Developers noted an interesting feature in progress within the Mac OS X Lion release, dubbing it the Crash or continue app, an writers exploit aid. It has the ability to continue an application poised to crash. When Lion encounters an app that raises an exception and fails to properly handle it (essentially, it's like throwing an object in the air and failing to catch it), it now offers the user the choice of either allowing the app to crash or a new option of continuing to allow the app to run. While results in the app running in an inconsistent state, it does allow the user at least an attempt at saving data in any open files before quitting the app are restarting it fresh. The error dialog below indicates how an app that suffers a internal error presents the option to the user, providing a look at what caused the problem. In closing I think, not only is a pretty damn good feature, but helpful toward consumers as well when looking for that right dependable tool on your itool (PC, phone, pad, or car stereo...wherever MAC wants to utilize it sounds just fine).
