If you take a moment and recall the number of features that iOS 5 brought to Apple’s mobile devices last year, you would remember that one of these features was a new app called “Reminders,” which allowed you to create, well, reminders for yourself that would be implemented with the new notification center brought in [...]

Yesterday, we posted about how a developer managed to hack Mac OS X Lion to run on the Samsung Series 7. Now, with a follow up, of sorts, on that story, we have a video released of the Samsung Windows 8 tablet successfully running Mac OS X, shown below:

The Series 7 computer from Samsung was supposed to run Windows 7, but one rebellious hacker has managed to get OS X Lion installed on the machine, as demonstrated in the video above. Lion runs pretty well in the video demonstration, but the biggest problem is that for some strange reason, you’ll need an external monitor to display the OS.

This third minor update to the Lion operating system released this summer is supposed to improve iCloud’s “documents in the cloud” feature, as well as add a few other improvements, according to AppleInsider. Apple has supposedly asked testers for the new OS to put their focus into iCal, Mail, Address Book, and iCloud.

Earlier today, Apple released its newest OS X 10.7.2 pre-release update – Build 11C37 – to developers solely for testing with iCloud features. At the same time, Apple also released the seventh Beta version of iCloud add-on installer.
As usual, this pre-release update is targeted specifically at developers so that they can refine and test out the new features in association with their own software.

A year ago, in January 2010, the development firm Illusion Labs adapted a Mac version of its popular iOS skate boarding game Touchgrind. The new Mac version fully utilized the sophisticated multi-touch trackpad of Mac’s, and showed just how great for gaming they are.

For those of you who don’t know HumbleBundle, it’s quite different from all other “bundle” deals for software that you may find online. First of all, it only deals with games, so for those of you who are more gaming oriented, listen up. Secondly, one of the biggest perks is that the software is all DRM free. What does that mean? It means there’s no limitations on what you can and cannot do with the games. You’re allowed to install them as many times as you want, and they work for all three major operating systems: Windows, Linux, and Mac. Additionally, you can also get Steam redeem codes for the games, which is great. And best of all, it’s a great way to support charity, developers, etc.
Read More →Apple just seeded OS X 10.7.2 alongside a new iCloud for Lion beta 5. The 10.7.2 seed appears to only contain changes to support iCloud Beta 5. It should be noted that Apple skipped 10.7.1 release, and has made no mention of it yet. Why? We’re speculating that it’s probably going to be a bug fix update for OS X Lion 10.7, and will be released sometime in the near future. Apple has provided an update for Lion just less than a week after its release, beating its own record of 16 days for an update when Snow Leopard was released.

Yesterday, we wrote a tutorial helping users find out which apps would not be compatible with OS X Lion. We mentioned that PowerPC apps were the biggest ones that would lose support, and now we’re here to update you that many of Freeverse’s games are also not going to be updated for Apple’s latest operating system. Why, you ask? Freeverse cites concerns that the gaming experience in Lion wouldn’t be as good as it was for their games in Snow Leopard, and therefore will not be updating many of its games for Lion.

Apple first announced a while back that people who purchase Macs between June 6th, 2011, and Lion’s launch date (July 20th, 2011) would get the $29.99 Lion download for free. Now, Apple has updated the offer, extending the offer. The new system has become a little bit more complicated, however. Read on for details.
Read More →According to an Apple report, the company’s new operating system (which I’m sure everyone who’s reading this has heard of by now,) Lion, has been downloaded over 1 million times on launch day. This is the fastest adoption of any Apple operating system in history (probably due to the fact that it can be downloaded on the Mac App Store, which makes it very accessible to users.) Some more from Apple, who gloatingly reported its sales in a press release today:

With the release of Lion today, probably one of the biggest concerns that people have is the compatibility of their Leopard or Snow Leopard apps on the new operating system (I know that’s one of the biggest reasons I won’t be upgrading any time soon, but other members of our team will have tips and tutorials for Lion.) Helpfully, Adobe, the company behind some of the most popular applications in the world, has come up with a list of known issues for their various products while running on OS X 10.7 Lion. The page, available here, even goes to list product specific issues, which is great. We encourage more app developers to do this. Check out this page if you’re worried about your Adobe apps being compatible with Lion.

This is the first time that Apple is actually not offering any form of physical media device store its operating system, Lion. Or so we thought. According to Apple, for those who want a physical version of the operating system or do not have a fast enough internet connection to download Lion, the company will be offering USB thumb drives to install Lion with for $69 in its Apple retail stores. These are expected to launch just next month, in August 2011:

With the release of new Mac Minis and Macbook Airs today, Apple has also introduced a new feature called “Internet Recovery,” which allows users of the new devices to install OS X Lion, even if the Mac has a failed or blank hard drive. Note that this feature is only available for these new devices, and probably all future ones as well. If you own an older device (which basically all of us do,) you will have to reinstall Snow Leopard, then get Lion from a self-made DVD or USB key. Grueling process, we know. Here’s some more information about Internet Recovery:
