Pulled out your e-wallet and deposited $30 in Apple’s coffers for a digital copy of OS X Lion?

Bugs, and plenty of ’em—that’s the gist of a blog note by an Adobe senior product manager titled “Lion Tamers,” which links to a list of known Adobe product issues with Apple’s latest and greatest. Mac OS X 10.7 Lion just hit the airwaves Wednesday, and I mean literally—the only way to get a copy is by downloading it via Apple’s Mac …
How I Dislike Thee, OS X Lion, Let Me Count the Ways
So you’ve got Lion, or maybe you don’t, because you’re still downloading it. It’s over 4GB after all, and trying to grab it over the freebie Wi-Fi connection at the coffee shop down the street was, you know, maybe not your finest moment.
But let’s say you’ve managed to pull it down, somehow, and as Adele might say, you’re rolling in …
Apple Rolls Out OS X Lion, Faster MacBook Airs, Kills MacBook

With OS X Lion, Apple’s Macs Enter the iPad Era
Apple may be the most consistently inventive company in tech, but in its own way, it’s a remarkably single-minded outfit.

Each is the coolest, most elegant expression of Steve Jobs’ vision of the ideal computing device that Apple could …
OS X Lion Coming Tomorrow (Or, You Know, Someday)
Let’s be honest: no one has much of a clue when Apple’s planning to release OS X 10.7 Lion, Cupertino’s latest mammoth overhaul of the company’s Mac operating system. Sure, we know it’ll be sometime this month, which is what Apple’s been saying for weeks—unless the company changes its mind, which, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, it …
No Apple Mac OS X Lion Today After All?
Alas, it’s looking like Thursday as D-Day for Mac OS X Lion’s official digital-only rollout was a bad call by the Apple news gossip club.

OS X Lion is, …

Rumor: New MacBook Airs in July, iPhone 6 in 2012, 15m iPhone 5s in First Batch
I’m ready for my upgrade, by which I mean from a well-worn early 2010 13-inch MacBook Pro to a shiny new Thunderbolt-equipped 11.6-inch MacBook Air—if Apple does right by me spec-wise with its imminent MacBook Air refresh, anyway. The latest rumors (per DigiTimes) don’t tell us much about what to expect from Cupertino’s ultraportable …
