2011-07-20
what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here we are taking a look at yet another of Mac OS 10 Lions 250 plus new features in the last video we took a look at this game Mission Control its new fancy expose now we can take a look at this rocket chip right next to it called the launch pad let's go ahead and get started alright so we will launch launch pad will launch the launch pad go ahead and click it and you get something that looks just like I Oh s all your icons show up here in a what Apple calls a very quick and easy way to see them you've got all these little dots on here that show you a pager on and if you hold it down you're gonna see something very familiar as well they do that little jiggly dance which means you can move them around so you can say i want i move you there or no I movie belongs it's a final cut because they're both video programs they should be next to each other and their friends but if that's not enough for you you can also make folders so i can take this and i could drag this here and boom that look familiar to you i bet it does and it automatically titles it or you can change that title but I don't want image capture here so let's drag that back out I'm not going to make that into a folder it's automatically going to show you all the folders that you have set up so my utilities are here and it's going that jiggly dances awfully annoying all my utilities are here something called solver I'm not even sure what that is I'm gonna find out what solver is because I don't like not knowing what's on my computer make it see how your application sort of show up as you scroll use the arrows to scroll from screen screen feel my ton of Windows programs having parallels I don't really use that much anymore but I like to have it so you can see all this goodness it's pretty simple it's essentially like looking at the applications list in iOS I'm not entirely sure how much I would ever use this on a desktop but if it's your cup of tea then hey here's your steamin Earl Grey or maybe like orange and they've got a choice to have that too I doubt that I am ever going to use Launchpad are you guys going to use it I'd like to hear down below it seems unnecessary to me perhaps if I wasn't using a desktop maybe we had a lot top and I could just use some gestures to launch it and might be handy but otherwise I'm just gonna use this dog thing down here it's much easier so this is Launchpad once give you guys a quick tour and now i'm getting all rambling cuz i was up early i'm jon rettinger from technobuffalo and i'll see you there next video but
