The great macdebate (now with roids)

full screen apps.....

The new two finger swipe is ace but I have a 27" screen here so never have full screen anything. Would be cool on a Macbook though.

Jealous of the Airs new backlit keyboard, I really miss that.

Swiping back pages in Safari is worth £21 alone. Must be careful with this Resume feature though

Sadly not surprising.

What is surprising is the the people working there really thinking they work for Apple

I missed that caption. That's really kinda hilarious.

All they need is a cardboard cut-out of Steve Jobs.

Be indistinguisable from the real thing.

Lion is out, is pretty slick.

Downloading now, 3.5 Gb will take about 3 hours on my rubbish Bt broadband.

Finally downloaded and now starting to install.

All they need is a cardboard cut-out of shrine dedicated to their Lord, Steve Jobs.

Fixed.

I'm lusting after one of the new MacBook Airs, although generally I'm not a Mac person, I only have a mini as a media box. I don't think I can justify spending that much though.

Turns out the store is a legit Apple reseller. Some **** reporting **** makes global news.

[Rossyra]

If they're a reseller they're not an Apple Store though, are they?

The one in Edinburgh had to drop its official look and name when the 'proper' Apple Store opened in Glasgow.

It's now called CanCom or something similarly meaningless

[pubjoe]

Still a bit of a lazy imbelishment of a non story though.

I'm glad yosai said that now, as I felt slightly evil about sniggering at this guy...

I'm in two minds about Lion. I haven't given it much time, but 'versions' came in handy within minutes, I like that mission control actually makes me use spaces, the trackpad I have actually gets used now as I feel like the gestures now have a point to them (the improved visual feedback on page swiping makes it 100 times more comfortable). I even like the scrolling switch.

...But then it just feels a bit floppy sometimes. Maybe that's just me?

I've replaced all my windows equipment with the exception of my server for Apple.

Everything is great, I have the 27" Mid-2011 iMac with 12GB Ram running Lion as my main machine and the iPad 2 for portable use.

The only thing that I find annoying running OSX is the lack of support with things like VMware, you have to go round the houses to get it to work. Not to mention home brew releases that use the BOR engine aren't written for MAC
