As a registered iOS and Mac OS developer I am officially allowed to use the previews of upcoming software. Ever since the first 10.7 beta, the default scrolling direction was what you would call "inverted", the opposite of in 10.6 but the same as in iOS. Of course it was strange at first sight but worked out pretty well, because it makes much more sense: When you want to see the contents of the lower part in a page, you no longer push the "viewport" down (as this is an abstract thing in reality) but push the page upward. It feels really natural, at least on a trackpad. You do the same thing as you always did on your iPhone, and I got used to it so much I inverted scrolling on 10.6 as well (with the little tool Scroll Reverser[^1]). And because "bloody edge" is my second name, I used the same tool on my iMac with the Apple Magic Mouse. Surprisingly, this works, too. Only in the very first moment after a "break" from scrolling I'm still practicing the old habit, but then It's a good feeling to *scroll
