Before Lion, you could drag and drop to move a file, and you could copy and paste a file from one location to another — leaving two copies of the file.

If you didn’t get a chance to play Sid Meier’s Pirates! on another gaming platform before, now is your chance. And if you have, you know that it is probably worth it to get this iPad version too. This is a great game that combines lots of elements and fun gameplay. You get to live the life of a pirate and chart your own course — no following a strict storyline. The game is deep with lots of new things to discover as you go along. You really get to make your own decisions and your own story, so you can play it several times.

Apple released Mac OS X 10.7 “Lion” yesterday, the highly anticipated new OS with features like Mission Control, Versions, full-screen apps, AirDrop and new Mail features.
Lion is only available from the Mac App Store as a $29 download for those running the latest version of Snow Leopard. In August Apple will sell a $69 USB flash drive containing a Lion installer. Apple also updated Safari, iTunes and iWork this week for Lion compatibility. Those updates are available with Software Update or in the Mac App Store.
In addition, new MacBook Air models and new Mac mini models were introduced. Both of these lines now come with Thunderbolt ports for connecting peripherals. They both also received processor speed bumps.
