Nope, there is no cut and paste.

If you expect some issues, then why are you complaining? You're using a developer preview. Wi-Fi doesn't work for me when I wake up my MacBook... I have to physically turn off Wi-Fi, turn it back on and then reconnect. It's annoying but it's the price you pay for using unfinished software.

maybe i ain't finish yet..i expect every minute of possibly crash or something else,w-fi is just unacceptable from the starting point. Come on,this is the most essential part of the OS..if you get what i'm trying to say perhaps not ! i know the consequences of using unfinished software but it's fundamental feature. For Other,i just can careless about it.

No, Wi-Fi is not the most essential part of an OS. And once again, this is not intended for people to be using on an everyday basis, it's intended solely for developers to get some of their apps ready for Lion. There is no focus right now on making sure every last feature works, or making sure animations are smooth. If you're having Wi-Fi issues, then quit using this build and wait for a newer one to come out.

It's a problem with your specific model, I would assume. I don't have problems with wi-fi here. If you have a problem, report a bug with your exact model on the bug tracker; I assume you know where that is.

Just noticed that Apple has *finally* given up on the "Airport" name for Wi-Fi:

I notice this (also noticed they are replacing "Spaces" with "Desktops") and I'm not a fan of it. I actually liked the AirPort name.

Merge folders, yes. Cut/paste, not sure. I'm not looking at my Lion installation right now.

Merging is great enough! Right now, it's extremely disruptive to workflow to have to switch to a command line to merge two source directories. This alone will probably make it worth the purchase.

do you believe that we have to wait for final releases so that Mozilla and others release updated versions of their programs with the new GUI settings such as lighter grey, iOS scrollbars and full screen button? I wouldn't expect Firefox 4 to update now though :D maybe by Firefox 5. There are some programs which are fine without tweaks, maybe they use native apis for the GUI?

@Brian simply by pressing CMD+Shift+4+SPACE to take the screen we want.

Any new icons in Lion?

All Sidebar icons are grey now (iTunes 10 style) and can be set to multiple sizes: 16, 24 and 32 pixels. There are new icons for new features obviously like "All my Files", "AirDrop", "Launchpad" etc. But the overall system set has remained in the same style. I don't expect Apple to introduce new folder icons because the Mac OS X Leopard set works perfectly with new Aqua as well.

Beyond that Apple bumped the maximum icon size to 1024 x 1024 pixels. We have one example of that: Preview.

For those who have been playing with dev preview: Have you people found any major bug that makes system unusable?

So far no. The first Developer Preview is remarkably stable and pretty much everything seems to work. I've noticed some bugs with full screen apps and with them not returning to normal windowed mode properly. Overall the interface seems a bit less responsive than Mac OS X Snow Leopard and the new theme is still rough around the edges.

I haven't ever used a first Mac OS X Developer Preview before that felt this finished. As it seems Mac OS X Lion is pretty far ahead in the development cycle at this point.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
