Tech News: Microsoft, Apple and the Zombie Apocalypse

[A7Guitar]

My way of thinking is this: the os upgrade has to represent the money ill pay for it. Like windows 7 to windows 8 with minor changes for $300 for ultimate i wouldnt pay that. Its the cost of a new ps3 or 360. But snow leopard to lion and minor changes for $30...sure why not its less than the cost of a new video game. Just my 2 cents though.

[gearsiborg]

Stupid video

[PhilipDK5800]

WTF, Windows 8 explorer looks like MS Word! :S

[warrenlantz]

The only problem I've had with Lion on my mac is a rare occurrence with the wifi not working properly. Otherwise, great and no complaints for a free upgrade!

[Pinkishbass91]

Lion runs fine for me, just a bit slow to respond when waking up from sleep.

[drsarg]

I have had no problems with Lion and it is running very smooth for me. I'm happy with it.

[mrcoolximi]

i really don't have any problem with lion only takes a bit longer to start up

[moonmonkey119]

brilliant!!!

[kyokeun]

I will still buy Windows 8 if it's cheap as Lion.... Just Saying

[eamon132]

@kyokeun it won't be, it never is, sorry.Try to mackintosh, its awesome

[eamon132]

@kyokeun meant to say hackintosh, spell checker 

[MMOTotal]

To answer your question.

Lion is running perfect and have had no problems thus far

[MMOTotal]

Here we go again...

Apple change and streamline their version of "Explorer" so Microsoft try to do it aswell, but instead of making it streamline they make it even more complicated.

Windows 8 is basically what OSX Lion is, but i bet Microsoft charge $200 for it compared to the $30 OSX Lion

Apple puts IOS like menu's/style etc into OSX - MS puts Windows Phone UI in Windows 8.

Not liking it and will not be buying it, staying with Lion

[Willnom]

OS X Lion is raping my startup time when my iMac core2duo crashes and it opens all the applications I had previously open

[geekint0sh]

I haven't run into any problems with OS X Lion, thus far.

[N00bizme]

I'm not going to be upgrading (or most likely downgrading) to windows 8 soon.That phone-esque UI in the demo was bad enough,but ribbon on explorer?

[Raikkonus]

yes and lion is giving my keychain and system restore hell

[Seantube3]

it's running fine mostly of the time but sometimes , it's glitchy and I also have WiFi problems. With snow leopard I never got problems , goddamn ...

[Vanky20000]

OS X Lion is 'surviving' on mine 13' 2010 Macbook Air....

[phantomellen]

We will see if Windows 8 will be huge success. At least Windows 8 beta isn't out yet. Oh yea, even if Windows 8 isn't a huge success, it will still outsell crappy Mac OS X in couple of weeks i guess. Mac OS X finder just looks like similar to Windows Explorer in Windows 7 for me. Mission Control, eh... a other epic copy from Windows 7. I like Ribbon, at least i get my jobs down faster than you Mac user. At least users don't have to remember all the shortcuts.

[HumanMac]

i liked when dave was less serious and more laid back like a year ago... :(

[davidbuddy9]

I like windows explorer in vista and 7 even though they have the same UI but is much simpler than XP and Windows 8 but half of the people say that windows 8 is going to be called windows 2013 so is it going to be called windows 8 or windows 2013?

[whatittakes1000]

I think apple needs to move away from the mobile OS for the computers! Let computer be computers and mobile devices be...well mobile devices! Thats why people are saying that and ipad can NEVER become a full time computer but apple is trying to prove them rong! WHY!! Now with iOS 5 there trying to make mobile devices like computers! so heres apples plan make each thing like the other one so as to brig the gap between the two things!

[manbearpig3445]

Os X Lion is working perfectly on 13" Mid 2010 Mac Book Pro.



[Person432483920]

windows cycle seems to be1 different OS interface, then 3 same.

example windows 3.1 then 95-2000, then xp, then vista- 8

[WangoReads]

windows sucks :l

[OrangeChickenist]

The only problem that i have with lion is that sleep takes like a 1 minute to kick in!

[dunner2390]

Talk a little slower :P

Thomson Digiweb box sucks ha

[sinclairalex80]

Lions running fine for me

[TheOrigianlOne]

Funny Man Dave :)

[NitrosKB]

This new style you have acquired is really similar to the Phillip Defranco show.

[gaaraanime5]

@NitrosKB No, Phil DeFranco uses misleading thumbnails and titles. Dave is honest.

