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.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
