I still can't believe the 'skeuomorphic' interfaces for Calendar and Reminders made it into the final version of Mountain Lion.<p>These apps are often in the corner of the screen while working with different applications; they should be minimal and not full of harsh textures and deep bevels. Also, they're just plain ugly.<p>Here's a screenshot for those not familiar: <a href="http://f.cl.ly/items/3R0I3X2Y041b091l0j1w/Screen%20Shot%202012-07-25%20at%2015.09.51.png" rel="nofollow">http://f.cl.ly/items/3R0I3X2Y041b091l0j1w/Screen%20Shot%2020...</a>
If you bought one of the updated models from June 2012, don't forget you can get the upgrade for free: <a href="http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/" rel="nofollow">http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/</a>
Why do I get the feeling that Apple wants to turn my laptop into a big ipad with a keyboard? Facebook sharing, Twitter integration... These features make sense for users like my Mom, but I couldn't care less. Are there any compelling features for developers? Why should I hassle with upgrading, especially after a lot of the stability issues people had when upgrading to Lion? I want to keep being productive, not turn my laptop into a gizmo toy.
Looks like I've lost all the command line tools. Trying to install them via Xcode 4.4 results in telling me I don't have the appropriate permissions to download them (I have an Apple Developer account but I'm not signed up to any programs).<p>This of course breaks homebrew installs (I found the issue when trying to run an application that uses image magick).<p>Anyone else having this issue?
Did one of you check if airplay works in clamshell mode? I.e. when you have a keyboard/touchpad connected and wake up the mac with closed lid, does the screen content show up on the tv wirelessly?<p>This would be very convenient for a clutterless desk and reduce the number of cables I have to plug/unplug to the power cord when arriving/leaving.
I'm confused.<p>It says ¥128.00 there. So, I checked google <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=%C2%A5128.00+in+usd" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/search?q=%C2%A5128.00+in+usd</a><p>That's less than $2 or I must be mistaken.
Interesting to note they're using the "old" Twitter logo on <a href="http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html</a> (right at the bottom).
Am I the only one who had problem installed the GM (dev. final release) with FileVault 2 enabled? Anyone can confirms he had difficulties installing from the MAS too with FV 2 or it worked flawlessly?
Nice, if not brand new, collection of answers to probable questions: <a href="http://www.macworld.com/article/1165460/mountain_lion_what_you_need_to_know.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.macworld.com/article/1165460/mountain_lion_what_y...</a><p>Includes answer to my doubt, it seems you can upgrade Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion 10.8.
