Apple’s new OS X Lion operating system includes a super cool hidden “easter egg” that pays tribute to the company’s CEO. The discovery was made by one discerning Lion user who reported his find to Cult of Mac.
Apple’s latest operating system, OS X Lion, introduces over 250 new features to the Mac, and is a steal at just £20.99 ($29.99). Especially when you compare it to Windows – it’s biggest rival – which currently retails from around £120. It’s not such great value, however, if Apple decides to charge you for it 122 times.
A report published earlier today, by Taiwanese trade publication Digitimes, claims that Apple are lining up a number of Taiwanese-based component suppliers in an effort to keep the next-generation iPad competitive with rival products – tipped to launch later this year.
Not made the switch from Snow Leopard to Lion yet? Apple released a revised version of its 10.6.8 update late yesterday, which should make the transfer of personal data, settings and compatible apps much smoother – when you do decide to upgrade.
Apple uploaded a new iPad 2 TV advert to its YouTube Channel yesterday. Titled ‘We’ll Always’, it continues the theme of previous adverts – showcasing, in an understated way, some of the different things you can do on the iPad 2.
On Thursday, Apple announced that over one million users bought & downloaded OS X Lion on day one of its release. My personal opinion is that unless you rely on older PowerPC applications, that won’t work under the new OS, there are enough improvements to make upgrading worthwhile. But if you need more convincing, I’ve put together a collection of links to some of the best Lion reviews.
It would appear that a small number of both 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMacs sold between May and July this year, may have shipped with defective 1TB Seagate hard drives. As a precaution, Apple have issued a replacement program which will allow affected customers to get the drives replaced for free.
Apple’s iPod touch has traditionally followed in the iPhone’s footsteps with a number of new features, including its front and rear-facing cameras, and its high-resolution Retina display. Next up for adoption could be a trendy white front panel.
Apple launched its eighth major release of Mac OS X yesterday in the form of Lion, an operating system that aims to take cues from iOS with over 250 awesome new features. Having installed the new OS on your Mac, however, you may have noticed problems with your Adobe software.
