A day with Mountain Lion
Apple announced (Mac) OS X Mountain Lion. Twitter exploded and the web went mad.
John Gruber and a bunch of other tech journalists got a personal preview last week.
Jim Dalrymple has been tinkering with Mountain Lion since last week. The Beard refused to comment.
Jason Snell wrote a very nice article about the new OS.
A lot of people whined about Apple releasing a new version of the OS. A lot of people whined about that Apple releases anything. A lot of people whined about Apple. I did the dishes.
The details of OS X Mountain Lion are being dissected and everything is being over-analyzed, just like always. A lot of people hate the new name, hate the design, hate the linen, hate Notification Center and hate everything else too. Oh, and some people hate Apple for being Apple and accuse those who care for being in a cult and worshipping at the altar of Steve Jobs.
Some people think Apple is trying to steal Microsoft’s thunder by doing this. (no link since that would mean I would have to read some of it, and I fear for my mental health)
Linus Torvalds most likely doesn’t care and he will probably focus on making Linux even better instead of reading about what Apple does or doesn’t do. RMS has not issued any comments and I don’t care if he does, for that matter.
The universe hasn’t exploded, Gnab Gib hasn’t occurred and Ragnarök is still in the planning stages.
