Mac OSX Lion.

That may be the way he did it but it doesn't preclude the laptop display from being the primary. I tested it that way, and it worked. I've got safari full screen on the laptop and chrome running on the second monitor.

OK, this is where things get a bit murky. Chrome doesn't use the OS X hooks go go fullscreen. Ditto VLC and Firefox. But can you make Safari go full screen on the secondary display? Opera uses it's own full screen code too, and annoyingly blanks out the doc and menu bar on the primary screen (but not running apps). Outlook, Thunderbird, and a few more don't have any full screen option. iTerm doesn't want to go fullscreen at all (it did under 10.6 - now the option is just greyed out), which is a bother because for work (as in my job) I use a browser on the primary and terminal on the secondary.

TBH I don't really care for fullscreen - the space saving is minimal compared to maximising the window - so I don't use it.

[-]Also, from what I've seen Apple has also changed the default behaviour when you click on the maximise button - except in Safari that is.[/-]

Edit - I'm not so sure about that now.

haven't had any problems on a 13'' mbp 2010

None that i can see anyways

 

[Grimspoon]

Only thing that has really pissed me off about Lion is the lack of PowerPC application support.

No more Warcraft 3, Diablo 2, Starcraft 1

Have you plugged it into an external monitor?

I think Apple said right from the start that they were dropping powerpc and rosetta support in lion, it shouldn't of been that much of a shock.

What problems? I see my 13" has the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M but I haven't noticed anything amiss.

Yeah I have, I think I am just going to do that. Didn't really want to but will solve all my gaming issues.

I think it is the 330M nvidia chip in the 15 and 17 inch

Ok so I have downloaded Lion ...

A problem I've seen so far is that the Vodafone software will have to be updated.
Maybe we can use this thread to note any problems as they are identified.

I bought a new Vodafone USB modem K3770 from Vodacom yesterday and I can't get it to work on my Macbook pro or Macbook Air, both with OS X Lion installed. I tried with the Vodafone Mobile Broadband software that comes on the stick, the installation halts about 15% into the process without giving any error messages. I also tried with Vodafone mobile brooadband 4.01.08 but no luck. Ironically it works fine on my Pentium 4 HP notebook with Win XP :-(

I think there is new software from Vodacom http://www.vodacom.co.za/vodacom/services/Broadband/Broadband+on+the+Move/Broadband+software+for+Mac+OS+X+Lion?selected=4_a_Bro_0_Bro_1433&ciFormat=default&ht=t
Not sure if this is the correct link.

Buy Lion on the app store, then print out proof that you bought it. Go to an iStore and you can get a disk for R75. If you bought your mac from them then it is free.

Lion is great, but I have 2 issues:
1. My mac seems to be a bit sluggish? Is this because I upgraded? Have not re-installed OSX since I got the machine, beginning of last year.
2. What the hell happened to 4 finger swipe up for Show Desktop? Now it's some gay 3 finger spread! And no way to restore it! This is REALLY irritating for me.
