We've compiled a couple of more notes of interest on the Apple's upcoming Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
- Classic Mail: While Apple is pushing the new iPad-inspired Mac OS X Lion Mail application, we've learned that Apple also offers a "Classic Layout" checkbox in the Mail settings which reverts the interface back to the familiar Mail interface.
- Finder: AppleInsider posts this video which shows Lion in action (embedded above). It demonstrates new Finder features including:

Apple this year acquired Israeli startup Q.ai for close to $2 billion, according to the Financial Times. That would make this Apple's second-biggest acquisition ever, after it paid $3 billion for the popular headphone maker Beats in 2014.
