Apple release of Mac OS X Lion as having more than 200 new features

Mac OS X Lion

Mac OS X Lion's well-known All My Files smart folder gives a bird's-eye view of everything on your Mac with files separated by type -- images, PDFs, text-based documents, spreadsheets and so forth. Each type of file displays preview icons of various files that you can scroll through, much as you would using cover flow view in the Finder or iTunes.

This file grouping option is the default for All My Files, but you can use it for any folder you're looking at in icon view (but not in list, column or cover flow views).

Grouping files by type is useful, but the Finder's new Arrange menu in the Finder window toolbar also lets you group files and subfolders by several different criteria, including by the application that created each file (or that is associated with the file if that application isn't installed on your Mac); by the date they were last opened, added, modified or created; by the file sizes; and by the Finder label assigned to them.

Some Special features of  Apple Mac OS X Lion

Like the iPod touch and Wi-Fi-only iPads, Mac OS X Lion can use known Wi-Fi networks to determine the approximate geographical location of your Mac. This information can be requested by websites and other applications, as well as used with iCloud's Find My Mac feature. The new Privacy tab in the Security & Privacy pane in System Preferences lets you choose whether your Mac can determine your location and, if so, which apps are allowed to use your location information.

The Privacy tab also lets you control whether or not your Mac can send diagnostic details (such as from application or system crashes) to Apple Mac OS X Lion for analysis.

The Pros and Cons of the Different Ways to Buy an iPhone 4S

Infinity Blade to leverage iPhone 4S tech

Fans of top iOS game Infinity Blade should set calendar app reminders for December 1, as that's when Infinity Blade 2 arrives on the App Store.

New fighting styles, enemies and bosses are joined by a Clash Mob mode that Epic Games says will be a "massively social" challenge with rare weapons and items dished out as rewards.

The game was announced as part of Apple's October 4 press conferences, at which iOS 5 and the iPhone 4S were announced.

It will use iOS 5's iCloud to transfer game progress between devices, and Epic VP Mark Rein stated that the title would be at its best on the iPhone 4S -- though presence on other iPhone variants was not ruled out.

Infinity Blade brought in more than $11 million for Epic in the eight months since a December 2010 debut, easily recouping the $2m development cost.

Despite a relatively high price on the store ($5.99 outside of sale promotions) up to half of Infinity Blade's profits are thought to come from in-app purchases made by players eager to boost their abilities.

Since its release, others have made attempts to outdo its graphical accomplishments, among them Rage HD, Shadowgun and the recently announced Bladeslinger.
