OSX Mountain Lion

Apple formally dropped the words "Mac" from the name of its latest Operating System, OSX Mountain Lion, most probably because the Mac refers to hardware, and OSX is obviously an operating system.

Apple seems to integrate what they have learned from the iPad into the OSX, in an effort to make their products more uniform probably? When the Launchpad came to Lion, it seemed like a really big thing to many people, but not to me. I still use Snow Leopard, and I am happy. I do not think there are major differences between the SL and Lion. At least, not enough to make me buy it.

Coming back to the topic, Mountain Lion is coming out this summer. And most probably it will be sold through the Mac App Store. For people with very slow connections ( like me ), this is not really the best news.

Here is a list of some of the new features listed on the Apple website :

  1. iCloud 
  2. Messages
  3. Reminders
  4. Notes
  5. Notification center
  6. Share Sheets
  7. Twitter
  8. Game Center
  9. Airplay mirroring
  10. Gatekeeper
  11. All new features for China. ( Apple Ai Zhōngguó )
As you might have noticed, some of the features listed above have been directly taken from the iOS, like Notifications Center and the Gaming Center. 

As you people know, China has been a very important market for Apple. They have a store in Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai. And Chinese people take apple products very seriously

Please check the Apple website for further updates!

These were just my basic views, Thanks for reading!
