I really wish there was a way to name spaces in Mission Control

More precisely, they switched all minis to the "mini server" case (server was introduced in late 2009 and did not have a DVD drive, replacing it with a second HDD instead)
It'll be interesting to see from the upcoming tear-downs if they all have the hardware/cabling to support two internal drives. The $799 one gets the nice graphics and an i7 option but no dual drive option--will someone be able to max it out with a second drive aftermarket?
The $799 one does have a dual drive option. You can upgrade to a 750GB 7200RPM drive, a 256GB SSD, or the SSD+7200RPM drive.

#164I'm not going to buy it unless I can buy a DVD with OS X Lion on it. Too much to transfer over a poor bandwidth mobile connection.
You'll be able to get a USB stick with it on from next month apparently though at $69 it's fairly steep.

#165I've been using the developer previews, including the GM, and OpenGL performance seems to be better. Haven't run any proper tests, but my 3D stuff does seem zippier in most cases. Still, I'll probably wait until XCode functions okay before overwriting my Snow Leopard install.

iTunes does activations. The Mac App Store does not. You log into the Mac App Store with your Apple ID, that has nothing to do with iTunes. It wouldn’t make any sense to allow you to only activate five Macs for the App Store, given the license. edit: Hey dude who downvoted, I made a factual claim. I have no problem with downvoting wrong factual claims but if you do you should at least clarify what is wrong.
I did not downvote you, but you're wrong all the same: MAS is a frontend to a sub-section of the iTunes Store. Similar to the iOS AppStore (which is a part of iTunes on computers, but a separate store on iPhones or iPads). In fact, if you have a tracing firewall you can see it send requests to itunes's servers. And as far as I know MAS does the exact same thing as iTunes: you can authorize an account on 5 machines at…
I most certainly wasn't trying to make any claims about the technical infrastructure. Sure, MAS and iTunes use the same, no question, I wasn't trying to deny that. But are there activations? That's the question. iTunes has all this UI for managing activations, the MAS has not. You can't activate computers, you can't deactivate computers. Then there's the different license. It wouldn't make any sense if you had a limited number of activations given the license.
I see no reason to believe why there should be activations in the MAS. Using the same infrastructure doesn't mean anything.

#168Does anyone know of a scanner software that supports 8ish year old scanners? (epson in particular) Since rosetta is not supported any longer, lots of scanners will not be working..
If you have to update, the newer scansnaps are fantastic for feed scanners. Worth every dollar of the 300-500 price tag.

#169I'll echo what I said on the Siracusa thread: Has everyone managed to overlook how patently awful and useless Mission Control is on multiple monitors? Whereas in the Spaces view in Snow Leopard I could move a window to a different space AND a different monitor with a quick drag, Mission Control doesn't allow this - I have to first move the window to the correct "Desktop", then exit MC and drag it to the correct monit…
I wish they would go the xmonad route, and simply treat each display as an independent "workspace container". Being able to switch independently (and still use the other display when using a fullscreen app) is a huge productivity gain.
This past week a co-worker introduced me to Moom... he said it was the closest he would ever get to xmonad on the Mac:

Only if ultra light weight and portability are primary concerns. A standard MacBook Pro is a better value otherwise, IMO.
After using my first MBP for a while, I'm kind of regretting getting the 15 inch. With the high-res screen, and as long as you have good eyes, the 13 seems just as functional and more portable. I love using my girlfriend's. My two cents, if Nemesis ends up going with a MBP.
I love my 13" MBP. It drives a large monitor when I need it to, and the rest of the time it's very portable and comfortable. I forget the screen is small, honestly.
