Really wish I could install the DP4 and know that I could easily upgrade to final without a reinstall after...

I'd never want my production system to be an upgraded beta. So far I've been switching between OS X Lion and OS X Mountain Lion since DP4 was released.

Ditto, but I'm also somewhat tempted. I've got DP4 installed on another Mac Mini and it looks lovely but I just want rid of Lion already!!!

Wow, can't believe there hasn't been a definitive release date from Apple yet.... I know they said in July, but I would expect by now there would be an actual day set.

My Guess, last day of the month.

I am running on Snow Leopard which went through all the betas for Lion and now ML and still feels perfectly good to me

I'm doubting the actual possibility of being able to update Developer Previews all the way through. Not to mention the fact quite a few people here ran into problems with software updates that simply refused to install.

For the sake of argument let's ignore the above. I'm willing to bet your Mac will run better after performing a clean installation after OS X Mountain Lion has been released.

It was possible on Lion so see no reason why it should not be possible this time round.

Here's something I hadn't noticed before and sure it didn't do this in Lion but if you have a camera that does AVCHD video if you doule click it you can now select the files inside to play in Quicktime... cool :)

Have any of you had problems with Airplay to an Apple TV 3r Generation?

Yes sometimes it comes up in only the top 1/3 of the screen but I just turn off and on again and it's ok - otherwise seems ok, can blip now and again but otherwise works quite well.

Does anyone here remember how long it took for the OS X Lion GM to go from developers only to general availability?

The developer previews ended on July 1, 2011 with the GM seed of OS X Lion and general availability was on July 20, 2011.

There are quite a few known issues with the GM build:

Known Issues

? Network Migration requires OS X 10.7.3 or later in this Developer Preview

? International users may be unable to enter a Wi-Fi password while in Setup Assistant. Users can select Other Network Options and continue setting up their system without a Wi-Fi network

? On systems with FileVault enabled, the login window may be displayed incorrectly

? Rotating an external display may cause a panic on AMD Radeon-based machines

? QuickTime screen recordings may produce corrupted videos or cause an exception when run on machines with NVDIA graphics

? Installation of Final Cut Studio 3 may cause a hang unless Automatic Graphics Switching is disabled in Energy Saver Preferences

:/

Anyway, are there any noticeable changes from the previous build?

Well it might be the same as the dev previews (didn't install them because you couldn't build apps for the AppStore).

It just seems to be smoother and I love the new progress bar

It definitely is smoother. One nice perk is that it now uses Core Animation for compositing and scrolling.

These were the known issues on DP4 as well... Are you sure this is the known issues in GM?

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