[avenuePad]

I must agree with Dave, here. I find that both OSX and Windows have become bland and passé. While I like the concept of where Windows is going with the Metro UI, I'm just not sure it's being implemented correctly. OSX on the other hand, while minimalistic, is boring and sometimes goes for form over function.

It's too bad Chrome OS isn't the black horse it could be.

[syltman]

linux it is

[luigi90900]

@syltman Ok Yoda.

[sccerstr09]

Windows 7 Windows Explorer is the same as OS X in my opinion. You can change how Explorer looks, and it's not difficult to figure out

[sccerstr09]

I love the ribbon UI

[4allnipples]

Eh... Hiding technical functions? Why do you want to do that. You see -- a PC is about work. You do serious work on a PC. I do agree about the ribbon stuff, cant stand that - but i hate the new windows versions that try to hide everything. If you want a pretty OS then download fedora os something like that. I also have macs - but i hate not being able to browse the whole filesystem. I actually coded my own file-navigator just to get full control! You dont get PC's at all it seems.

[tomitofazzio]

Lion has no bugs in my macbook air 2011 i5 and i think apple's target is to simplify things not to dumb them down

[bordmike]

very well and no

[TalesOfWar]

@TheScottAsher How is it "dumbed down"? You do realise that a command line prompt is "dumbed down" from the old hand made punch card mainframe systems right? And that adding a GUI is "dumbed down" from the command line. Why is making something easier "dumbed down"? Surely it means you get more done in less time? Being more productive is more important than being able to say "I know how to do this overly complex thing that confuses most people!". It's a tool, it should be simple to use.

[TheDaskrokodil]

I'm running osx lion on my 2.8 GHz Macbook Pro and it runs smooth. i like the new Launchpad, the mission control and FULL SCREEN SAFARI OMG :D

[dayofchaosfilms]

I don't have Lion yet; might wait a few more months :)

[thejojoshabadoo]

@dayofchaosfilms Careful, they have sharp teeth and claws and like to eat humans! RAWRRR *w*

[dayofchaosfilms]

@thejojoshabadoo *Roar

[KnucklesX318]

I like that apple is trying to streamline all of its products to run similarly; however, I have seen the overall performance of my computer grow slightly my glitchy since the lion update.

[cnhstv1]

i went back to snow leopard

[StephenFloydOfficial]

It's funny how Microsoft's "rubbish" is simply complete speculation based on a single image, while Apple's is from serious problems caused by their Operating System that is suppose to "just work". And that somehow means a stalemate between the two....

[TalesOfWar]

@StephenFloydOfficial It's Microsoft. They have a habit of making shitty UI's that are overly complex and try to make no compromises. It's the perfect example of "design by committee". Rather than having a single goal or aim, they try and make it appeal to everyone, and it ends up appealing to pretty much nobody. They should put a few of the most common elements on there, and hide the rest. If you need something else, you'll go look for them, if you don't, then they're not wasting space or time.

[TRUEorFAKE]

Getting the B/Screen of death, trouble with mounting USB Disks..

[LukeCowanMusic]

I didn't bother upgrading to Lion straight away because I knew there'd be these problems for the first few months.

[cairbre1977]

I am holding off on lion for the moment until all the hulabolou is over. Looks like I will be holding off on Windows 8 and sticking with Windows 7

[KonstantinDK]

More of British accent!

[conorucd]

@KonstantinDK what?

[KonstantinDK]

@conorucd

His British accent is cool

[conorucd]

@KonstantinDK he doesnt have a british accent, he has an irish accent

[TheTechChecker]

Whoa. 500 videos later and you just get 720p video!

[GofreMcNoodle]

Lion runs perfectly for me. There's a couple of features from snow leopard that I miss, but nothing too drastic.

[ThunderMnd]

Mac fanboy detected.

[xDet3rmin4tionx]

@ThunderMnd fucking cunt, if you had watched the whole video he slated Apple for about 2 minutes. Idiot.

[ThunderMnd]

@xDet3rmin4tionx Oh really? Go check the anothers 500 vids. I love dave's movies but i really hate the

"windows.. SUCKS" and "mac is AWESOME (to waste alot of money)" thingy in most of his vids. But he have alot of good point of view and awesome reviews. But ya Fanboy detected. I have a mac and a pc and i prefer mac for editing stuff ofc, there is no comparation. But i prefer buying a machine and install windows than spend alot more on a mac with the same specs to do the same thing.Good day

[xDet3rmin4tionx]

@ThunderMnd We agree to disagree as I do not believe this guy is an apple fan boy.

