I am trying it now and it’s kinda cool and fast. I can now iMessage with my iPhone friend and FaceTime video under one app. Download the Messages app here to try out now.

I Am Using Mac OS X Lion – Apple released the latest update for the operating system of the Macintosh, the Mac OS X Lion few days ago. I didn’t download and buy on the first day but I downloaded it on the 2nd day. The price of the upgrade is US$29.90 which I think is pretty reasonable and it’s just available online as Apple is promoting a green environment.

The sad thing was it took me about 10 hours to finish downloading the file as you know, living in Malaysia, I have an Internet download speed of 150-200kbps which is slow when compare to other country.

Mission Control interface.

I think it’s a good upgrade as the new system always bring new features. I was from Leopard to Snow Leopard and now I am on Lion. They main feature of the Lion is the gesture that you can use with the multi-touch trackpad and also the Mission Control interface which shows all your app.

They also make it more user friendly and iOS like with the application Launchpad. These are some of the feature that I am proudly showing off, more to play and more to try. If you are on Snow Leopard, it’s time to upgrade to Lion and you will not regret on spending US$29.90.

The best part of all, it allow you to install up to 5 Macs with just a single purchase. I shared this copy with my brother. =)

I am liking my desktop wallpaper right now because I am not a Mac user faking to use a Mac OSX Tiger wallpaper. I’m here to share with you my very simple and clean Vista desktop.

I uses a dual monitor setup, a Dell 24″ connected via DVI and a Dell 17″ in vertical position connected via VGA cable to my old Nvidia 6800 graphic card. The second monitor serves like a widget monitor displaying some Yahoo! Widgets. I don’t use Windows Sidebar because I just don’t like it.

I did not turn on any icon because I access all my frequently use program via the small icon on startbar. It makes my desktop simple and clean.

I like dual monitor setup, I am not use to one screen right now, it’s like once you go dual, you can’t go back. I did not purposerly go and buy a second monitor, it’s actually an old monitor but now it serves as my secondary screen for productivity, extra desktop space and also widgets.
