Operating system, Mac OS X to the new version - 10.7 Lion. Among the innovations of many beautiful and even brilliant, there are annoying things (they are listed in the post " OS X Lion: Irritation "), but most of those that can not be assigned to any one nor the other category. Sometimes these innovations prichinayut inconvenience, but sometimes it is there - the main foundation for the future.
1. Upside-down scrolling. The first thing you show after you download Lion - it's the fingers that make seemingly not quite a decent gesture. No, Apple did not think to insult the user - just warn that the touchpad, Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad now squander the page as well as the iPad or iPhone: pull down - the page goes down, pull up - the page up. In the setting such a regime "natural." Well, the reason is: it is possible to imagine that we draw the page itself, rather than the slider bar. But in the habit will take some time and moral strength, and if sometimes we have to use older versions of Mac OS X or other operating systems, the torment will never end. Why are there - for the company to reverse course and switched the wheel on a conventional mouse. Maybe it correctly, but after ten years of training accustom himself to turn the wheel in the opposite direction on the complexity - about how to change your stride.
2. Closing keep healthbars from closing the program. During the presentation, we were promised Lion, now that the adults as computers and iPhone and aypadah can not take care of closing the program (they will leave themselves when run out of memory) and do not tremble for the safety of data (all remain very .) Showed even a new version of the dock - no blue "bulbs" for the program icon. What actually happened? Light bulbs in place, the program itself will not unload and restore its past state of only some of them (mostly - by the very Apple). As a result, a program to keep everything very easily and then recovered, others will not result in compliance with new standards for a long time. Alas, the transition takes time, and half the developers was not enough.
3. Too deeply hidden version. "Versions" - absolutely brilliant thing. Support their own programs from time to time retain the contents of the documents, then any time you can compare current work with the saved automatically onim (or, if you wish - by hand) the old options. But how many people will notice that on the document name in the title bar now, you can click and see the menu? But even knowing, not in a hurry to climb back - on request to show the old version, the computer will think first, then tell an animation and leisurely in front of the eyes appear familiar to Time Machine star abyss. In order to quickly peek at an old sketch, too much hassle.
4. "Non-local" Launchpad. Everything is so easy to understand the concept of application iOS, that Apple could not resist and brought "home screen" on Mac OS X. But the old way to run the program, too, is still here - there is a dock and a folder Applications - all as before. In Launchpad can not even delete the program, not downloaded from a Mac App Store. As a result, the meaning of such a grand undertaking several lost. Yes, it makes OS X more like iOS, but it's easier from that so far no one will be, but confusing.
5. Open the application in full screen - not a new invention, and even not very new. However, with nuance - you can move between programs, leading the three fingers on the touchpad or two - on the Magic Mouse. Not to say that the full-screen mode was not needed, but in those applications that benefit from involve any extra pixels, it was supported before. But now the whole screen or you can open Safari, for example, iTunes. There is no doubt that this will be useful to tridtsatidyuymovyh "IMAC" - rather, the Apple preparing to sell a lot of thousand- MacBook Air, and urged on all for them.