[twiztidsidfreak13]

I'll be sticking with Win7. I will NOT be PAYING for windows EVER! I don't have a Mac and if I did....I would use Snow, fuck lion! Yes Apple is trying to remake computers and computing...and i just don't care! My new "PC" laptop rocks and cost less than $500! It works and that is all i care about! Still love the videos game!

[stealthmintblue]

Great vid bud!! freakin hilarious!

Look 4ward to the next one.

[duminicad]

funny, funny!!

again, can you make the videos a bit longer?! I feel that I'm not getting enough dose (:

good job mate!!

[dragonmustard2]

I'm going to unsubscribe. Sorry Dave. 

[faizanjoyia]

i have no prombles with mac OS X 10.7

[1115bmb]

its running great for me

[wizardslies]

Lion has made run pretty much ok putting a side some minor glitches. But one thing I can't stand is the management of heavy programs, they've turned to be much more slower on my 2010 macbook air than they used to be running snow leopard

[bf2films]

only problem i have with lion is starting up my 13 inch macbook pro i cant click or touch anything on the computer for like 3 minutes after starting it up or it will lock up and need a restart. but my macbook pro is always on, just in sleep mode, so it doesn't effect me that much.

[chakracannon97]

I love it when I receive a YouTube email saying your video is up... When it even works.

[Keydo7]

Ironically, right before watching this video, I had some trouble getting Lion on connected to my wi-fi. All I had to do was turn airport off and on to fix it, but I still never had that issue with Snow Leopard. All the new features are worth that one time hiccup though. I still love Lion.

[Norway2011]

@Keydo7 yeah I've also noticed some new problems since Lion came out. Mac OS X isn't perfect and I don't pretend it is, but it's still my preference.

[Azzagard]

I hate when modems die :(

[spacekid407]

On my Mid 2007 iMac it's definitely slowed down my machine, but not by too much. I'm loving the new features, such as Mission control, Launchpad, the new little tweaks such as better spotlight and quicklook, fullscreen apps, and more trackpad gestures. Lion definitely has caused some apps to crash more often, so it's not as stable as Snow Leopard, but I'm confident Apple will eventually fix the clunkiness of Lion within 3-5 months of patches/updates.

[TalesOfWar]

@spacekid407 To be fair a lot of the issues are the 3rd party apps that just haven't been updated yet. Granted you always get issues with a new OS release, but so far it's been pretty solid (for me at least). Snow Leopard had a more troubled start than Lion has up to this point, but they turned that into a rock solid platform and the same will be done with Lion.

[djcondra]

Lion is purring for me very nicely. Windows 8 looks dumb. They'll never learn.

[kay9651]

i just got lion today. works great so far!

[theonlydoberman211]

I like the multiple desktops in lion but if i ever get problems i'll just go back to snow leopard with smackbook.

[puggy605]

i dont care about windows im going to switch to mac next year

[textilemill]

I never went to Lion. Snow Leopard rocks my socks!

[TheXeonShock]

Mac Mini for my desktop and My HP probook laptop for mobility and schooling. :)

[AussieVlogging]

I love FCP X, but I've upgraded from iMovie. But all the benefits on FCP X out weighs the problems..

[psychoclown420]

windows 8 looks ghetto, time for a facelift. TBH vista looks better than either 7 or 8 from what i've seen of 8 so far

[Reptiguy100]

OS X Lion is working great for me!!!

[Polymerabbit]

I just hate Mission control...

[ThatAccount100]

if people are having problems they must be doing something to their computer cause im running lion on a late 2008 white macbook and it runs very smooth

[mintpaul]

OS 10 Lion is Mint for me

[TheTechy1]

Lion works fine for me...

[HalWozHere]

i LOVE lion but on my imac it just had tooooo many UNSOLVABLE problems. awesome video

[HalWozHere]

lion problems.

dont restore windows doesnt listen even when turned off,

safari wont reset or clear history

wifi disconnects ruining local server

stuck at white grey apple screen . i had to reinstall through recovery on new 2011 macbook air

i went back to snow leopard on my imac late 2009 and the reinstall of lion on air is running perfectly just wished i had a good first experience.

also all errors were only on 10.7 (imac )not 10.7.1 (both on air but reinstall fixed)

[TalesOfWar]

@HalWozHere That seems odd. Sounds like a corrupt install. Shit happens. Good to hear it's working fine after a reinstall though.

