Google has launched its competitor to Facebook and with it a new iOS app, Google+. If you are using Google’s new social network, you can use the app to view your circles, upload pictures, and so on.

Apple’s launch of Lion was a success, even if everyone isn’t completely happy with it. The online distribution allowed for more than a million downloads in the first day, and millions more since. Many have been surprised at the speed of the download, while others have needed to stop by an Apple Store or borrow a faster connection.
Professional reviews of the new OS have been positive, as well as many user reviews. Some users complain of issues with the new OS, particularly when it comes to software that is no longer supported. Lion doesn’t include Rosetta, which was used by Snow Leopard and Leopard to run older PowerPC applications. Others have been caught off-guard by having an older copy of Flash that then didn’t work in Lion. The most recent version of Flash does work, but isn’t fully supported. A new version should be coming soon according to Adobe.
Lion is available now in the Mac App Store for those running Snow Leopard. Apple will be releasing a USB disk version of the OS installer next month that should allow for installation without a download and on Macs running Leopard as well.
