Mac OS X Lion Discussion


Recommended Posts

Yea doesn't look great, weren't they using the Mission Control background in the first preview we saw of Mac OS X Lion (keynote)? :/ That looked better.

No - they were using the current background :x But I agree the cloth texture sure does look good. I see Apple changing it before the final release (As they did with iOS)

But can you PLEASE stop posting like that?

Every single post that he does is like that, in the forums or on the front page news posts. Several people have asked him why, and he has never responded, as far as I've ever seen. I even posted a comment about it on his profile.

I've realised that unless an app is fullscreen enabled it appears as part of the finder in Mission Control and very much messes things up. That aside it seems pretty good.

EDIT: NM changed a setting.

What you're saying doesn't make much sense.

it makes perfect sense. That's what I thought at first and he's just confirming what I had in mind.

Also read the front page. Lion screwed up the bandwidth of the Mac App Store yesterday, imagine if it had been a whole 7-8GB download... It'll most likelybe bigger than SL because of added features as well as retina display pictures everywhere.

Apple didn't do it because Mac OS X Lion needs Mac OS X Snow Leopard from a technical standpoint (first part of his post), as if it's a The Sims expansion pack.

Distribution is the only reason why they chose this model. In the past developers could download the full DMG from Apple's Developer website and as far as I can recall there were no problems back then... You can ask yourself if it's a smart move to distribute through a system that sees enormous commercial traffic as well. Apparently not.

You're just confirming what I said then , and what he said. He didn't mean to say Lion relied on SL so it's going to stay an upgrade only forever. Naturally, it's for distribution purposes.

If Apple had opened their server farms already (which is happening in 2 months from now) the App Store would have survived easily to this.

Well it "IS" possible to use the DMG hidden in the package, to install (new install) on another partition or drive.

Could also restore the dmg to another partition(or usb key) and boot off that partition to install it. (MBA Owners)

I have a mid 2009 MacBook. Will the touch gestures work with it or is this just a MacBook AIR and Pro thing?

:unsure:

I don’t recall which model that is...

Do you have a glass trackpad with no button on it? If so, it’s all going to work, your trackpad supports multitouch gestures.

If you have a button at the bottom, you’ll need to upgrade to use this feature !

I can't remember for sure which model.. I want to say it's either EDIT: MacBook5,2 ?

Anyways, yea I have the one button. That's lame lol.

Oh well.

Ok guys, I upgraded my SL 10.6.6 installation with Lion. Everything seems ok and working fine (incl. my previously installed CS5 apps.)

EXCEPT for Safari, which open up like this:

Everything is fine with Camino or Chrome. My Font Suitcase works fine (the same goes for any font with office or InDesign).

Any idea?

Isn't there an option to enable the status bar? I'm really missing that... :/

Yes, there is. (I' just done installing it, hehe)

Wrong encoding.

Go to the Presentation menu in the top bar > Encoding > then select an encoding (can be UTF8, ISO Latin 1, etc.)

    • 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 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.