[JonasHamill]

I like Lions UI over Snow Leopard.. so i think it looks better.. but other than that i prefer snow leopard. I'm constantly being disconnected from the net.. had kernel panic! twice, and it's just all round laggy... and it crashes almost as much a vista pc. Bare in mind this is on an iMac with 4GB of RAM and a 3.6GHz Processor.. This has been the biggest let down I've ever experienced from Apple :/

[TalesOfWar]

@JonasHamill It has little to do with your machine and more to do with what software is running on it. Make sure all your apps support Lion. You're set up will be different from pretty much everyone else's, so whatever is different to people with the same hardware who have no issues will more than likely be down to software. It sucks I know, stuff like this is common with a new OS release. It may be worth doing a clean install and starting over, less headaches in the long run lol.

[DSVRC]

the first time i use mission control it screws up but every time i use it afterwards, it works fine.

[luigi90900]

I dont have it. I did't upgrade because i knew that this would happen.

[minimalmodulation]

I like Lion bars...

[kenisinoregon]

I need more ram for lion :(

[kreamywhip]

still happy with snow leopard im not ready to dumb down to the post pc era just yet I have serious creative ambition which aint gonna be happening if im using a tablet serious computing power is still needed in this world.

[NitrosKB]

phillip defranco tech style?

[LordAdamW]

I have had a few of those black screens you speak of

[RSmith9512]

Lion is amazing

[hortonj63]

Lion will not be on my macbook pro 15. I will be having snow leopard

[states1996]

didn't even try lion

[MrVinney96]

OS X Lion is running perfectly fine on a 13' 2011 MacBook Air. No problems at all.

[iTitaniumProductions]

Lion is fine for me..

[aly369]

Well I've had a fairly stable experience accept boggy performance and consistant lockups. Also Ive had an issue when leaving imail open fore more then half an hour the whole system crawls untill the application is closed.

[XC0MB4TXEV0LV3D]

I can't run my emulators on Lion because it no longer supports Power Pc. It sucks!

[TalesOfWar]

@Technology102 It'll be big enough for smaller stuff or when you're not able to connect it to a bigger monitor, but doing design work, screen real estate is everything, the higher the resolution the better. I use mine with a Dell UltraSharp 24" 1920 x 1200 IPS display, it makes life so much easier than using the smaller laptop screen, even if the resolution is the same (which it is with a 17" MBP).

[Halconandino]

black screen of death after sleep I get that with my pc laptop alllllllll the time! Gah! it's frustrating, everything gets lost!

[pielover997]

haven't tried lion yet. but on the windows side, i do agree with you right now, windows 8 doesn't look like much good is coming out of it except for tablets, ribbon looks like it would be easy for tablets,but i am hoping microsoft makes some key changes to make this a newer and better version then windows 7

[KingBENN100]

its running fine for me

[Athos523]

I had one kernel panic with Lion. The only time I've had it slow down on me was the first time I installed it but that was because Spotlight was indexing. The first patch came out not too long ago, and I do believe it addresses the Wifi issues people have been having.

[TalesOfWar]

@Technology102 Yep. I use a 13" model and it's more than good enough for those. You'll want a bigger external screen though when you're not traveling around though, makes life so much easier. I'd say the same even with a 17" MacBook Pro lol.

[themacbookone]

Personally I love Final Cut Pro X as I always found the UI in Final Cut Pro of Express very intimidating.

[TalesOfWar]

I've not had any real issues with Lion so far (fingers crossed). The only mild annoyance is the windows don't always tile in Mission Control and instead show up side by side overlapping. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, it's inconsistent with when it shows up though. Apart from that, no problems. Not a fan of the new Address Book design though, not really a bug though.

[McPeanuts]

Lion has crashed so many times now that....... beachball of death.

[chessdude67]

Dave should do all the possible side effects at the end of drug commercials. :)

Love you, Bro!



[TheSjheywood]

Lion is sort of fine for me, but it is a little buggy occasionally.

[topcat5665]

I have sky broadband so my internet sucks and goes down constantly...

[victorteles95]

Ok, first you say that Microsoft is making explorer and the Windows UI even more complicated, and say that Mac OS Aqua is much simpler, then you say that by making the interfaces even simpler, Apple is "dumbing down the computing world"?

[Roflcopter4b]

It SHOULD be more complicated. I like having all of that information. Hiding it is ridiculous, I don't want an OS that feels like it was written for a moron.

