The bombshell news relating to Apple’s plan to release a new version of OS X called Mountain Lion will no doubt come as a huge shock to many, and you will all be forgiven for still being in a daze considering it was only July of last year that the current OS X Lion was released.
Just 7 months after releasing OS X 10.7 Lion, Apple has formally announced OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. It’s a big step ahead in the “iOS-ification” of the world’s most advanced desktop operating system and we’ve got all the details you need after the jump!
We've all been there haven't we? You get that dreaded phone call that a PC isn't behaving as it should, and being the family tech support guy it's your responsibility to get it working again. It's just one of those things.
We love our Macs here at Redmond Pie, and we love the way OS X works. The ease of use blended with subtle power should you desire it makes OS X the best choice in our minds, though that's another argument for a different day.
Whenever a new product release draws nearer, we brace ourselves for the inevitable barrage of rumors surrounding the technical specification and the aesthetic appearance of the product. Post launch, we then sit in amazement as somehow people manage to perfectly predict just what is going to be announced, and laugh uncontrollably at the others who were so far off the mark. It was like they just tickled a random idea generator and printed the result.
I know what you're thinking, you only installed Firefox 10 a few days ago on your desktop and Android devices, and the beta of Firefox 11 is out already? Well yes, it does seem that Mozilla are pumping out updates faster than a steaming freight train, but worry not as the beta version of Firefox 11 may just bring some updated goodness that appeals to you if you are a fan of the foxy browser.
There is no denying that as a company, Apple have reinvented the use of the touchscreen. Before the iPhone and iPad, we did have devices which used touchscreens, but these were mostly based on resistive technology and required a stylus or some other horrific jabbing device to operate. Then came Apple in 2007 with the original iPhone which had a beautiful, crisp, capacitive touchscreen built right into it which totally changed the way we use personal consumer electronics.
Only yesterday, Apple released a point update for OS X Lion dubbed as version 10.7.3, but almost immediately, the Cupertino company's Support forums were essentially DDoS'ed by users complaining of the dreaded CUI errors.
Apple has just released a minor update to its OS X Lion operating system for public consumption. Now at version 10.7.3, the latest update to the “world’s most advanced operating system” comes with support for new languages as well as the usual dose of bug fixes.
Apple has already radically altered a few different markets in its time. The company changed the way music is sold and distributed, for instance, and few could argue that Apple was not the driving force behind the smartphone market as it is today.
