Lion Air

No, it's not a new airline. It's the new Lion OS.

Lots of subtle changes. Nothing earth-shattering and in-your-face at first glance.

Launchpad is a nice way to view your app list, but I don't quite get it's existence in the Dock.  That said, I would love to be able to have folders in my Dock, since on my main Macs, I have about 48 apps in the Dock.

Using multitouch gestures on the trackpad to swap between applications and workspaces is very awesome, though.

Can't play with AirDrop yet, as I don't have multiple Macs that I can put Lion on just yet.  I wonder if it's going to be a DropBox replacement.

More later.

Ruled by Secrecy

CONFIDENTIAL NEW BUSINESS PLAN Given the advancements in Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology, it is now possible to create the world's next great invention: The digital bumper sticker. See, OLEDs don't use a lot of voltage, can be almost paper-thin and are actually brighter than conventional LEDs using the same amount of power.

The advantages of this NGBS for the investor are so many as to boggle the mind, but I will outline a few for you: No more stale slogans. If your candidate lost, you can instantly update your Dennis Kucinich sticker to read "Don't Blame Me, I Voted Kucinich!" We think this will be a great revenue stream. After the l

How to write like a gossip columnist

Anyone can do it! Just keep in mind to never use your source's name, and always play up a celebrity's reaction to something using the following words: Blast Slam Fuming Here's an example: "Latigo Flint blasted reports that his guns do not actually fire live ammunition." Use them in combination!: "Gil slammed fellow carnie Sal's insinuation that he got a bit too personal with a badger. "It was cold and he wasn't even there!" the one-eyed Whack 'em Cats operator fumed." That's right, kiddies. Anyone can write a gossip column. And with the internet, anyone can publish it, too! p.s. Don't forget to put a salacious slant on everything. And blow things out of proportion, too. In fact, you may want to change your middle name to that.
