I just saw the reports elsewhere and then saw the front page on the Apple site. I was shocked and I don't know what to say. It is indeed a very sad day. :( He was one of the greats of the industry, someone who, from what I've heard, had a considerable talent for discerning the good ideas...

My first reaction was that it is best to look at those who acted differently to the majority and determine why that was. Then again, you make a good point: if there people in similar areas and potentially similar situations, what makes some people act one way and others act another way? Of...

I can only hope the photo is not genuine. I'm not wanting to contribute to sensationalism about Steve Jobs' health and, in fact, I've not liked it when the media have talked about this a lot, but I'm feeling quite concerned for him recently. There is also news that his biography is being...

I just saw the news. I was immediately concerned, not so much for Apple but for the man himself. From his statement about not being able to fulfill his duties, my first thoughts were of his health. Steve Jobs' resignation statement: Apple's follow-up statement:

A few people picked up on this tongue-in-cheek post on Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/SCDSoundsystem/status/100679073600249856

A little late to this as I've been offline recently, but the topic of discussion is certainly a big question over here. Regardless of whether or not the Olympics should be held in London (some Londoners want them, some don't), I think it is going a bit far to suggest they should now be moved...

Either Apple is only showing some of the included software or else there is an inconsistency here. On the Tech Specs page for the MacBook Pro (http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs.html), it currently says: Yes, this is what I suspect too. The timing of the loss of iDVD and iWeb coincides too...

I perhaps should have been more careful with my wording. My initial thoughts were about whether this indicated the future direction of iLife products, but my later thoughts were about how that, in turn, would relate to Apple's plans for the Mac platform, specifically for OS X and available...

Good luck! And let us know how it goes...

Oh, fun... Sorry to hear you're having these troubles, especially if it was on a clean install. I've heard a few stories of increased CPU usage, higher RAM demands (I'm hearing 2 GB is marginal, for example), increased heat, fans kicking in a lot more often, and decreased usage time when...

Thanks for the thoughts. I agree, Rhisiart, I'm not too keen on some of the fiddling with the GUI and the resulting inconsistency. It also seems the "traffic light" buttons on windows have become smaller for some reason. Hopefully there won't be any more of the vertical arrangement, like we...

So... How many people here have gone ahead and upgraded to Lion? Did you perform a standard upgrade or did you try a clean installation? What things do you like and what things do you not like? I'm still holding off for the moment. I like exploring new software, but I'm being cautious as...

In a press release, Apple have also said they will make Lion available on a USB drive in August. Rhisiart: Maybe you could have Apple strap one to the leg of a carrier pigeon? ;)

In Apple's quarterly earnings call, it was announced by Peter Oppenheimer (CFO) that OS X Lion will be launched tomorrow (July 20th). The upgrade will be available via the Mac App Store. Now to see how the servers bear up under the strain! ;) Although I'm curious to play with the new OS, I'm...
