You just must love Apple for their product names. Lion, Mountain Lion, Time Capsule, Magic Mouse.. :)
They're going to start running out of cats to use eventually.
The Cats should sue them for name infringement.
How long until Mac OS is dead and were all using iOS devices?
If you choose Apple. Many would never go near iOS at all...Quote:

They can re-use cat names, in the way Ubuntu name releases...
"Terrible Tiger" "Limp Leopard" "Languishing Lion" and "Senile Snow Leopard"
It amuses me greatly that only in 2012 do Apple see fit to add a notification system to their desktop OS. I wonder if they'll patent it?
BTW,have you noticed that it is not call Mac anymore?
no, they will just add other bits on like rain, snow, fire, wind, blue, white, black, tall, short, fat, so you'll have sex panther, old cougar, wide puma, etcQuote:

yeah, they announced that the hardware is mac and osx is the operating system/software, to differentiate the two, in case anyone gave a damn, that's if they noticed in the first placeQuote:

I hope never, they are going in the wrong direction trying to take MacOS closer to iOS - imo it should be the other way round!Quote:

Still sounds like a few useful features, if its another £25 upgrade I wouldn't mind updating.
The inverted scrolling was something that I changed within 15 mins, a couple of my friends really like it though, and I can see why with some people it would make more sense, but not to me.
I wonder what feature that I like they will remove this time though, with lion they removed front row, which I use quite a bit, lucky that you can put it back, though with the itunes updates you can't play music through it anymore, though that isn't why I used it anyway.
I actually thought the inverted scrolling was a bug/driver issue/virus when I first encountered it......absolutely nuts IMO.
