So, I was browsing Apple.com  for information on their new Thunderbolt Display and came across this image…Apple Thunderbolt Display

I looked at it for a second and then realized it’s showing Aperture opened in full-screen mode on the external display and it looks like on the MacBook display as well.  Now, I’m not usually a stickler for these kinds of details, but unless I’m mistaken, you can’t actually do this in Mac OS X Lion.

In Lion, when you maximize a application on an external monitor, the second monitor becomes a useless screen as seen below.
