Google Chrome team working on multi-touch gestures

Google has released a new developer build of Chrome that fixes some of the browser navigation gestures that were disrupted with the release of Lion. On pre-Lion systems, a three-finger swipe inside of Chrome would move the user a page forwards or backwards in their web browsing history. Under Lion however, that same three-finger swipe is a system-wide gesture that moves users between different full-screen apps.

The newest developer build of Chrome for Mac, version 14.0.835.0, fixes the gesture confusion. Now in Chrome users will use a two-finger swipe to move a page forwards or backwards in their web browsing history. This adheres to Lions built-in gestures, leaving the three-finger swipe for full-screen app switching. No word yet on an exact release date for this next version of Chrome, but Cnet thinks it will be at least a few weeks until it's rolled out to all users.

10.7: Select Spaces in Mission Control

Here's how to select a Space in Mission Control without leaving Mission Control.

Holding Option while clicking on a Desktop or a Full Screen application will bring that Desktop/Application into focus, but keep you in Mission Control.

This is handy to move apps around Spaces without bouncing in and out of Mission Control.

[crarko adds: I'm starting to really like Mission Control.]

That makes the two Glendale store the closes Apple stores in the chain, according to ifoAppleStore. Apple's first Glendale store was the second Apple retail store to open and visitors say that it's so packed it's hard to get shopping done, which is probably the reason Apple opened another store so close.
