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.

    • 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.

    • 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.
