I'm currently running Mac OS X Lion Developer Preview 3 (will update to 4 when it comes down Software Update).

I updated iTunes to the new beta, 10.5, and to my surprise, its 64 bit. I'm not 100%, but its calling Core.UI framework instead of Carbon.

Here is a screenshot:

How is the overall interface? Does the Preferences window finally got rid of those insane [OK] and [Cancel] buttons, does it use native Aqua elements (checkboxes, scroll bars, etc.), etc. Has performance improved?

I'll post some screenshots.

It has native fullscreen support in Lion (which I love).

I am very confused. How did iTunes jump from 10.2 to 10.5 in less then 24 hours? iTunes website says v.10.3 for download for both windows and mac. When I updated last night software updates said 10.3. Where did you get 10.5 from?

EDIT: I just checked my iTunes at home and it does say v.10.3. I also just did a check on software update and there isn't another update. This is only available on the dev portal?

10.5 is a requirement for iOS 5.

Hmm, the traffic light buttons are back to their horizontal positions... Is that a 10.5 addition or something on the latest version for 10.6 as well? I haven't upgraded yet to find out.

iTunes 10.5 restored the window controls to their normal horizontal position, at least on Mac OS X Lion. I'm going out on a limb here saying that it was a failed experiment of Apple's. Why the Mac App Store still has that different placement or alternatively why these changes haven't made it to Mac OS X Lion system-wide no idea. I kinda expected all applications to become like the Mac App Store.

The above post mentions the stoplight position.

If you mean a few posts above, it only says what is, it doesn't explain what happened to 10.4

My guess is they skipped it so that iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5 will all coincide. And they'll update iOS a few times real fast, so that you have iOS 7, iTunes 10.7, and OS X 7

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.
