Download Lion Recovery Disk Assistant To Fix Your Mac And Your Life
About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant (From Apple.com Support)
Built right into OS X Lion, Lion Recovery lets you repair disks or reinstall OS X Lion without the need for a physical disc.
The Lion Recovery Disk Assistant lets you create Lion Recovery on an external drive that has all of the same capabilities as the built-in Lion Recovery: reinstall Lion, repair the disk using Disk Utility, restore from a Time Machine backup, or browse the web with Safari.
Note: In order to create an external Lion Recovery using the Lion Recovery Assistant, the Mac must have an existing Recovery HD.
To create an external Lion Recovery, download the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant application. Insert an external drive, launch the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant, select the drive where you would like to install, and follow the on screen instructions.
When the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant completes, the new partition will not be visible in the Finder or Disk Utility. To access Lion Recovery, reboot the computer while holding the Option key. Select Recovery HD from the Startup Manager.
For detailed information on this update, please visit: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant.
Note: If you need to fix your job; your problems with wife and kids; or anything with your life, watch this video: http://youtu.be/k4V3Mo61fJM

For The Love Of It?
Why do we need to buy software, or make upgrades, surf the web, edit photos, share on Twitter, or video chat with friends, buy this and that, in short: "Why do we need computers?" If it's not selling so why bother?
I've been asking this myself when I look at my experience for more than ten years of computing. Finishing only an IT degree, I never really had the chance to earn real money. I've been out of work for the past four years, and just do some Open Source, voluntary work like blogging, so I don't really earn much. But, why do I still cling into something that does not pay?
My websites have over 10,000 page views, and feel happy about it even if it's not converting into cash, for the sake that I already helped a lot of people. It didn't change the world, but it made it better in a small way.
Now, from my meager savings, I still made the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion for just $29.99. Why? Because for the love of it? It gives me or motivates me to work more, and share more that is why I did it. Not for money, not for glory, but for the love of it.

How To Try Earning Money Using A Mac
Ok, I told you I am not a rich man, and it's very challenging to earn money on-line or in computers. Quite let you down, and I'm sorry to discourage you. But, there were things I tried doing that might have worked that I stopped doing. One thing is the Mac App Store.
The Mac App Store is like the App Store but for computers. And, to be honest, some apps like the Twitter app for macs is so much better than using just a web browser. It's like using a mobile phone but on a desktop computer. So, in short, you may want to try create and publish apps for the mac. All you need is time, patience to learn Objective-C, Xcode for creating apps, and $99 per year to publish to the Mac App Store.
Xcode is free since you already have a Mac. Then, learn the language used in creating apps such as Objective-C by buying a book, ebook or on-line websites. About the $99, you figure it out.

There Is No Money In Computers
I’ve been unemployed for more than three years, and resorted to selling ebooks, software that I developed, digital photos, digital artworks, adsense, etc., on-line. After living years on my own, working in my small room, I must admit that there is no money selling on-line using a computer. The truth is, computers will only make you spend more than earn money. Today, you will see tablets, iphones, androids, anywhere in Youtube, CNET, ZDNet, and other tech websites, but you all see them selling to you and not buying from you. You are not benefitting from these so much technology. I bet that once you buy a tablet, you will spend money, and the money you invested does not give you anything in return except money being spent.
