<Category: Apple, Mac, OS X> No comment

Now that you know how to burn your own copy of Lion to a DVD and create a bootable USB Drive, here’s a nifty trick to get Front Row back on you Mac. As you may or may not know, Lion no longer has Front Row as a feature. Front Row was that nifty little Media Player that would bring up a nice full screen interface, which would later be used on the Apple TV. If you were or are a user of Front Row, and now have upgraded to Lion, there is a way to get it back. You will however need access to a Mac running 10.6 to do this trick.

Codenamed “Lion“, it not only takes the OS to a whole new level but it really “roars like a lion” with blazing fast load times, much snappier performance and over 250 new features.
