They should kill Software Update and just deliver them all for free with no account needed through the Mac App Store while we'e at it...

They should definately merge Software Update with the AppStore. Having some kind of update mechanism that doesn't require an account for updates to the OS would be required like you said

Exactly. One universal way across the Mac to do the updates. :)

Does anyone know where to find Lion Server? I activated the server via Sharing, but have no idea where's all the configuration behind this thing. Seems to be hidden too well, or I'm blind as always. If it' the former, they will have to fix it in the final if they want people to actually see this feature...

I didn't install it but I would guess either in System Preferences or the Utilities folder in Applications

Well, Samba is definitely faster. But I'm seeing a LOT of Graphics Corruption on both my MacBook Pro (Nvidia) and MacBook (Intel). System's both also running a lot hotter too. Have installed on my iMac via LogMeIn so will see how thats running when I get home

The only issue I ran in was in LaunchPad. It decided to put Firefox in the second page so i moved it to the first and put it where it should be (alphabetical order). For some reason when I went back to it, it was on top of the first icon :blink: After moving it a few more times I stuck properly

It's running hot likely because Spotlight is still indexing. My system isn't running any hotter with Lion than it did with Snow Leopard.

Nope, Running SSDs in both, Indexing only took about 15 minutes, no services gobbling up CPU usage. It's Graphics Related. It won't run off the Intel Graphics on the MacBook Pro. I'll only use the Nvidia Graphics.

You should probably file a bug report

That's funny because the battery icon is from iOS. ;)

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

If they hacked the DRM out of it, then they can hack the Developer ID out of it.

Also, please stop using Caps on every word in every post, it makes it surprisingly hard to read.

Well it seams to like eating Video Memory, the system runs really well until this is full, then it starts lagging.

I use iStat Pro and it doesn't show me which GPU is active or how much memory it is currently using... What tool are you using? Is that iStat Menus?

EDIT: I just found this: http://news.softpedia.com/news/iStat-Menus-3-16-Adds-Extra-Dropdowns-for-GPU-CPU-Processes-184806.shtml I guess that answers my question then... I just wonder why they split the development for iStat Menus and Pro... It's the same parent company. Sounds sketchy to me.

That's really crap that Apple won't support Trim on other branded SSDs. Mine is showing up as no TRIM support.

I wonder why they've taken this move? Apples SSDs are way slower than the competition.

Woop! Screenshot tool doesn't cut off bits of windows anymore! WOO!

Just because Lion doesn't support TRIM on third party SSDs yet doesn't mean it won't.

I'm guessing support for 3rd party SSDs is going to be included in the final version

I freaking hope so, I mean I appreciate it's not a major feature, I couldn't give a **** about Write speed as long as the Read Speed is fast but I'll take every advantage I can get, and SSD Basic Garbage Collection is one of those things.

I don't know about other users here but I personally use a program called gfxCardStatus on OS X to be able to switch between my MacBook Pros 9400m and 9600GT without needing to log out. This process has always been kinda flakey on Snow Leopard with mixed results and sometimes momentary freezing during the switching process. In Lion it is really smooth and a lot faster switching between cards, almost instant without any visible glitching.

Just thought I'd mention it!

1. It never did?!

2. They need to get rid of this System Report and include it all in the new & sexy system profiler.

Ugh, I'd like to try the bug where I zoom on the screen and I can drag windows below the top bar, but the System Preferences cannot start anymore, it's crashing all the time.

Edit : it is still possible. I warned them like 5 times already, what's their problem?

So yeah, for an alpha or beta version of the OS, it's very good and very stable, but as expected, certainly not for a main OS because there are strange bugs that can pop up everywhere.

OMG! The Speech tools now support French !!! And the accent looks like it' from Quebec (where I live) that's incredible, it means it actually detected my physical location and/or system language!

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
