Back To The Mac.

Itulah yang Apple lakukan dengan penerus dari Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Dengan filosofi yang semuanya berawal dari kepiawaian Apple meramu iPhone yang fenomenal pada tahun 2007, Apps Store pada 2008, dan kemunculan iPad yang luar biasa animonya (bayangkan, hanya dalam 2 minggu iPad telah terjual sebanyak 3 juta unit diseluruh dunia!) Apple 'membawa' balik semua kemudahan dengan user interface yang simpel.

Berikut adalah beberapa fitur yang akan muncul pada Lion.

1. Mac App Store
Sama seperti berbelanja di App Store untuk iPad atau iPhone, Mac App Store membawa kemudahan bagi para pengguna Mac untuk membeli aplikasi yang mereka butuhkan langsung. Cukup dengan browsing dan membelinya, langsung di komputer Mac kalian. Begitu pula dengan cara penggunaannya. Cukup hanya dengan membeli, download, dan install seperti yang dilakukan pada iPad atau iPhone.


Mudah dan sederhana.

2. Launchpad
Launchpad kurang lebih seperti rumah pada apps. Memberikan akses secara instan bagi anda kepada aplikasi yang ada, dengan cara iPad/iPhone. Cukup klik icon Launchpad, maka windows yang ada akan hilang sementara dan digantikan dengan layar full screen berisi aplikasi yang ada di Mac anda.


Hebatnya, anda dapat menggunakan gesture sederhana untuk mengakses aplikasi yang ada melalui trackpad ataupun Apple Magic Mouse yang memang mendukung touch gesture, tak peduli berapapun banyak halaman aplikasinya. Begitupun juga dengan akses pembuatan folder atau organisasi penempatan aplikasi, gaya iPad/iPhone.

3. Full-screen Apps
Cara yang lebih baik untuk menikmati aplikasi yang digunakan. Pada iPad, setiap aplikasi terbuka secara full screen dan Lion melakukannya sama persis namun dengan sedikit lebih baik karena semua aplikasi kini dapat digunakan bergantian (apps switching) dengan begitu cepat dan mudah berkat gesture (click, swipe) dan tentunya karena dukungan sistem yang lebih baik pada Mac anda.


4. Mission Control
Kontrol utama pada Mac. Fitur ini merupakan fitur yang hebat dan memiliki kelebihan yang memungkinkan anda untuk melihat dan mengontrol apa saja dalam komputer Mac.


Bayangkan Exposé, Spaces, Dashboard, dan full screen apps dalam satu tempat yang sama. Seperti itulah Mission Control. Diakses dengan gesture swipe yang sederhana, Mission Control mengkategorikan windows yang terbuka, aplikasi yang sedang digunakan, Dashboard, dan bahkan Spaces yang ditempatkan dalam 1 pandangan layar. Aksesnya? Cukup butuh 1 klik.


Lion akan diluncurkan pada musim panas 2011, sesuai yang Steve Jobs katakan pada saat Apple Special Event Keynote awal Oktober lalu bersamaan dengan perkenalan MacBook Air baru.

Snow Leopard OS is years ahead of its competitor and sure it's goin' to get an awesome upgrade with this Lion. And i'm so excited guys for this Lion to hit the shelves soon.

Lion includes ‘AirDrop’ to simply transfer files to anyone on your WiFi network



Apple has announced that Mac OS X 10.7 Lion will include a brand new feature called ‘AirDrop.’ AirDrop sounds pretty simply but also very helpful for those with multiple computers or for those who need to constantly share files with others around them. They only catch, obviously, is that everyone needs to be on the same local WiFi network. The interface also sounds very cool judging by Apple’s description.

With AirDrop in Mac OS X Lion, you can send files to anyone around you —  wirelessly. AirDrop doesn’t require setup or special settings. Just click the AirDrop icon in the Finder sidebar, and your Mac automatically discovers other people nearby who are using AirDrop. You’ll even see contact photos for those who are already in your Address Book. To share a file, simply drag it to someone’s name. Once accepted, the file transfers directly to the person’s Downloads folder. When you’re done with AirDrop, close the Finder and your Mac is no longer visible to others.

Mac OS X 10.7 Lion features new System Information app



Searching for system information on a Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard can be confusing to the uninitiated. For example, if you're trying to figure out what RAM chips are installed in what slot on your device, you need to pop open About This Mac, click the More Info button, and then scroll down through the list of hardware, network, and software items until you find the proper info. Even then, if you're looking for details on how to upgrade your system RAM means you'll need to do a web search for instructions.

Mac OS X 10.7 Lion will have a new feature that should make it easier for everyone to quickly find the system data they need. A new app, System Information (see above), is available from About This Mac, but provides Mac owners with information displayed in a much more graphical and understandable way.

When launched, System Information initially shows two overview panes, one with data about the operating system and available software updates, and another displaying high-level info about the computer hardware. From the software pane, users can launch Software Update, while the old System Profiler can be launched by clicking the System Report button on the hardware pane.

Along the top of the System Information app are buttons for Displays, Storage and Memory. As expected, Displays shows the size, resolution, and graphics card being used for every display attached to a Mac. Storage provides colorful iTunes-like "fuel gauges" to show how much of your drive space is being used, and what exactly is taking up the most space. The disk formats that your removable storage drive can read or write are listed as well -- but only if your Mac has a SuperDrive. Memory not only displays the number of memory slots in your Mac, but whether or not they're currently occupied and upgradable. Need instructions on how to add memory? There's a link to memory upgrade instructions for your specific Mac.



