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:

And, Whomever Leaked It Is Going 2 Find That They Are Without An Apple Developer Account, As The Download Is Digitally Signed With Your Apple Developer ID!

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!

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11

    • 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.
