In the evening (or early in the morning on New York City time) June 20, 2011, Apple rolled out in the application store a new version of its desktop operating system - Mac OS X Lion. It costs quite like a godly ($ 30), to the same electronic delivery is especially pleasant - no need to wait until the box dovezut to our retail and not hang a price tag on it with some strange numbers in rubles. Take it and enjoy. Not only that - is installed on all their computers, buying a time. Do not resist and not go look at the "Lion" was simply impossible. Here are five new features that I liked the most after one and a half days of use.
1. Installation and Recovery Partition. Does anyone setting "Lion" will certainly result in a crash, crash, fire and invasion by extraterrestrials. I'm not afraid to give at the mercy of his working notebook, and have not regretted. Of course, not the promised utsanovka took 33 minutes, and a good two hours, but the process was smooth and required to press only two buttons ("buy" and "set"), and on the road even entertained fascinating report, which I guess to pull in the Window menu . So I was able to witness how the hard drive was nip off a small new section in the future can be used to run Disk Utility, and (if the patient is very poor) to reinstall the system. Moreover, the section did not shove the image of the system - in case of need it will be downloaded from the Internet.
2. Mission Control was pleasant to me neozhiddanno function. I had not even used the "general» Exopsé, giving preference to show the windows of one application. The problem was that I would never minimize windows programs, and they often congregate in great numbers under each other. Mission Control solves this problem by collecting the window of each program in a neat pile. Managed virtual desktops, too simple - win over the window in the top row, and it immediately took a clean desktop.
3. Mail. mailer - a complex and intricate program. These fans e-mail set up yourself for a few servers, create a lot of folders and filters, are a long correspondence, mailing lists are, and so on. It is not easy to make the interface at the same time elegant, easy to understand for beginners, but not annoying limitations of those who sit in the mail more than one hour per day. The Apple borrowed a couple of good ideas from the mailer Sparrow, and came out fine (but not for the Sparrow, alas). Personally, I like the most updated search with smart tips.
4. Safari. Browser does not only got a button with hipsterskimi points that cause "reading list". He is now, as Google Chrome, launches a separate process for the pages, and should not fall apart with the noise, happen in it something bad. In a stressful situation, we test it failed, but judging by the list of processes, it works as promised. There is another nice thing - otlistyvanie pages back dvupaltsevym gesture. And not just changes the browser page, new moves, so that you can see where the old one. You can not even flip to the end - just to peep, what was there at the last site.
5. AirDrop. When two people are put on the table and laptops can not throw a file without using a flash drive or upload it to the Internet - it sadly makes clear, what may be helpless of our favorite technology. MacBook and have never hit the screen in the mud - any of them can itself create an ad-hoc network. But with AirDrop even easier - a network set up in advance and on the "radar screen" can be seen the emergence of other computers that support the technology. No third-party Wi-Fi is not required. To transfer a file, simply drag it to the portrait of a man - that will offer immediately. That would still chat here!
