How to make your own bootable OS X 10.10 Yosemite USB install drive

I'm really liking it. Took a few hours to get used to, but I like Apple's take on "flat design" much more than Microsoft's. The only annoyance visually are apps and icons that clash in appearance because they were designed for the old style.

Also the three red yellow green dots FINALLY do what they're supposed to do. Can't believe it's taken them over a decade to get it right.

don't do it on a work computer unless you understand how to fix dns issues. I lost a better part of the day trying to figure out why I couldn't access internal servers.

So general consensus is this is faster and pretty good?
Can you finally duplicate, delete or move files in application file browse windows? Please say yes - this is one thing that needs to happen like Windows.- You could always do that.monospaced

Review from the App Store:
After weeping uncontrollably in front of my fresh yet somehow familiar Macintosh computer, my daughter entered the room with her Barbies and inquired of me the explanation for this unmitigated display of emotion. I turned to her, shaking, tears streaming from my eyes; I could barely see her through the watery haze. I reached out for her, hardly able to utter coherent words; short gasps for air were the only noise emanating from my oral orifice as I pulled my daughter in close for a tight, loving embrace. Finally, at long last, the greatest Macintosh update ever conceived by mankind had been created, and it was released to the public absolutely free. My mind raced with bewilderment as I wondered how on earth the magnanimous Apple could pay their dear employees for their groundbreaking work on this magnificent update, if it was entirely free. Where was the catch? Surely this gift was too lofty for me to claim; I knew I did not deserve this beautiful blessing, yet the god-like masters of love and generosity at Apple had deemed it right to bequeath this gift unto me. Holding my daughter close, I peered up at my ceiling, staring past it into the sky, a vision of angels bearing the Apple emblem gathering before me. Through a burst of snot and tears, I cried with all of my internal being: “YOSEMITE ELEVATES THE EXPERIENCE OF USING A MAC, WHILE MAINTAINING THE POWER AND SIPMLICITY I KNOW AND LOVE.”
I'm downloading it now.

"Can you finally duplicate, delete or move files in application file browse windows? Please say yes - this is one thing that needs to happen like Windows."
It won't happen and it shouldn't, because it would conflict with OSX Finder behaviour. In Windows, when moving a folder in application file browse window, you copy or move it. In OSX, it moves you to the folder, I find it much more useful.
Try that: open a file browse window from an app, then move a folder from a regular Finder window into it — voilla, you're now browsing that folder. In Windows, you would have moved it.
- Duplicate/delete could be fine (as recently introduced name editing is), but move/copy won't make sense.raf
- people who are used to an OS tend to hate on the other OS.inteliboy
- Yes yes yes. I LOVE the OS X "drag to navigate to" feature. Use it all the time. Most people don't know about it.nb
- But, they could offer a right-click menu that allows for deleting.nb
- sorry - I have used macs my whole working life (and some windows). duplicating a file, deleting a file or moving files within file browse windows makesfadein11
- makes perfect sense and works great on Windows. it saves an extra process in workflow. I think you are getting confused with something elsefadein11
- something else here.fadein11
- makes suggestion of improvement and I get called a hater - fucking fanboi knobends. fuck off.fadein11
- after rereading you have totally misunderstood and make perfect sense - doesn't conflict with any behaviour.fadein11

FYI Safari sends every search query you make to Apple servers
- Please tell me this is just because Yosemite is still in beta.Crack_Junkie
- Yosemite is not on betaernexbcn
- HN discussion https://news.ycombin…ernexbcn
- FYI google sends all your searches through google servers. Boom. Mind blown.monospaced
- < so great apply now as bad as google for datamining - and you make it sound like a positive lolfadein11
- mono well of course, Google is a search engine, Apple is not. Why send your queries to Apple and DuckDuckGo?ernexbcn
- it should go only to DuckDuckGo, OR Google, OR Bing only, according to your preferred search engineernexbcn
- Apple has been in the search game for years. Don't kid yourself my friend.monospaced

"This is inaccurate alarmism. It shouldn't be surprising that the search bar makes autocomplete requests to Apple as you type. The address, phone number, and map link that popped up when you typed in the name of a local business, for example, didn't just appear out of thin air.
However, it seemed suspicious to me that Apple would make it impossible, as the author claims, to type in the Safari address bar without sending queries to Apple. So, I fired up Charles proxy to confirm my suspicions.When using Safari default settings, typing in the address bar resulted in a few requests to Apple and Google autocomplete APIs. Then, I turned off "Include search engine suggestions" and "Include Spotlight Suggestions" in Safari search preferences. (Safari -> Preferences -> Search)
As I initially believed, no requests were sent whatsoever when typing in the address bar after those settings were disabled. Can we put out our pitchforks yet, or am I missing something?"

Anyone using CS5 w/ Yosemite? Any problems?

I'm really glad the clicking the maximize button now actually maximizes in a way similar to that of Windows, but it sucks that on a dual-screen setup, once you maximize say Chrome for example, you can't drag a finder window or anything else over to that screen. So they have effectively removed the little arrows that can be seen in the top right of this image:
and they have passed that functionality over to the green maximize button. Why?!?!?!?