Portable devices get an extra button for Battery, which displays information about the MacBook's battery, current charge level and power source, and whether the battery is actually working properly.

Two more buttons are on the top of the System Information app window. Support provides links to Mac OS X and Macintosh resources, such as user manuals and support pages. Service is handy if you're trying to find your warranty information or even purchase an AppleCare Protection Plan for your Mac.



As Mac OS X 10.7 Lion inches closer to release in the late summer, we'll be highlighting other new features to whet your appetite for the upgrade.

Mac OS X Lion sporting 1024x1024 icons, 3200x2000 wallpapers; Retina display Macs coming?



MacMagazine.com.br has posted an interesting find. Apparently the latest build of Lion includes some icons which are sized at 1024x1024. That's twice the current 512x512 size of icons in Snow Leopard (four times the pixel count, but 2x larger in each dimension). Additionally, on April 2nd, Mac blog OSXDaily found some of the default wallpaper resolutions in Lion to be as large as 3200×2000 pixels.

These wallpaper and icon size increases are interesting because, as far as the wallpaper resolution goes, Apple currently does not make a display that supports that high of a pixel density. Given the fact that Apple is bumping up its icon and wallpaper sizes, it could point to a future where Macs sport high-density Retina displays.

Indeed, MacRumors points out that Apple has built in support for HiDPI display modes in Lion. "These HiDPI modes allow developers to supply 2x-enlarged images to support double-high resolution displays," according to MacRumors. "Like the iPhone 4's Retina Display, this means that user interface elements will remain the same size, but everything will be twice the resolution and, therefore, twice as detailed."

Preview app in Lion will act as Word, Excel, PowerPoint viewer



Mac OS X's Preview app has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a PDF viewer. AppleInsider reports that in the latest build of Lion, Preview has received a UI overhaul and added some pretty cool new features.

For example, Preview will act as a Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint viewer. This is one of the smartest things Apple could have done. How many times have you sent a PowerPoint file to someone only to get an email back saying they didn't know how to open it (happens all the time with my friend's grandparents)?

Now when anyone running Mac OS X 10.7 Lion receives an Excel or PowerPoint file, the file will automatically open in Preview if they don't have Office or iWork installed. Of course, they won't be able to edit the Microsoft docs in Preview, but they will be able to view them just like they can view PDFs. Word docs can open in Preview as a viewable file too, but by default they will still open in TextEdit as an editable document.

Other additions to Preview include Full Screen mode; monochromatic, square toolbar buttons; a magnifier loupe tool (like the kind you find in Aperture); expanded PDF annotation tools (including filled text and speech and thought bubbles); and the ability to scan your signature in the Preview app so you can use it to digitally sign documents. I don't know about you, but I always look forward to OS X upgrades not so much for the big features, but for the continued refinements to the OS and its apps as a whole. Judging by the way Lion is shaping up, it won't disappoint.

10.7 Lion upgrades expected to come via Mac App Store



It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that the Mac App Store is likely to be the preferred method for installing and updating OS X 10.7 Lion. AppleInsider reports that the next version of Mac OS X is going to ship digitally via the MAS, with optical media available as a backup for users on slow connections.

This approach solves the thorny issue faced by MacBook Air owners of upgrading the OS, and also keeps with Apple's theme of moving away from physical media as its primary means of distribution and eventually eliminating optical drives on most of its machines.

Will this mean that Lion will forsake disc-based distribution completely? Not entirely. There's still plenty of people willing to hand Apple money for an disc-based OS upgrade, and the company wouldn't turn this revenue source down.

AI's source tells them that a disc will be available for those without broadband or who don't want to use the Mac App Store. I fully expect Apple also to offer USB drives with Lion on them for sale, just like the ones included with MacBook Airs with Snow Leopard on them. I'm surprised that they're not selling them now for Snow Leopard, actually.

What Apple will most likely do is charge a premium for buying physical media -- akin to what happens now with Aperture. Aperture through the Apple retail site is $199, but it's $79.99 on the Mac App Store. The price difference will probably be big enough that it will nudge a good many users toward buying Lion via the Mac App Store. I expect that by Mac OS X 10.8 in a couple of years, disc distribution of Mac OSes will disappear completely.

Rumor: Lion near to going live




Trusted sources tell TUAW that OS X 10.7 Lion has gone live for internal Apple testing as recently as last week. An internal testing release generally indicates that Lion is near to a real world debut.

This suggests the new OS might possibly ship as early as WWDC with an "available today" mention at the keynote -- or it might not. But Lion is looking to be one step closer to availability for Apple customers.



Lion is near !

Find My Mac kicks off with Lion



In the latest Developer Preview of Lion, Apple has activated the new Find My Mac feature. Like Find My iPhone, Find My Mac allows users to locate their Macs from any web browser or iOS device. As noted by 9to5 Mac, the Find My Mac setup is available through the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars setting in System Preferences. Simply click "Allow" and your Mac is ready to be tracked.

Once enabled you can use any web browser or iOS device to track your Mac. When found you can choose to play a sound or send a message, remote lock the Mac, or remote wipe the Mac. Remote locking and wiping will prevent you from locating the Mac again however. The Find My Mac feature will be free, all you need to use it will be Lion and a free iCloud membership. This feature is sure to be a bane to thieves and no doubt we'll be hearing stories about how Find My Mac thwarted more thieves in the future.
