Known Issues with Adobe products on Mac OS 10.7 Lion
If you upgrading to Lion and using Adobe software you want to check out this list first.

OpenGL extenstions viewer 4 for the Mac

Now available in for the Lion in the app store.
I just tried it out and it works here on my 2009 mac mini with Nvidia 9400 graphics.
You have to manually choose core profile instead of the default compatiblity for it to work.
Yeah I know it's all confusing,with the profiles thing, but that's the normal with OpenGL 3 I believe this one of the reasons there was a lot of complaints when it first came out even for Windows/Linux.
For OpenGL 3.2, and later versions including OpenGL 4.1, you additionally will have to indicate what profile you want the OpenGL context to support. Either the "Core" or the "Compatibility" profile.

Bioshock fix for via hd audio chipsets

If Bioshock crashes for you on Windows 7 and you have a VIA hd audio sound chipset or drivers the following fix will let you play the game without crashing:

1. Go to C:\Windows\System32 (or C:\Windows\SysWoW64 for x64 OS's)
2. Copy over wrap_oal.dll into the same folder where Bioshock's executable is located (steamapps\common\bioshock\Builds\Release\)
3. Rename this file openal32.dll

Seems like Bioshock is not finding the correct openal dll so this forces it to I guess.