[TalesOfWar]

@Roflcopter4b I like it when an OS is made to not make you feel like a moron too. It's hidden so for those who don't need it, it isn't there, and if you need it, you can access it. Face it, most people using computers aren't geeks, they're the mothers of geeks, their friends and family. My mother hasn't got a clue how to work a computer, she gets confused with the Sky box, yet put an iPad in front of her and she works it out in no time. This is the way the majority of people are like.

[Roflcopter4b]

@TalesOfWar It's not hard to change. You can learn. People can learn. Young people have to know this stuff. Computers should be made so that people learn how they work, not to hide how they work.

[TalesOfWar]

@Roflcopter4b Why? We're getting to a point where you don't need to. In the Apple world, we're even further along with that mindset. It's like the car world. Back in the day you needed to know how to fix the thing because they always broke down, or you'd end up taking it to the garage every other month, these days you rarely need anything more major than new brake pads and tyres, and to change the oil now and then. Anything more serious, take it to a mechanic. Computers are getting there too.

[Roflcopter4b]

@TalesOfWar I sincerely hope that day never comes. Computers are not simple, neither are cars. I promised myself I would never drive until I understand how they work. People who don't know how technology works should not be allowed to use it. Simple.

[eschofield1]

having some issues with wifi keeping disconnecting from my bt home hub but nevertheless i lone the cleaner ui and i am confident that apple will iron out these bumps

[SENAP01]

Hi Dave

Lion for me is a bit SLOW!

Slow on connecting to WIFI after sleep

Slow start up

Some grey screens

and Dave, please talk a bit slower it´s sometime hard to understand you

[tom3131Y]

Sweet :D

[Ashyton1]

I'm dumb so dumb down lol, anyway, the old final cut pro looked like movie maker from windows

[rand0m4productions]

I will upgrade to Windows 8 if they release it with a Apple price tag. Meaning $29.99. Otherwise I'll probly stick with Windows 7. Unless there are some really big under the hood changes.

And please, MS, please go 64 bit only. Begin pushing everyone to the 64 bit platform like Apple already has.

[phantomellen]

@rand0m4productions i can pretty much get a full version of Windows for $40 if you know where to look at it. You can always find some cheaper deals. And Microsoft is software company, they earn money by selling the software. Apple already get high profit margin by selling a Mac hardware, so they won't mind to sell you Lion for $30 bucks. If Apple just selling the OS, it will cost you over 100, look at the price of Leopard ($125). You can get Windows 7 Home Premium little over $100

[phantomellen]

@rand0m4productions Also Microsoft has to consider all old users and corporate users. There still far more 32-bit machines than you can think of. By going 32-bit only, it will hurt Microsoft. Microsoft need to release 32-bit version. If you want go 64-bit, no one stops you buying a 64-bit Windows. Apple in other hand, pretty much abandoned all PowerPC users and all early Macbook users. So who get the hurt when Apple decided to go 64-bit only?

[Westsound191]

I'll wait for my next desktop machine with Lion on it. I need to be sure all my Spectrasonics & FXPansion instruments have been upgraded & not requiring Rosetta...

[cakelover33]

@Technology102 no.

[macypctutoriales]

Lion is running fine no problems.

[1IrishAirsoft1]

i have imagine wimax its crap! i will be switching back to eircom when my contract is up :(

[SuperMytest]

Lion is running well on my 27" 2011 iMac, however many of the gestures are not available on the magic mouse, and at the moment I am not in the position to fork out £60 for a magic tracked.

I think simplification is good, but apple should avoid going too far. I think that they haven't yet, but when 'library' was taken away, they got seriously close. Thankfully a bit of code in terminal gets it back, but apple are standing on thin ice, getting dangerously close to the line.

[MrBarrbapapa]

I (L) MY NEW IPAD 2 :D

[imsocooleo1]

9th!

[iDiggMGL]

Have:

a late 2009 27" i7 iMac- Lion works great.

a mid 2010 15" dual-core i7 MacBook Pro- Lion works great.

a late 2010 11.6" C2D MacBook Air- Lion works great.

I think it was great idea to release both FCP's at the same time. FCPX will eventually get the features all the while benefiting from an enhanced UI. I'd stick with FCPX but I don't have a job revolving around video editing.

[Happydentsmile]

=> Lion is working just fine for me..although I've noticed a bit more battery drain..but overall...its decently ok..!!

[chessdude67]

I'm staying with Snow Leopard till Lion is running much better.

Dig the Orange shirt, Dave! Thumbs up my friend!
