With Lion’s digital-only release, someone apparently forgot to send Steve Jobs the security memo about single-points-of-failure being a definitively bad thing. Well no longer: Apple just released something called a “Lion Recovery Disk Assistant” utility that’ll let you do…okay, frankly what you already could, but if you’d rather not futz with prizing open folders, copying [...]
