We all know what you’re thinking: Mac OS X Lion (10.7) was out for nearly per week , so why have we yet to listen to anything about Snow Lion? Patience friends, Apple will roar soon enough — but for now, 10.7.2 must do. Apple released the beta update to developers over the weekend, eschewing any acknowledgment of 10.7.1, or correcting any of the bugs which have popped up over the past week. Instead, Lion’s pending second update (build 11C26) is needed for testing the operating system with iCloud — a feature notably absent within the public version of the OS released last week. The recent System Preferences iCloud module enables granular management of select features, letting you elect which accounts and services to sync. Full iCloud support is coming inside the fall with the discharge of iOS 5 , so it’s probably safe to imagine that Apple plans to patch a number of those bugs meanwhile — any day now, we are hoping.
