System error during the upgrade, need to update my MacBook to be able to upgrade the iPad. Another 800Mb download, restart and finally update the iPad.

Everything seems fine at the moment, except “The Settlers” icon that is missing on the desktop: not a big issue, the game is working!

With a new responsive dashboard and the HTML 5 ability to upload, Flash is not required anymore…

Download and full info…

Thanks Steve!

OSX Lion is here!

I really like to see the new mail:
OS X Lion introduces a whole new take on email. Mail puts your entire display to work with a gorgeous widescreen view featuring a full-height message and a message list that includes snippets. Conversations presents messages from the same thread in an elegant timeline showing each communication as it was sent while hiding redundant text. Mail also features search suggestions and search tokens, which help you find the messages you’re looking for fast. And a new favorites bar gives you easy access to the folders you use most often.

And Lion Server is now only $49.99 – a temptation price to give it a try

How to backup the Lion installer? Here is the full guide

Update
After having just completed the download the installed is automatically launched.
Now the first question is: where the installer is located?
Easy answer, check the “Applications” folder where you will find the installer: “Install Mac OS X Lion.app”

So you can also backup the installer simply by copying the “/Applications/Install Mac OS X Lion.app” file to your preferred media (DVD, USB key, etc.).

As easy as it can be!

More news after I run the update that will happen not before that the next weekend…

First impressions (after one week of use)
I am not impressed: everything looks like to run a bit slowly, sometimes even more than a bit…

Having some troubles in handling the second monitor when I use a full screen app on the first, basically the second one gets unusable.

Mail is nice, found a way to use GrowlMail as well but sometimes it seems that all my emails are lost as they disappear form the list. Suddenly they come back after a while.

Applying a new rule or re-applying old rules seem not to work properly.

Impatiently waiting for a fix to both issues and, hopefully, to get my Snow Leopard speed back.

After almost one month use
This morning Apple released the first upgrade (10.7.1). Immediately installed and it looks like some problems are gone away and the system looks a bit faster. Will let you know later.

Meanwhile, I found some tips about Lion that are worth to share. It make sense to spend some time reading them, I found several clues about how to make life easier with the big cat

Last year in March Apple filed a complaint asserting that HTC was violating 10 of its patents. An ITC administrative law judge decided that Apple was right at least on 2 of them.

Now it looks [...]]]> Hard weekend for HTC as ITC decided in its initial ruling that HTC is violating two of Apple’s patents.

Last year in March Apple filed a complaint asserting that HTC was violating 10 of its patents. An ITC administrative law judge decided that Apple was right at least on 2 of them.

Now it looks like that HTC products might be banned in the USA. As I am actually an HTC client – although not sure yet for how long more, due to HTC behavior toward its customers – I am wondering if this will happen also in Europe in the future.

Will I be able to buy future HTC products, if HTC changes behavior toward its customers, or will I get an iPhone 5?

Not bad at all!
