The results, released Tuesday, may intensify pressure on Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz, who has spent the past 2 1/2 years trying to turn around the Internet company.

If you’re not yet aware of what Lion will include, read on, we’ll fill you in.Lion includes features that are meant to bring the user experience found on the Mac closer to the one that’s been core to iOS devices for years. It was first announced at the special Mac-related “Back to the Mac” event and shown off in greater detail just over one month ago at this year’s WWDC, Apple’s annual developer-oriented event. Since then, it has generated excitement among consumers, developers and bloggers alike.

For Steve Rogers, all it took to go from a puny, military-rejected weakling to muscle-bound super soldier was a hyperbaric chamber and a couple injections of experimental serum. It wasn’t quite so easy for Chris Evans to pull off the feat off-screen.

I’d walk out and I’d be like, ‘I need to vomit. I hate this trainer. I hate this movie. I want to go to sleep for a week.’ It was just relentless.
