Even if not, I can guarantee someone will have a simple command line figured out in a week or less to change it.
Which would be sad indeed if we're stuck with backwards scrolling unless we know the exact defaults command to enter.
I sure hope the guy who mucked around bothered to check System Preferences to see if there's something before just calling it quits. I know I'd hate backwards scrolling.
Did they add print selection yet?
I am not sure about the opposite scrolling like iOS. That should be interesting.
We already have Print Selection. Just highlight the text, right click, then from the popup choose Services, choose Print selection.
Appleinsider has pics here:

The G.U.I is there so people don't have to remember a billion arcane little faucets about the O.S so all basic functions should be plainly visible unless I bid them away. I don't see what's so great about full screen. Didn't we already have full screen? I worry that more security features mean more DRM which means less cultural history for our present and future.
As for resource management, perhaps I'm just paranoid but in my experience playing video games, computer allies always screw stuff up in asinine ways. I don't want the O.S. in complete control of my RAM. Imagine a permanent stupid spinning pinwheel/beach ball of death that not even a force shutdown could fix just because some buggy program keeps getting reloaded into the RAM upon boot.
It'd be kinda like, it'd be kinda like, well does anybody else remember extension conflicts? Imagine those, except without a Conflict Catcher/Extensions Manager/User Accessible Extensions Folder type system to manually diagnose and solve the problem with. Oh my god! You'd have to reinstall the entire O.S and try to figure it out from there! It'd be a nightmare!

I like the idea. It makes the paradigm one of physical manipulation of what is on the screen, as if it were a real object.
It would take a bit for me to get used to it, but I like it on the ipad and my ipod touch, so it would solidify how users interact with their systems in the Apple ecosystem.
Very interesting. This option is only enabled for trackpads that support multi-touch gestures. (The recent kind, 3+ fingers.)
I have two-finger scrolling on my 2007 white Macbook, and I don't have those options in my Trackpad preference pane, just the usual settings for clicking, tapping, etc.
So even though this preference applies to my machine, I don't get to toggle it.
Very cool mail and calendar changes. The new view in Finder looks interesting as well.
It works fine on a iPhone because you're touching the screen. It doesn't on a scroll wheel, because you're touching a scroll wheel.
Seriously, I have no problems going from and to my iPhone and inversing the scroll motion. Now try breaking 10 years of scroll wheel behavior on your mouse.
Anyway, would it hurt so much to throw the option in the mouse GUI that's already loaded with options to map buttons and change tracking/scroll speed ? So if you like the idea, check the option, if you don't, well don't. Everyone is happy vs only one group of people being happy.
Options are so nice.
Also configurable in System Preferences. It's pretty pointless since there are no more "opened" and "closed" apps.
I thought this function was only enabled when using the trackpad or other multitouch devices?
Maybe I've misunderstood. And I agree, it should definitely be an option that you can change.
Good, I was asking because the poster who brought it up in this thread said there wasn't one. But I was pretty sure Apple wasn't that dumb.
I hope that's also configurable. I like my apps to be closed when I hit Command-Q, not "still taking up some portion of swap space and get woken up by god knows what condition that results in them being open when they shouldn't".
You do realize this is a 17 page thread? If you are going to bother responding, how about answering the question? Or link back to your post that covered this. I have read the whole thread. Sorry for missing your post.
Did anyone answer the Trim question I had earlier.
Has anyone seen Trim SSD support in Lion.
Thanks!

Exactly!
I think Mission control is awesome, so wht if its a better version of expose & then spaces in its own ways
Also, resume is going to kick some arses
@someone who (hopefully for the heck of it!)was complaining about the folders like iOS
Its not the folders is he OS, its the iOS segment which will have iOS-ish folders
I'll miss the amazing blue scroll bars
I also think they need not be iOSish
As they don't have any server hardware to install the server version!
I guess that answers someone else's question about Apple changing the EULA
It is Steve, Its one of the ways NOT to go

Because I like being able to know what apps are and aren't running on my system at any given time? Because I like being able to control that?
But they aren't running. They're either suspended, or open.
For the very small number people who should care whether an App is suspended or not, you'll either be able to truly quit it via Activity Monitor, or perhaps we'll see some sort of pseudo-taskbar ala the iPhone, although I doubt it.
