

and yeah, wtf @ apple for not giving me a free download via the App Store, which is why I said fuck you apple in the first place!

It's only $30 though. Or um, you could download it elsewhere from less authentic sources.

it's the principle of the matter. I could buy a lot of beer or a fifth for $30!

and I already gave them two huge lumps of cash in the past summer

I'll email you the installer and a fifth

am confused dayo: what would you want to download? You can make an external image already, so what do you want to download?

He can make a recovery image, which he believes (and I'm starting to believe) is only good for a fresh install. He wants to upgrade.

But to upgrade you'd have to be running 10.6, and isn't the point that this mac came w/10.7?

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

I'm just pissed that apple has finally started regulating its licenses

or maybe because apple is being inconsistent? like in the past, you could buy a single user license and a family user pack with like 5 licenses. they were both the exact same thing, you could install it on as many different macs as you'd like, but technically you'd only have bought one or five licenses.

now with lion, assuming you are upgrading from snow leopard, you just buy it once and you can install it on all your macs, yeah, without having to buy separate licenses for each of your macs? but if you buy a brand new mac, you can't use that mac's copy of lion to upgrade your snow leopard macs. doesn't make sense.

What are you talking about? They're still exactly the same thing, except with new macs you get a one-off. In the past, if you bought a new mac with, say 10.6, the disc it came with would be machine-specific and wouldn't necessarily work as a way to upgrade a 10.5 machine.

In other words, this is *exactly* how it was.

lol you're right

fuck you, apple

I made the executive decision (just now) in the shower that I will buy Lion this week

but that new finder sidebar is still ugly as shit

Finder is an abortion full stop, the sidebar is just an additional nuisance

<3 finder

You better, they will never fix it. They want Finder to wither away.

i'm not trolling, i genuinely like it -- what do y'all dislike about it?

You know, it's so long since I used the Finder for anything serious that I'm having trouble remembering all the things I hate about it. I do all my file operations through Nautilus on an Ubuntu box.

markers, read the siracusa reviews

actually he wrote an article just about it

http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2003/04/finder.ars

(it's gotten worse since then)

Here's a few off the top of my head:

- nowhere near enough in the way of hotkeys
- new finder windows default to the "all my files" thing
- display options are (a) an outline list (b) that horrible grid thing (c) big icons
- dragging a file intermittently selects a list of files instead
- ejecting a USB drive closes the finder window without asking
- basically it's made for people who don't use computers

- display options are (a) an outline list (b) that horrible grid thing (c) big icons

(d) cover flow, which makes nought sense in a file system most of the time

the worst is when I do expose and find out I have like 25 finder windows open

<3 windows file manager though

w/ the new lion finder I look at my sidebar and I have no idea which is my dropbox folder and which is my photos folder and which is my downloads folder, it's all a big glob of grey

yeah, win explorer is the greatest xp

You guys know that windows is going to totally fuck up the default view in Win 8, right? :)

anyone use pathfinder?

the vista/7 finder thingy sucks, xp windows explorer was classic, 95/98 file manager was classicer

shit I am being rockist about windows I need to *take a step back*

- new finder windows default to the "all my files" thing

mine doesn't. Maybe "always open in list view" in view prefs?

- display options are (a) an outline list (b) that horrible grid thing (c) big icons

I'm confused. Icon size is adjustable. There's even a little slider in the finder window. Been that way since Snow Leopard.

- dragging a file intermittently selects a list of files instead

not for me.

- ejecting a USB drive closes the finder window without asking

it closes the finder window displaying the content of the USB drive, but not other windows.

I saw a toolbar on the Win8 Explorer and threw up for 12 minutes

I saw a toolbar RIBBON on the Win8 Explorer and threw up for 12 minutes

is what I meant

- dragging a file intermittently selects a list of files instead

not for me.

i think he's talking about this

http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20051121074003638

drag too quickly and you extend the selection, kind of like if you click a second time to edit a file name you actually double click

it's not a finder thing, it's a mac thing

Until it acts like OS 9 finder (complete w/drawers and stationery pads that work) it is dead to me

so in full screen mode, if I fling my mouse cursor to the top (where those infinite pixels are) and let it rest there, the menu bar pops down. but if I fling my cursor down to the bottom (where my dock is hiding), I have to keep on continuing downward movement in order to get the dock to come up. yeah?

whoa i just hit the worg key command and my shit went buck, the dashboard editing mode came up behind everything so that the add widget viewer was on the bottom of the screen but the active widgets were behind chrome w/only their little x's for removal showing AND i was in some weird fullscreen mode where the top menu bar was hidden - i got really confused, mashed my keyboard and ended up restarting

wtf that was terrifying

something similar happened to me last week after I exited a vid chat in ichat, had to hold the power button down

YOU WERE STARING IN2 TH MAINFRAME

i was just in terminal trying to rip out the fuckin google talk plugin

i did not succeed
