I know it's only 99 cents but I'm glad I didn't buy FaceTime since it apparently came with Lion
Got a tip for us?

BetterTouchTool is working perfectly fine for me under Lion. I have the 2 finger Pinch-In and Pinch-Out gestures set to close and open new tabs respectively. You can also set a gesture to switch between tabs by setting the gesture's option to the keystroke (Control-Tab) that switches between tabs.
There's absolutely no reason to use Chrome over Safari on a mac.
Yes, you can even use the address bar for search if you install GlimmerBlocker (which you should anyway).
Wrong.
Personal Preference.
I enjoy a superior browsing experience, as well as almost daily automatic updates (including a built in Adobe Flash player which is updated along side with chrome).
With Safari, I have to wait the months it takes for Apple to update it, then deal with getting the latest and greatest Flash and Installing that Separate. No thanks.
Safari is using WebKit2 which is far beyond Chrome's forked WebKit 1 engine autoupdates or no.
And I've uninstalled Flash completely.
But please indulge this web developer to what makes Chrome a "superior browsing experience" on a Mac.
Here's a reason. Safari 5.1 (and iOS 5.0 safari), unlike previous versions, doesn't play nice with OWA (at least the version my firm uses). Chrome does.
before in SL, when using firefox, a three-finger swipe up and down would bring me to the end and the very top of the page in an instant. It was actually one of the things I used the most, and it now does not exist as far as I can tell. Does anyone know how to get this back?
I am not going to read thru 58 pages to see if this has been mentioned, but the iTunes screen saver is pretty sweet!
I used that too
But i miss the three finger swipe left and right for Forward and Back even more!
I've been using GM on a spare partition for a while now, but after upgrading my main disk from SL to Lion, I noticed Coverflow view no longer as a horiztonal scrobbler/scroll bar near the bottom of the icons to let you quickly navigate through them. Anybody else notice this, because I could have sworn it wasn't gone before...

What the... I literally have no single idea that comes to mind as to why it's randomly gone for me. I may have to do a clean install. If this somehow got messed up, God knows if something critical is screwy too...
EDIT: You need to have the option "Show scroll bars: Always" selected in the General pane of System Preferences. I *think* that in earlier builds, though, coverflows scrollbar showed up irrespective of this setting. Technically, it shouldn't be there if you don't have this option selected, so i guess they fixed it.
Enable/Disable
Having 10.6, for a while you could disable Spaces, (as a whole), and re-enable it later when needed without needing to mess round with "per application" basis (e.g. removing, reading to list etc)
Can you completely disable it with 10.7 and re-enable at will ?

The find option in safari is kinda spruced up, I like it. hit Command + f and a popup status bar will pop up under the tabs bar, and as you scroll through the variations of of whatever you typed in, the words are highlighted but also pop outward towards the user, to make the intential word more prominent. Nice.
CMIIW as I'm not a regular Safari user, but I believe it's been around for awhile
I can't get the swipe forward/back in chrome to work unless I use the swipe with two or three fingers" setting, but then it will a) only work with 3 fingers and b) change the "switch between fullscreen" to 4 fingers, which I do not want...
What am I doing wrong?
Also...Expose doesn't bring up all my windows anymore, just moves the open window into the middle, can I cycle windows in this view?
Thanks for any help...

I could never uninstall Flash. Infact the 64-Bit Flash 11 Beta is very nice
But I am Bias as I use Flash, Illisturator, and Dreamweaver to develop content almost daily.
Full screen apps
Don't know if its only Safari, but give this a try and tell me if you experience the same thing.
Have multiple desktops set up, and open Safari in one of them. make it full screen, then switch away.
You'll notice, when you switch back to the full screen app, the Finder menu bar is not reachable as it usually is, therefore u cannot exit Full Screen, only by Keyboard Escape.

I have a question about AirDrop. Its supposed to be able to find mac users over the interwebz, do you need to connect with that person over wifi, and then you can find them if their connected to the web?
