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.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
