I downloaded this today. It's kinda weird because it feels so different to OSX Snow Leopard, yet strangely familiar because they've taken so many aspects of iOS and copied them.

I really like fullscreen apps, super easy to switch between them using a three finger horizontal swipe, its great for things like Mail and iTunes to just leave open in the background.

Mission Control I 'get', but I'm probably not the target because I rarely have more than a few programs open.

They've also put in 'Natural' Scrolling. It's really weird at first, push up and the page goes down, just like on a phone. You get used to it fairly quickly though, then it feels normal. Pages now have the same 'bounce' as on an iPhone too. Now when you type it also does the same iPhone auto-correct thing where the word pops up and you can click on it.

There's a few other cool things too but I haven't really come across them yet.

Anyways, it's nothing too major, but for $32 I reckon it's a worthwhile upgrade :)

hahaha inverting the scrolling is an awesome "feature" :P

have it installed on our sandbox / admin mac here at work, does not seem different at all, typical of Apple to charge for what is really a service pack.

Also lol @ the mac mini specs (esp the "higher end" one having dedicated video that's worse than the Intel HD graphics, and claims that with 2x SSD's it's faster than an Xserve with SAS disks!! :D)

oh it was part of the release of lion; the refresh of the Mac Mini and MBA.

pc users are hardly going over to OSX in their droves, and differently? half of these features have been in superior operating systems for years, the main trend with Lion I noticed was more of a crossover to an ios style desktop OS.

I've removed Mission Control and Launchpad from my dock, don't want/need them. Never used Expose, anyway.

First thing; switched the scrolling back to normal, and switched Mail back to the right way of displaying emails: problem is, when sorting by date (newest at bottom), in a thread, the newest will still be at the top. WHAT THE f**k GODDAMMIT

all in all, very nice, a few shiny bits I'm happy with. We're not supporting it for any staff at work until at least 10.7.2, so we'll hold out for bugfixes.

i have seen little bugs compared to slow leopard

most of the major issues i have seen have been issues that were happening in 10.6 that just got worse due to the upgrade such as node issues etc and conflicts with apps trying to change things in the OS that aren't the same and causing issues

most other bugs are just anoyances like doing and extra click on something and things like hot corners not working after using mission control till you use mission control again

Yeah, I'm not overly impressed with it.. Although I did find out my 2008 Macbook was too old for the multi point touch gestures... So I just invested in a Magic mouse.. Waiting for it to come now :D

Oh and I probably wouldn't have gotten Lion if I had to pay for it lol

It's supported on my macbook (core 2 duo)... but I don't have a multi touch trackpad, and the chipset of the wireless is the wrong kind...

So no gestures other than scrolling up and down, no AirDrop... useless "upgrade"...

Who said anything about Mac mini's? :huh:

At least Apple are willing to try things differently, thats why their market is expanding and the PC market is shrinking.

Sorry bro, Mac has just been Linux you pay for on a PC for quite some time.

I doubt Mac has even recovered to it's 2008 levels yet. Slipped 12% in desktop sales in 2009 and only increased 3% from it's lower level in 2010. With laptops and netbooks Apple is lucky to get 10% - Windows around 70%. Mobile devices? Windows gets slaughtered....but it's not by Apple. It's Symbian and Android.

Interesting that the percentage of people that are gay always sits very close the the percentage of people that use Apple products. Coincidence?

But you just backed up what I said? Mac is increasing, PC is decreasing. I never said they were the majority.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
