Apple Mail, Lion, and FastScripts

In this video I give a quick overview of Apple mail in OSX Lion and some of the issues with the newly implemented archive button. I then demo how to use an application called Fast Scripts and a few short Apple scripts to really take control of Apple mail.

Ducks, Adobe, and Microsoft

Pat Fox via Office for Mac Blog

Finally, the most common question – yes, we are working hard with Apple to enable versioning, auto save, and full-screen for Office for Mac 2011. I know your next question will be “when?”, and unfortunately I can’t answer that – but it’s likely measured in months not days – just to set expectations.

This is a good sign for the longevity of Office on the Mac. After playing with the iWork suite, Text edit, and other lionized applications that support auto save and versions for only a week I can tell that these features will be a requirement for me to use the app. Auto save changes how I work on my mac so much that an app that doesn't support it is more of a hassle than it is worth. I own Office for Mac 2011 and while it is rarely used, when I do it is invaluable. Hopefully other big software vendors (Adobe) will get their ducks in a row and fully support Lion because I am positive that the cheaper indie developed alternatives will.
