My google fu is very weak. I have searched all over for information on how to manage this: Outlook 2011 1. Is it posible to sync the calendar function to my phone via my ical/native calendar- this is where I store most of my information 2. Is it possible to sync the calendar to my google calendar? I like having everything in one native program but it seems like having Mail and Calendar do there own thing is the best I can hope for. I wish apple would integrate their productivity suites.

I can't believe how loving retarded multi-display support is in OS X. Want to run your browser in full screen on your Air, with your text editor full screen on a Thunderbolt Display? gently caress you! Have some dark linen! Do you have /two/ Thunderbolt Displays? Well I hope you like two thousand dollars worth of DARK LINEN.

If you're fine with it not really being fullscreen (do any fullscreen apps actually introduce new functionality?) then you can just get something like SizeUp and use that to maximize the window without fullscreen mode. SizeUp is pretty boss and you should be using it anyway!

BTTool can do on-drag fullscreen/halfscreen/quarterscreen like W7 and it's massively improved my OS-X experience.

It's OS X, not Linux-so even if you made some hack to make it work it would probably break something else or quit working once the next update comes put. Do you really think Apple was sitting there like "Let's only make this work on one monitor..."? There's probably a good reason why it works the way that it does. Or doesn't work the way you want it to. Maybe they have a fix in the works and don't have there resources to QA it right now? It's not like other things like Flash had dual-monitor fullscreen working right at first.

If you start thinking through the interface changes and other weird edge cases needed to get switching between full-screen apps and spaces working well across two or three monitors of varying sizes, you can see how they just landed on full-screen stuff only working on one by default. Hopefully they will improve it eventually, but it's definitely a problem for a tiny percentage of their users, and OS X still largely works just fine with multiple screens.

I agree that it sucks, but even Apple does not have an infinite number of resources. If they've determined that they cannot ship support for full-screen apps on multiple monitors without significantly rethinking Spaces/Mission Control and the related gestures. They can: 1) Delay the release of the OS and figure it out. 2) Cut full screen app support for everyone. 3) Disable the full screen button once two monitors are connected. 4) Ship what they shipped. Considering how many people use multiple monitors, options 1 and 2 are obviously off the table. For my setup, option 4 might as well be option 3, but maybe you have your laptop plugged into a giant screen and never look at the tiny laptop display, in which case option 4 is just fine for you. On top of this, full screen mode is obviously designed around smaller screens. Most apps just aren't designed around using a full 2560x1440 or even 1920x1200 screen effectively, and the kind of user with a second screen is probably going to have that second screen be pretty high-res, because the whole point is more usable space, which would be wasted by going full screen on most apps.

Integrating the expected multi-monitor support into Mission Control is a hard problem. I think Apple said "gently caress it" and shipped it this way because as much as we like to think we're the common case, it's very drat likely a small minority of people that use multiple monitors. I'm sure there are Apple engineers that desire the expected kind of multi-monitor support that we do, but they know better than any of us that Apple has higher priorities.

It's great for cases where you want no distractions. Even on a 30" Cinema Display, I usually full-screen Xcode to program.

VMWare Fusion only does non-retarded fullscreen mode if you have >1 monitor.

I've been using the free version of Alfred for a couple of weeks, and it was okay, but not mind blowing. I thought I'd try out the powerpack anyway (Cheap enough + Support devs), and wow. Just wow. Being able to shortcut terminal commands makes it worth the money alone.

If they've determined that they cannot ship support for full-screen apps on multiple monitors without significantly rethinking Spaces/Mission Control and the related gestures. They can: 5) Change the behaviour of full-screen mode to simply 'super-maximize' the app instead of granting it its own desktop. So moving an app to a second monitor and full-screening it would have it fill just that monitor as you'd expect, and you could potentially have multiple full-screen apps on top of each other on one monitor. I confess I don't use fullscreen mode (because it's largely useless to me and I forget I have apps on other desktops open) and obviously I don't have any actual data but I can't imagine the downsides to laptop / single screen users (i.e. having to cmd-tab instead of swipe between fullscreen app) would outweigh the upsides to anybody who uses multiple monitors, where fullscreen would now be a viable option. Edit: I guess this would fall inside of your option 1 but WHATEVER
