So what I noticed is Mission Control remains useful as long as you don't have more than three windows open per application.

It also starts to break down if you have 10 or more Spaces. While almost no one will ever have that many, I created 10 Spaces just for testing, and the UI is really screwed up.

The Spotlight Menu finally has Quick Look on mouse-over. (Y)

Noticed this myself, and really liking it. The icons also seem to be a bit larger, so you can be even more sure it's the file you need before clicking on it.

I'm seeing a lot of people say you have to upgrade from 10.6.6, it's not true! They have just changed how you access disk utility as there is no longer the Utilities menu in the installer.

You have to choose to quit the installer from the Install OS X menu (when you boot from the disk image) and a new menu will appear that allows you to access disk utility.

First time i installed it, I upgraded and suffered from a lot of issues. Second time was a clean install and it's so much better.

Yea, there are some very serious issues with Mission Control. :/

Making the user's Library folder hidden seems like a pretty retarded move. Let's break it down: I can't see my own preferences and support files, but I do still have regular access to the System and Library (system) folder. Yes, that makes real sense...

LOL well that made me laugh... When sending an email with Mail 5 the composed message window will fly up from screen as if it's being blasted into the sky. When replying to an email the window will drop down with an arch animation. Funny touch! (Y) :laugh:

Right now I just wish the iOS/Lion scrollbars would work in Google Chrome, it's really off-putting to see them now. :D

So, I can install Lion as a fresh partition without duplicating my SL install?

Yeah...

Oh, and LogMeIn doesn't work on Lion, I cannot remote view another Mac, plugin requires 32-bit Safari, any idea if I can launch Safari in 32-bit mode?

EDIT: Found it, but it still doesn't work. D'OH! Cannot use Logmein at all on Lion, going to need to VMWare just to Remote into iMac at home :(

Can anyone check this for me for quicklook. If you quicklook through a folder of images, does it automatically resize to the exact image dimensions rather than the image sizing up/down to fit the quicklook window?

It resizes the Quick Look window now, unless image is smaller than the minimum size of the Quick Look window. In that case, it just shows the image at actual pixels in the center of the Quick Look window instead of scaling it up and pixelating it like it used to.

    • 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

      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 LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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.
