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.

Doesn't it support OpenGL 3.2? So it should work fine with OpenGL 3.0 stuff :/

    • 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.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • 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
