i am surprised that apple has already released a developer preview of xcode 4.1 :blink:

no just open it once its finished and let it run, it will reboot and you will install lion as you would normally do with mac os x

That's what I thought. But, is there an actual ISO I can burn to a DVD?

Although I do like it being tied to the App Store. So now I can put Lion on my MacBook for testing purposes rather easily.

no there is no iso, its only an app and its DRM protected from the app store

With the running application indicators on, does it continue to work just like before, or only for running apps with visible windows? I'm still a little confused on how Resume is actually going to work. Is there still an actual quitting command (Cmd+Q)?

Yep, quitting is still there. I'm still a little confused on the specifics of Resume, and there aren't many cases where you can see it in action. So far, I've noticed that iChat will quit when no windows are open and you switch focus away. Same goes for Address Book.

Yep - currently there is no way to reformat the machine. You download the app from the AppStore. It does it's install over SL

I guess this isn't going to be like Windows betas, where they sternly warn you to do a fresh install of each beta.

I wonder if there will be an upgrade path like this through the betas all the way to the final.

Anyway, Mac OS X Lion leaked onto the internet. That didn't take too long. :laugh:

putting the app online is easy as pie, its getting the app into an iSO format and ridding the DRM protection that would be the tricky bit

edit: i stand corrected, seems this has already been accomplished (Y)

oh dear god no, thats 1 feature i do not want to see in lion D:

It seems much less intrusive than its iOS brother - I'm typing up a hands on to go on the front page of Neowin, and it's caught a few minor slip ups, but it's missed a few others that would normally be caught, because of my horrendously sloppy typing. It strikes a nice balance.

Okay, finally got done installing Lion onto an external drive. So far, I'm quite impressed.

However, it is really weird having iOS scrolling on a computer with a mouse. Having to scroll up to go down and having to scroll down to go up will take me a long time to get used to. Is there any way to bring back the old behavior? It seems of the three options, all it affects is the visibility of the scroll bar, not the actual scroll behavior.

And I really love all the little new animations in Lion. For a developer preview, I'm finding it remarkably stable. It's a bit slow, but that's to be expected running from an external drive.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
