Slacky McSlackAss Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 The new OSX version is right around the corner. It's slated for release in July from the app store for $29.99 (imagine that, not having to pay $100 for a new OS version. Take note Microsoft). They've added a ton of cool features to the OS including more multitouch gestures and the launchpad screen (similar to an iPhone app screen). http://www.apple.com/macosx/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeysc23 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Are they doing a Mac pro refresh anytime soon. New mac pros should be out soon as they are at the end of their current cycle. Macrumors.com is good to check for stuff like that. Will def be getting lion. I like how it's a straight download no need for CD's or anything like that.

Homercles82 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 "High-resolution cursor In Lion, the cursor is crisp and sharp at larger sizes." Set up your Mac in any language Lion supports 23 different languages in VoiceOver, so you can set up your Mac in almost any language New look Address Book features a new look. Browse your contacts without the clutter of a sidebar or status bar. As you scroll, your contact list displays alphabetical dividers so you always know where you are. Yearless birthdays You can now add birthdays to your contacts without including a year. Cancel transfer To cancel an incoming transfer, open the Downloads stack and click the X that appears on the icon. Turn FaceTime off If you don’t want to receive FaceTime calls, you can turn it off in preferences. All My Files Instantly view all the files on your Mac in a single window in the Finder. All My Files gathers all your files — no matter where they’re located — and displays them in an organized view. It’s smart about what it collects, showing only files you commonly open, such as documents, images, and videos, while leaving out system files. New look iCal features a streamlined new look that gives you more room to browse and edit your events. The calendars list reveals itself only when you click Calendars. So now almost the entire window is dedicated to your calendar, giving you a beautiful view of your events by day, week, month, or year. Delete apps Launchpad makes it easy to delete apps you downloaded from the Mac App Store. Hold down an app icon until all the icons start to jiggle. Then click an app’s Delete button (x) to uninstall the app. You can also delete an app by dragging the icon to the Trash. When you delete an app from Launchpad, it is completely removed from your computer. If you want to get an app back, simply download it again from the Mac App Store. Search the web When you choose Search Web from the Spotlight menu, Safari opens and displays search results using your default search engine. Search Wikipedia When you choose Search Wikipedia from the Spotlight menu, the Dictionary application opens and displays the Wikipedia entry for the term. Full-screen Chess Take Chess full screen and turn your Mac into a virtual chessboard. Additional fonts Lion includes new Damascus, PT Sans, and Kefa fonts. The list goes on and on. All of the above are listed as features on the OSX Lion features page. I think the most amazing one is having full-screen chess. $30 worth right there folks.

Elessar78 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 won't they run out of great cats to name these OS after? After Lion, you can't really go back to Lynx or Jaguar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackest Eyes Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Are they doing a Mac pro refresh anytime soon. The new Sandy Bridge chips that would be used aren't released until the end of this year or early next year. I wouldn't expect a new Mac Pro until next year.
