Lion's Internet Recovery Feature: The Past Meets The Future
Although you won't find any Apple users who will admit it, Macs do occasionally crash and fail, sometimes in spectacular ways. In my experience, while they have far fewer visible errors, the ones that users end up seeing are more serious than the scattered Windows annoyances and driver issues. But by and large, recovery and error management haven't needed to be among Apple's marquee features.Graceful failure is a merit, but not something you want listed next to Mission Control and AirDrop.So it's no surprise that an interesting little feature built into Lion is receiving next to no promotion — though Apple is far from hiding it. The improved recovery console is a nice feature, but it's the Internet Recovery thing I'm more interested in.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/sHCf5ISWHwI/
