Mountain Lion I was saved by the pinchers of power
Mountain Lion Apple’s next operating system was announced today with little hoopla, and little fanfare. What is interesting is that they held private meetings last week with journalists, and writers of the mac world.
John Gruber over at DaringFireball has the best writeup of the whole event, or non event.
We were sitting in a comfortable hotel suite in Manhattan just over a week ago. I’d been summoned a few days earlier by Apple PR with the offer of a private “product briefing”. I had no idea heading into the meeting what it was about. I had no idea how it would be conducted. This was new territory for me, and I think, for Apple.
It’s a good read and an interesting take on the thought behind why apple has chosen to change things up a little bit. I downloaded and installed Mountain Lion minutes before this post and havent really had a lot of time to test anything on it but the install process. I am excited about the expanded iCloud integration and about Gatekeeper. Ill report back when I have used it for a couple days at least and got a feel for the OS, Until then read up what other people have to say.
