Gripe: Has anyone else noticed that there is no more swipe left or right to go backwards and forwards on webpages? I used that feature all the time...
I think by defaut it is now 2 finger swipe instead of 3
Fair enough.
Apologies for the stupid question, but what benefit does push notifications bring
I thought the idea for them on iOS was because apps didnt actually run in the background so this filled the gap
as apps on OS X run in the background they can provide notifications like they always have
confused
I agree with you actually. What will exactly be the difference between push notifications and what we already have?
Surely that is an OS X push notification? Or is it something a bit more Growl-like?
Does anyone know if Lion now boots the 64 bit kernel by default?
My MBP 5,1 is capable of booting the 64 bit kernel in SL (holding down 6 and 4 during boot) but boots the 32 bit kernel by default.
Has Lion changed this by any chance?
I'd like to know this as well.

I'm using the magic mouse, and if I swipe left with 1 finger it goes "back"
If I swipe left with 2 fingers it goes to my desktop, and then again goes to dashboard.
Are you guys talking about using trackpads then?
That isn't a push notification, that is just an application giving a message that would appear offline or online.
Push Notifications come from Apple's servers, and an example would be the badge count on the App Store increasing automatically when there's updates available.
I'm not really sure why we need push notifications on the Mac - things like widgets in dashboard work fine, along with Mail coming an unread message count and IM programs doing their thing.
Push notifications on iOS are really just to combat multitasking and battery. Something that isn't really an issue with a laptop or desktop.
I think it is bogus that I can scroll with two fingers, scroll left and right with two fingers, but yet, I can not go back or forward with two fingers.
I have the black macbook and I think it is stupid they don't allow me to change the inverted style back to normal. yes Ill get used to it but still..

Not sure if it was mentioned but 1 finger double tapping the magic mouse zooms into reader mode similar to iOS on a webpage and back/forward page is now a 1 finger left or right swipe. Going between the desktop and dashboard is now the 2 finger left to right swipe and a 2 Finger double tap takes you into Mission Control.

You can change the scrolling back to normal in preferences under trackpad. You can also change it so you can go back and forth in finder or google chrome for example. Also in trackpad > more gestures and change Swipe between pages to "Swipe with two or three fingers"
Push notifications will allow for automatic updating across iOS devices and (now) your Macs.
Are Quick Look plugins now working again in 10.7? I missed being able to preview inside of zips and folder when Snow Leopard broke it. Now it seems that I can see inside of zip files again.
Has anybody figured out a way to run two fullscreen programs? Its a huge waste of space when I have two screens but can only use one of them in full screen.
Has anyone found a solution regarding being able to use multitouch gestures in Safari (or any web browser) that'll allow for opening and closing tabs, including switching between them?
I do enjoy the 2 finger swipe to return to previous safari pages, but I'd truly consider Safari a powerhouse if I was able to open and close tabs and switch between them all on the trackpad and not having to hit command+t or command+w...
I heard Multi-Clutch is proving errors for many people w/ Lion, as i'd imagine BetterTouchTool would be doing the same.

Is there a way to configure auto save in Pages so that it saves versions of the document at a set interval? I'm currently working on a document, and Versions only shows 3 different copies of the document, each of them have been from when i have pressed CMD + S just out of habit.
TLDR Is there a way to set Auto Save to save a version every 5/10 minutes in Pages?

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet (57 pages!) but in iChat my AIM and Facebook buddy lists are now condensed into one (which is awesome).
I also noticed that when I used to put my iMac to sleep using the back power button it used to take a few seconds (up to 15-20) to shut the screen off, now it's instant every time (it would seem).

Press CMD and just pull it out of there. If you want to put it back, go into preferences < users&group < login options < show fast user switching
