This seems to work well at first glance, and even transfers some discs that others don't seem to be able to cope with.
However the image quality leaves something to be desired at times with some blurring using the standard settings.
The whole programme has a feeling of 'un macness' about it and this shows through in some of the descriptions / instructions IE 'shut down PC when done' It also seems to lack direct support for second gen Apple TV.
On the whole not a bad programme but could do with being a bit more Mac-like.

Ok, the first new version of OSX we've had for a while if you don't count Snow Leopard which was kind of a clean up.
First impression, OMG they've turned my Mac Pro into a giant iPod Touch or iPhone. The whole look and feel of 10.7 is very iOS.
It would appear they have updated the graphics drivers (long awaited)
as my Quadra now seems to have much more colour range and depth of field.
Ive had a wireless trackpad for a while and have been quite happy with it this new release brings lots of new gestures some of which I'm sure ill use eventually but at the moment its quite a lot to take in. I seem to be changing screens when i want to go back a page but that could be due to the fact i use an Android phone and my fingers are doing what seems to come more naturally. The default set up seems to be the reverse of what I'm used to but it can be altered in the settings.
No major complaints but i have experienced a problem when waking from sleep, nothing to have a major tantrum about but it seems my computer dosent want to wake up and i have to give it a second gentle tap 'on the shoulder' to rouse it from its slumber.
Ive lost the use of one or two older programmes (starry night for one) as Lion no longer supports ANY PPC applications but I'm sure i can always manage to exert myself and hold down the Alt key and boot into an older OS if needs be.
It does seem to take an eternity to download and install, not the sort of thing you can do in 20 minutes, more like 2 - 3 hours with a half decent connection, which as i said seems like an eternity when you want to play with something shiny and new.
In the same way i thought 'Noooo what have they done' when they switched from OS9 to OS X, I'm sure ill get used to it.

Dont think of this as a 'Game' think of it more as a chat room with user defined graphics.
There are some reasonably well defined locations to explore such are the Eiffel tower but the graphics hardly zip along as everything is stored on the S/L servers even your own clothing, possibly why the developers call it a 'viewer'
In busy regions the lag can become horrendous and if the region has 50 occupants im sorry it just wont let you in.
If you have the time and patience its ok for a laugh but do expect some lag and random crashes.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. I no longer have to put up with a boring grey apple logo on startup.
Nicely done.

I've always been a 'space' game fan from Elite on the BBC B to Frontier and Terminus on the Mac but untill now there hasnt been a multi player version.
This IS it. Elite for the 21st century not just mindless NPC's to fight against but other real live people. Constantly being updated with new ships, missions and just well... tons of stuff.
3 main races to choose from but dozens of factions and guilds to get involved with. Be a pirate, trader, hero or whatever you feel its a totally free universe.
Free for first 8 hours too see if you like it then for $10 a month it cant be beaten.
Link seems a little slow better to d/l from the site at

Dont worry if this dosent download or work at the moment. EVE have taken the servers off line due to a DDoS attack.
Lulzsec strike again?
