Mac OS X Leopard Archives - The Real Mac Genius

One in six Macs run the new Mac OS X Lion

On September 01, 2011, Net Applications stated that Mac OS X 10.7, Lion, accounts for 1% of all desktop operating. This is based on desktops that connect to the Internet. Mac OS X accounts for 6% of all desktop operating systems connected to the Internet within the last month. Mac OS X Lion was released on July 20th. Lion is very close to Leopard’s usage. Approximately 1.2% of all desktop operating systems being used on the internet are Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard. Mac OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard, is still the most commonly used Apple desktop operating system. 3.5% of all desktop operating systems being used are Mac OS X 10.6. Users are starting to migrate to Lion ever since its release. Based on all this information, 6% of all desktop operating systems are running Mac OS X. This means that Lion accounts of 1 out of 6 Macs.

As Lion gains popularity, more people will migrate from Snow Leopard and older Mac operating systems to Lion. I think that 1 out of 6 Macs running Lion is a big step forward, since it has only been one and a half months since its release. Do you think Lion is a good improvement for Mac OS X? Is it worth the $29.99 to you? Feel free to leave comments or suggestions and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Ever wished for a Time Capsule?

What is Time Capsule? Picture yourself in a situation where you are constantly worried that your computer will lose important files. You will constantly want to back up your computer to make sure you have your files. What if that can become a lot more convenient? That’s where the Time Capsule comes in handy. The Time Capsule provides constant, automatic protection. Time Capsule includes a wireless 1TB or 2TB hard drive designed to work with Time Machine on select Mac models that run Mac OS X Snow Leopard or Leopard. After your initial back up, of course wirelessly, the Time Capsule, in the background, will continue to automatically back up changed files. Even if you have multiple Mac computers, all of them can be backed up by the Time Capsule. Time Capsule is an AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11n technology. The Time Capsule acts as a wireless internet router and provides simultaneous dual-band operation. There is also a guest networking feature to provide guests with internet but keeps your devices secure. If you are a MobileMe member, you can access your Time Capsule wherever you have access to the internet. Mac OS X Tiger, Windows XP, and Windows Vista users can still use Time Capsule as a wireless hard drive.

Time Capsule is both a hard drive for backing up your computer and a wireless router. It is very convenient and useful. The compact size helps you save space. Automatic back up for your Mac is very suitable for those who need to constantly back up their computers but don’t want to take the time to back it up each and every time. What do you think?
