» To put this in perspective: The previous version of OSX, 10.7 Lion, took nearly four months to reach 6 million users. in a weekend, Mountain Lion is already halfway there.
That was quick. After a stretched-out development cycle for the previous two versions of Max OSX, it looks like version 10.8 — Mountain Lion — will be ready to go later this summer. And it sounds like it continues the trend of 10.7 by bringing elements of iOS to the desktop, most notably the notifications panel (awesome for those annoyed by Growl), Twitter integration and a reboot of iChat as iMessage. Welcome changes all around. Are you looking forward to a new version of OSX?
Looks like we finally have a reason to upgrade to Mac OSX Lion. (BTW, iBooks Author is on the Mac App Store.)
» It’s so hard to say goodbye … Not all changes were in the form of hello, however. The polycarbonate MacBook, a stalwart of the line since Apple’s move to Intel, is gone, effectively replaced by the MacBook Air. It’s the first time in a decade that Apple hasn’t sold a white plastic notebook of any kind. A sad day, but one full of new beginnings, right?
