Data detectors are in Snow Leopard, but the tracking number detection is new.

If it's anything like the current detection in iOS, it's worthless to users outside the US. Getting deliveries from Amazon here in Germany inevitably involves DHL, and the only thing I've ever got out of tapping on a DHL shipment number in a mail on my iPhone is a Not Found page on FedEx's US site.

I would say that for this feature to be useful, there needs to be an option in Settings to choose a default shipment tracking company.

Most of my deliveries here in Ireland are done by UPS and the data detectors are hugely useful. I'm not sure if I've used the feature with DHL packages but I don't remember ever being sent to a US site.

Wake up from LAN.

Did a quick search but could not find anything so apologies if already mentioned. But just noticed that when my iMac is waken from sleep by my apple tv or iPad, the iMac screen remains off, which is great as on SL it would turn the display on every time.

Any one else notice this?

Can anyone tell me, a finder opened in icon view, if you resize the finder or the icon size, will the icons take up the extra space (reposition themselves?)

Yeah. I remember reading somewhere on apples website about that. It's the same for any remote network access aparently.

"Suck" Minimize

To anybody running the latest preview build of OSX Lion

Is the hidden 'suck' effect still available when minimizing applications?

in snow leopard the icons don't get rearranged. they simply scales up, and scrollbars appears.

I'm going to have to say Snow Leopard and maybe even as far back as Tiger behaved this way. As said, having auto-arrange re-positions the icons according to the grid layout.
