If you're an OS X Lion user, you might be looking into different ways to adjust the system features to your own needs accordingly. Lion Tweaks is a new free tool that changes specific settings in Lion to make it more visually-appealing, or maybe just work better for you.
If you're familiar with OS X Lion, you're probably aware that the new system is no longer sold on a physical optical medium. For recovery purposes, users can simply hit the Command + R key combination at bootup, but what if that feature fails for some unforeseen reason?
Apple has today quietly released a new addition to the iMac line, with the aim of the game clearly to bring an affordable iMac to the table - a table that you must be in education in order to sit at.
Apple today has seeded a new build of OS X Lion 10.7.2 to developers. The update brings an updated version of iCloud, Safari and a new build of Lion (11C35) which is required for the transition from MobileMe to iCloud.
According to Jefferies & Co analyst Peter Misek, Apple could be planning to phase out OS X while introducing a new operating system, supposedly a blend between the 10-year-old platform and iOS. According to Misek, the next-generation MacBook Air will be the first to sport the change as soon as next year followed by other Mac computers in the next few years.
OS X Lion - a major upgrade to Apple’s desktop OS - was released on 20th July. This release was download-only from the Mac App Store, meaning users with more than one Mac had to download the 4GB file separately on each of their Macs.
OS X Lion, which hit the market a few weeks ago, includes as many as 250 new features and enhancements. One of those is a brand-new set of desktop backgrounds which would look very nice on any operating system. That's why we put together an archive of all the wallpapers that are built into Lion which you can use with any operating system. Whatever system you're using, some of these will certainly look good.
With Apple's attention very much turned to OS X 10.7 Lion, they could be forgiven for giving Snow Leopard (10.6) the cold shoulder. The latest release of Snow Leopard, which brought the version number up to Mac OS X 10.6.8, has been out for a few weeks now and those not upgraded to Lion have been using it with relatively little issues.
While primary attention is still being given to desktop apps, we are slowly and steadily seeing focus shift to powerful web apps thanks to the advancement of web browsers and technologies like HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. This is evidenced by OS-level projects like Chrome OS and Joli OS as well as products like Mozilla Prism or the built-in feature on Internet Explorer 9 & Google Chrome which allows users to integrate web applications with the desktop.
If your computer usage requires as much processing power as you can get, one of the factors that might be holding you back from upgrading to OS X Lion might be a possible performance drop. It now turns out that both Snow Leopard and Lion perform similarly on the same hardware, with irrelevant variations that should not greatly impact performance, for good or worse.
