Yeah, I will never understand the thinking behind this change. Probably because there was no such thing.

Apple really has to get on this. It's a glaring omission for any modern browser.

Hard drive speeds don't really have much to do with the smoothness of graphical transitions. Just saying.
A more relevant question might be whether he's using discrete or integrated graphics. If his MacBook supports both, it'll default to integrated graphics if the power cord isn't plugged in to save battery, at the cost graphics performance.
I just discovered this in Preview. If you press the tilde button while in Preview, a magnifying pane appears and you can move it around.
Plus in Lion's Preview you now can you your WEB Camera and take a picture of your written Signature and use it in a document. That is cool.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this but if you go to /System/Library/CoreServices and scroll down to the bottom.. there's an app called "Wi-Fi Diagnostic.app"
It's quite helpful

Does this replace or co-exist with Network Diagnostics? I always found it bizarre that they buried such a useful app so deep - I tend to put it in the Dock for other people's machines I want to be able to remotely troubleshoot.
Well with the Wi-Fi Diagnostics.app - you can capture raw packets/analyze them with like wireshark or something.
Plus, you can use the "-" or "+" buttons to zoom the glass in and out. or pinch to zoom it in or out. pretty cool
I'm back to Snow Leopard on both my desktop and portable Macs. I've occasionally been using Lion for various tasks on my Race To The Bottom machine, a mini with Lion and Windows 8.
I've got most of the really nasty, fixable things fixed via various apps and Terminal changes found on the Web. Lion is usable if I had to but still ugly compared to SL.
Since I've switched over to Office 2011 for Mac I don't have to worry about Pages/Numbers/Mail/iCal/Address Book any more. That made a huge difference. Mail is OK but the rest of the above mentioned Lion versions just plain reek of poor design and hideous looks.
I'm still hopping that Lion gets better and Apple shows some interest in supporting desktop computing. By Christmas we should know whether Lion is going to be as nice to use as SL and whether Microsoft has the brains to make Windows 8 a great desktop system, and a great tablet/laptop system. Somebody is going to win my business. I just hope it's by being much better than by being less worse.

Add in the pending iPhone announcement to that mix and you have a serious party on your hands as to which way to fall - I'm right there with ya.
One thing I totally hate
The Quick Look in Lion just decreased my productivity by 10 times. In SL, when viewing a pdf in Quick Look in full screen, it used to fit to width, i.e., the document used to fill the entire screen.
They axed this in Lion, and now half of my screen is black when Quick Look goes full screen. The only way by which I can read the document is when I open it in Preview.

Face it, Lion is lying!
I am beyond tired of the apologists for this half-baked attempt. It is too raw for release. Apple needs to bite the bullet, stop the excuses and fix or pull it. There is not a single computing aspect that escapes a negative impact by Lion. Nothing works as well as it used to. Safari is a train wreck, Mail is flaky, My system has crashed more since Lion than in all the 25 years I've used Apple computers combined. Decisions like dumping iWeb are symptomatic of a loss of focus and continuity unparalleled in Apple history.
A sign of a solid company is willingness to admit errors. step back and fix them then proceed. No one is going anywhere. Just fix the dam thing!

Anyone know how to make OS Lion automatically startup in safe mode?
Many thanks.
You mean other than just holding the shift key at startup? The support link shows a way to do it over SSH that might help you.
Is Lion stable enough?
I have not upgraded yet because I wanted to give Lion time to fix out the bugs. At this point we hit 10.7.2 so is it safe to assume all the annoying bugs got fixed? I tend to upgrade once we hit ##.#.2 updates.
Thx

am just hating how much apple controls how we use our macs.
seems to get worse all the time.
WHY did launchpad icons get huge? why isn't there a resize option?
why can't i add files to the sidebar? i could previous to 10.7.2
why can't we have some GUI options? i.e. login screen image, etc
(i've done these things anyway, i.e. a black menubar;
thankfully we have great freeware and shareware peeps out there).
apple wants us all to live in apple's world, and it's sad...

Yea, it's good. The only issue I found is that boot up and shut down times are a little slower than in SL (I have a 2010 MBP) but not by an outrageous margin. Besides that, nothing else is wrong or glitchy. My battery life is the same, if not better, Lion is smooth with no bugs (that I notice) and everything's been going smoothly.
