I HATE APPLE

integrated search/address bar alone makes chrome worth it imo

ff has that, although they do different things.

still have no idea why when you type a search in the location bar safari can't figure it out.

because it is stupid and ugly

and slow and it sucks

it also fucked my mom

wait, no that was brushed steel

gbanged by iLife

this is the first osx release i havent installed immediately, just getting weird vibes idk

^^^^

i usually wait > 6 months. they haven't been urgent since 10.4 and this one has nothing i need and makes quite a lot of changes that are going to bother me until i get used to them.

i you know 'like new things' but lion ehh, seems kinda rapey

loool

^^^^

My computer (brand new 27" iMac) has been freezing about 3 times an hour since I upgraded to Lion, forcing a hard reboot, been scouring the web for a couple weeks, even called apple, did some stuff, moved some things, deleted some more things...

finally found this...

lol flash

ridiculous

I love how Jobs dumped Flash for being crap and Adobe basically spent the following three years proving it.

flash player 11 beta SEEMS to've solved that issue for me

Lion kinda killed my battery life compared to Snow Leopard, but I think that was mostly ClickToFlash no longer working in Safari. I trashed Flash this morning and things are already better.

what's a good replacement for Click2Flash for Lion? I'm hating all the autoloading flash again.

there's a click2flash safari extension

Yeah, I just grabbed it. Works well, but I miss the little gear menu that allowed whitelisting entire pages/domains.

just bought my parents a 21.5" iMac but nice move apple, can't universally set the system font size to be bigger (they're old, you see.)

any ideas beyond manually setting the font settings of each app they would use? (which is only like 2 or 3 but the menu bar still has small font.)

some people recommend tinkertools - is that good?

is flash safe to install now?

dayo: my mom has vision problems too, bigtime, and she just uses the magnifying feature under the universal access control panel

is flash safe to install now?

installed by default and buggy as hell on lion.

yeah I've looked at that, not ideal obviously ("you never had to do this in windows!") but maybe they'll learn

nice that most browsers have a minimum font setting now, that helps

also lol that this hueg bright monitor is giving me a headache within 15 mins of using it

when i say lion is slow, i am talking about shit like useless new finder animations and long pauses when switching between windows.

also it's frustrating that my trackpad thinks i'm doing one of the 800 new multitouch gestures when i'm just working fast

thanks for the click2flash tip! I have it working now again, thank goodness.

hmm setting the screen rez to 1600x900 makes it better and doesn't crapify the monitor TOO much

I keep command-Q quitting finder, and all of my desktop icons disappear and the menu bar disappears, and it takes 5-10 seconds before they show up again. is this ... intended?

wow the apple store's website really shits the bed when you force it beyond a font size of 12

so during the grand demonstration, the imac froze from a webpage w/ flash loaded

thanks adobe

thought briefly about downgrading to snow leopard, but the idea of having to download 4.5 gigs over DSL in case I want to go back to lion was intimidating

I feel my control over my mac is slowly being eroded as steve jobs stamps on my face with his white new balance 991s forever

have had very few problems with lion

I'm still struggling to think of one single thing about Lion that made it worth upgrading from SL.

new mail app

mission control is kind of bogus as is launchpad which is dashboard for apps? didn't notice anything else tbh except that I can't put lion on any physical media that I own

waiting for the ars review

it's already out?

High-resolution cursor
In Lion, the cursor is crisp and sharp at larger sizes.

cool, Apple

Yearless birthdays
You can now add birthdays to your contacts without including a year.

! fuck yes

didn't notice anything else tbh except that I can't put lion on any physical media that I own

I haven't installed Lion yet but I like the sound of revision histories and not having to tell TextEdit et al whether I want to save each goddam file when I close the app/shut down.

dayo, Apple just updated its support page with some thing that lets you create an external recovery disk for Lion: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433

yeah but it still doesn't let me upgrade sl on this mbp to the lion of our new imac, the stingy fuckers

ugh

Update on my "flash issue," here is a 53 page (and counting) thread on my exact issue:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3194165?start=0&tstart=0

Its not just limited to Flash either, any type of video AT ALL. Brand new comp and cant watch any type of video, awesome!

Lion sucks.

does rkaufmann eventually concede that there's a real problem?
