OS X: Mountain Lion!

Today, Apple announced a new version of OS X. Of course named after a cat of some sort. This time, Mountain Lion. I ain't lion! (You've cat to be kitten me!) Enough with the stupid puns, let's get to the important stuff. First off, Mountain Lion has very tight integration with Twitter. From Safari, there will be a simple button, where there is a link added, and a non-intrusive interface where you can compose your Tweet. That's nice, but not very exciting compared to the iOS like features included. Now, there will be a notification center! Yes, practically identical to iOS's, but it will appear on the right side of your screen. There is also an addition of Reminders (which might signal a revamped iCloud to sync this across all platforms. without Siri...) iMessage has basically come to Mac with Messages, which is available for download from Apple's website. Delivery receipts can be sent to your email, but only by choice. The social aspect is now becoming tightly integrated with the system, with Twitter, Messages, and also GameCenter. Nothing exciting, because GameCenter really isn't that great of a network. A notable feature is Gatekeeper, which is like a bodyguard for your Mac. There are security options for where apps are installed from, and when a password is required. This also cracks down on malware, with Developer ID's. This way, a developer ID can be taken away if there is malware made by them. These features are nice, but aside from Messages Beta, you'll have to wait until Summer to grab them. Pricing is unknown, but we'll have to just wait and see.
