Yeah it's faster on a regular hard drive too. It's an improvement in how the drivers load during boot up.
I don't think the new login screen is smart, everyone's going to see the glaring defects of the imac screen this way...
How come I don't get the icon to appear in my login screen, but only the place for name and password?
More like they optimized the boot sequence and nothing to do with TRIM.
Remember that TRIM does not speed up your SSDs, it helps retain the performance of an SSD.
Curious to see what this new boot --> login --> desktop process looks like (from the pressing of the button) on the newer MacBook Airs. Has anybody tried this setup yet?
Here's a video I just took of the latest build of Lion running on my MacBook with an SSD.

How to set backgrounds in relation to location?
How exactly is this done? I've been through this thread an repeated all of the features I felt were exciting and had not heard of but this one I cannot, video? Has this feature been removed or toned down as a consequence of the privacy data issue with Apple recently? Or was it just an example of what could be done with it, I see its switched off by default.
Thanks.

Little things I noticed
There are now a lot of undo's available now, not just one step back, not sure how many though? It could be limited to time of use or file size?
I noticed that when looking at several images by moving the arrow keys, and that those images are of varying sizes, that the QuickLook window will resize to fit the image accordingly so now nothing is stretched and over-pixelated, but in proportion. Good move Apple. However the white border is not such a good idea.

cannot reproduce blurring
Using the third and most recent build (11a459e) I do not see anything like this, I have scroll bars turned off (to hide them when not in use):

No, in build 11a459e the Guest login is up there with the others along the horizontal plane. It has the blank Safari 404 embossed look to it, but its not hidden down at the bottom.
You see it if the scroll shaft overlays content and the scroll is in use. Only does it in applications that hasn't been written specifically for Lion though. I first noticed it in transmission.
Another question.
In leopard and snow leopard, if you have an external HD that spins down after some time, like the WD mybook drives, if you then access the finder (not even clicking on that particular drive), the finder slows down until the HD has spinned up.
Has this been fixed? Apple really should use a local cache. It's not so bad in the finder, but it also happens to some programs due to the recently opened item list, or when you click on file > open in a program (again without selecting that disk).
Most annoying thing about the mac.

I agree. Annoys the heck out of me! I haven't noticed a fix in Lion though
Thought I was the only with this problem… it's more annoying in other programs to me, especially when you skim through options in the program/options bar (can't remember it's name
) and suddenly the program freezes because the drive has to spin up.
Can anyone recommend an external drive or brand that doesn't spin down ever? It's very annoying with WD drives. I like them but I can't stand the spin up. I use mine with Time Machine, so it needs to spin up at least once an hour, not to mention that I use it for random things, so it keeps spinning up and down non stop. It would be simpler if it never went to sleep...
..and Wi-Gig, Wi-Max....
I see that "AirPort" has changed to "Wi-Fi now, I understand this change. However, why not use "AirPort" is one has such a thing, similarly "Wi-Max" or "Wi-Gig" are names people will become familiar with.

I'll third that, it need to go back to being a dark colour (burn) and to have a thicker border so as to single it out as the object of attention.
The emoji has changed in DP3. It now uses different unicode characters and are not compatible with the iOS emoji. WTH is the point of that?
Also there's a lot more of them now. Some use the colour images, some proper font symbols.
Here are some interesting ones:
