Apple prides itself with its ability to get existing Mac owners to upgrade to its latest and greatest version of Mac OS X, and OS X 10.7 Lion is no different.

Apple has just released its quarterly earnings report, and many of the figures are, somewhat predictably, the company’s highest to date.

OS X Lion, which was finally released to the public last month, includes many improvements, such as support for full-screen apps and reliability additions such as AutoSave. Yet, if you’re finding it hard to cope with such a radical change or some apps that are essential to you aren’t yet compatible with the new system, it might be a good idea to move back to Snow Leopard. If you’re wondering how, this guide is for you.

If you’re a Mac user and live and breathe Skype, or just use it occasionally to talk to your distant friends, you might be happy to know that the application has been updated to add support for OS X Lion as well as HD video chats. These improvements come in the form of Skype 5.3 which is available to the public today.

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.

If you’re an OS X Lion user, you’re probably aware of Launchpad, a new view that displays all apps installed on the system at a quick glance. While extremely convenient, it can become overwhelming for users who have a lot of apps installed. Thankfully, there’s a new tool that lets you hide specific apps from Launchpad.

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.

The answer is yes! Thanks to a fairly straightforward guide written by Tonymac, you could have your Hackintosh running Lion in no time.

With OS X Lion out the gate and 1 million copies already downloaded, you might be wondering what’s in it for you? This is a no-nonsense list of the 10 best reasons you should upgrade to OS X Lion today. Whether you browse the web all day, write essays day in or day out or just love your iPhone, Lion has something for you.

OS X Lion, the newest version of Apple’s operating system targeted at Mac computers, has sold 1 million copies since it became available yesterday, Apple claims, making this release the fastest-selling version of Mac OS X in Apple’s history.

Apple set free OS X Lion to the general public yesterday. The only way to upgrade to the new OS was by way of downloading it from the Mac App Store. Apple has received its fair share of criticism for making Lion download-only. This limitation makes it so that if you have multiple Macs at home, you have to download Lion on each PC (yes, they are personal computers after all) separately. We’re going to solve this issue for you today, by making a Bootable Flash Drive of Lion!

One of the greatest features in Lion is the ability to maximize apps to full-screen, even in apps where traditionally a full-screen mode wouldn’t make that much sense, as long as developers choose to add it in. If they haven’t, luckily, there’s a way you can implement full-screen mode yourself that works with most apps, system-wide.
