Anyone know what the 'WebProcess' process is? It keeps eating up CPU and RAM.
I finally grabbed it today and installed it tonight. Weird default scrolling, but I do like it so far.
so basically I can't really control spaces in lion? I can only "fullscreen" apps into their own space, and it's always to the right? Ugh. Many years of muscle memory is being abruptly messed with. Lame.
Am I wrong here?
There is a setting in Mission Control that automatically arranges your applications based on useage. Have you tried to uncheck that? Or are you more upset that it's not in a box, rather a straight line?
I know I'm bitching and moaning here, but why are they removing functionality like this?
Yea, I was used to a certain setup with certain apps in certain spaces - for many years. Also you can't just drag things around to new spaces. Now that the vertical component is gone, I feel like they removed some useful functionality.

Also has anyone done a clean install? If I do upgrade that was my plan. Not sure how that works with it being an app store download.

You can still assign specific apps to specific spaces (right-click/two finger click the icon in the Dock -> Options -> Assign To).
There are no benefits to performing a clean install. This isn't Windows. You don't need to flatten your drive every six months. Any benefits you derive from doing a clean install will be placebo, nothing more.
Can anyone comment on performane on a c2d 2.26 ghz with 2gb ram
Are you sure there isn't an option somewhere to allow this again? Spaces and Expose are the things I love most about my workflow in OS X, if they are mucking it up I may have to stay with SL.

Nope, they took all the customizability of spaces away.
I've been hitting Command-downarrow all day because I used to have my email in a space down there. Can't do that anymore. Only spaces to the right.
I guess I can eventually get used to things - It's just frustrating!!!!
-Launchpad. There is no point for it. I have a dock, and an applications folder. Everything I need instant access to is in my dock, or a stack. Everything else is in apps which I usually just access through spotlight.
-"Natural" Scrolling. There is nothing natural about this, unless you are someone who inverts your scroll by choice. I naturally scroll that way on my Tablet and iPhone, but on a laptop I want standard scrolling (thankfully this can be disabled).
For those saying they will pass I don't blame you.
You really hate when people dislike something Apple makes, don't you?Just don't use it. Launchpad has replaced my Applications stack. I got used to it pretty quickly. It needs to be more ambitious than just an iOS-like icon splash, but it's better than the sort of hack-y method of just putting a folder in the Dock.
Highly disagreed. You have no idea how many people I've seen describe scrolling up as "moving down the page" and vice-versa. This is a huge deal for people, especially those getting Macs as part of the iPhone halo effect. And since it's easily deactivated in System Preferences, I don't know why people would waste time complaining about it.

I agree Launch pad is a fucking gimmick and completely pointless...
I find it hilarious that OSX finally does folder merging (and not overwriting all your data) and Apple counts that as a feature. After years of being told that merging is not 'the right thing to do'.
To be fair, Mr. Siracusa's Ars review points out, and rightly so, how being the tech guy of the family, it will make things so much easier when I need to tell my parents how to access an application over the phone.
No it shouldn't be listed as a feature, but no one has ever said it's "not the right thing to do."
I don't see how it's any easier than clicking the application stack. Or clicking Spotlight and typing.
I will be the first one to say that then. I hated the overwrite so much, first time I ever found out about it I lost all of my pictures from high school (10 years ago).No it shouldn't be listed as a feature, but no one has ever said it's "not the right thing to do."

Plenty have defended OSX's default behavior, and even suggested that merging would confuse the user since it adds files to what you were copying.
I don't like where OSX is headed (or should we call it iOS). Mobile OS's are feature limited for a reason, they should not be the template for a desktop experience.
I dislike when people complain about things they can easily change or fix in the time it takes to write the complaint.

To be fair not everything can easily be changed or "fixed". As you've said, some things just take some getting used to, but that entails the person accepting a change they may dislike.
Also when I double click a video file in quicktime it will also open all the recent quicktime videos. So click one movie and pop a dozen windows at once. I haven't found how to disable that. Any ideas?
This occurs even though i've completely quit quicktime previously.
This is the Resume feature of Lion in action. You're closing the app without closing the individual video. Therefore, when you reopen Quicktime, it will automatically reload the videos you had open before, because you quit while they were still active.

Can this be disabled too ?
Talk about a nightmare for some.
