Bugs & Fixes
Mac OS X Lion adds, deletes, and changes so many aspects of Mac OS X that some problems are inevitable. Actually, so many issues have already emerged that I can't begin to cover them all in one article.

So in the latest Bugs & Fixes column, I've focused on application compatibility: Which third-party applications have problems running in Mac OS X Lion? What should you do if and when you discover one of these conflicts? You can find more at Mac 911. - Ted Landau

Review: iCal 5 iCal, Apple?s built-in calendar application, sees some big changes in Lion. Many of the visual tweaks are borrowed from the Calendar iOS app on the iPad, with a focus on giving you making appointments easier to view, and in some cases giving you more room in which to view them. As a whole, iCal 5 is a worthy evolutionary step.
What's new in Lion: Mission Control and Launchpad Lion's new Mission Control is supposed to be "command central" for your apps, a melding of Expose and Spaces. Launchpad is supposed to be a simpler way to launch and manage those apps. Do they work? Dan Moren takes a look.

Repair Permissions & Lion

Howdy,

If you had repair permissions problems from JAVA it only happened on older of the Intel Mac Computers and Lion takes care of that.......

Now have Lion on three Mac Computers.....

The oldest of the batch did give me trouble, it seems because I did not have a password installed.... So I had to boot using my Snow Leopard Start-up disk and add a password..  Then all went well.....

An Obituary printed in the London Times

An Obituary printed in the London Times

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- and Maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense
lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense
lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense
lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense
took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense
finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense
was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers
;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.
