Mac OS X Lion Discussion


Recommended Posts

You have to extract the DMG from the Installer package contents and restore it a USB-stick, SDHC card, DVD or whatever. I'm trying it as we speak.

Last time around I really did get a good look at Mac OS X Lion performance-wise because I did an upgrade from Mac OS X Snow Leopard. :/

Edit: Yup, the DMG is bootable once you restore it to another drive.

Thanks I'll try that tonight :D

how so?

An option in System Preferences?

Finally got the new Lion build running on my MacBook - lot's of bugs have been addressed, some new ones are present, and some haven't been fixed. Overall, performance seems to be improved.

Does anyone know where the download is for Java for this build? Thanks.

Safari looks nicer in this build. I love the new window chrome, light grey with dots on them like the folder icons.

The animations seems less smoother though compared to DP1. However, I'm not experiencing the stability issues PyX complained about.

What exactly is the function of the Launchpad icons shaking? Unlike iOS I can drag them around in Mac OS X Lion while they're not shaking as well...

Maybe I'm missing something...

I still don't get why some windows animate while opening while some others don't.

Screens please?

Screens please?

It's hard to show the very minor change with a typical screenshot, so I had to zoom in quite a bit:

Leopard and Snow Leopard had a glossy, plastic look, whereas Lion has a "speckled" appearance.

After rebooting, things were a little more stable.

The window animations is a GUI issue. They need to either remove them all, or apply them to every window. Honestly, they?re damn sexy when they?re there. It reminds me of when Gimpy pops up in The Undergrads in Nitz?s OS 9 computer.

Flipping through pages to iCal is screwed up. Sometimes when you go back in time, the animation actually flips to the next page, but it shows you the good thing, and vice versa.

What?s new in Safari in DP2 that wasn?t there in DP1? I think I?m missing something.

What I don't get is why Disk Utility animates when opening it for example, but Address Book doesn't. Makes no sense. The Preview toolbar icons look weird too, way too heavy drop shadows.

What I don?t get is why Disk Utility has large, colorful icons in its toolbar, when Finder, Safari, Mail and Preview don?t.

I just puked in my mouth a little. That looks horrendous! :x

Sorry for the private question, but what did your puke look like?

Coincidently, mine looked EXACTLY like the new iCal texture : rusty brown with unidentified dots floating around.

Hasn't been updated since ages that's why...

Yeah, while they?re at playing with ZFS and TRIM support, maybe they should do a major UI/GUI overhaul with this app. It?s starting to be urgent.

    • Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
