Mac OS X Lion Discussion


Recommended Posts

Oh, okay. Someone kept telling me to check the Appearance option and thus couldn't figure out why the three scroll bar options weren't doing anything.

EDIT: Seems you can only change the scrolling behavior if you have a trackpad, though. I'm using a Magic Mouse and there is nothing I can edit in Trackpad. Nevermind, the same option is inside the Mouse preferences.

It is just starting to appear on the more private trackers (that .cd site for example)

Ah, that’s what I thought but I was looking on .me, my bad.

I’m not on any other private tracker, so I guess I’ll have to be patient :p

It's on a certain bay, where pirates go (I hope I can say that).

I couldn’t find it there :p

But it doesn’t matter, I know I’ll end up getting my hands on it soon.

I'm glad that Apple has finally retired all of the old, out-of-place shiny, glossy Aqua widgets that debuted back in 2000. The new progress bars look great, as do the more muted checkboxes and radio buttons. Also, it seems to me that buttons and forms are using a darker hue of blue.

Okay, so it seems that iDisk isn't quite the same thing as AirDrop, though they seem like it to me, especially as iDisk can be shared publicly, right?

I really should be using iDisk in place of Dropbox, as it does all the same things for me.

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)

It's a shame, can the cracked version be installed stand alone or is it an update too?

I just purchased the dev preview and I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed I had to install 10.6 on a different partition first THEN upgrade :/ (I have to keep a clean 10.6 so I can continue developing for the AppStore)

10.6 is required as lion still uses a number of essential services that it uses from the snow leopard partition thus the reason why lion is installed ontop of leopard, though i have to thank apple for that, rather download 3.6Gb then 8-9Gb (Y)

What you're saying doesn't make much sense. In the past Mac OS X Developer Previews have always been stand-alone installers, so there's no reason why this can't be the case with Mac OS X Lion. The only reason this Mac OS X Lion installer requires Mac OS X Snow Leopard is because Apple set it up that way. Not because there's some technical limitation. Next to that the full Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD is less than 6,5 GB in size (not the 8-9 GB you're talking about). Even smaller when you exclude Xcode.

it could be an attempt to stop piracy of the developer previews, but apple has already failed with that

Looks like it creates a recovery HD - when you hold down Option it appears. Sure that was one with SL but never saw it.

Also is it just me but there doesn't seem to be a way to exit dashboard without clicking a trackpad or clicking the keyboard. In SL you could click with a mouse to go back....

People, Keep In Mind That If You Submit Apps 2 Either The IOS App Store, The Mac App Store, Or Both: Apple Still Requires You 2 Use Both Snow Leopard And XCode 3.25 And/Or XCode 4.0 GM with IOS 4.2.1 GM 4 Your App Submissions, You Might Want 2 Think Twice About Replacing Snow Leopard With Lion Developer Preview As Your Primary Mac Operating System!

But I installed Lion on a completely clean external drive that had nothing on it at all previously.

Thanks for the reminder....

But can you PLEASE stop posting like that? Wtf is it supposed to be? Looks like a pain in the ass to capitalize everything PLUS it makes it harder to read

though i have to thank apple for that, rather download 3.6Gb then 8-9Gb

Um the download size has nothing to do with the install size :/

I mean Windows 7 download is like 3.16GB

The numbers instead of words were worse imo :|

As a designer, I am interested in finding out if this build of Lion, contains the x2 UI image resources, that this new HiDPI support requires. If so, I would love to see screenshots running in this double resolution, or even better, a zip with the extracted UI images, if any of the Leopard and Snow Leopard theming tools still work? PM me, get in touch via Twitter @mdtauk or reply here if you can help me out!

    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
