OS X Mountain Lion
Hi guys so there it is i was thinking of a new post and i thought i should mention new apple OS ye, and i promise you it is excited i will try to keep it simple so that you not gonna be bother after the first few lines. So there you go:
So the whole thing was inspired by iPad and re-designed for Mac. System requirements ware simple, social networks. I think Apple wanted to focus on all social aspects of Mac that why they worked on improving:
- iCloud
- Messaging
- Notes
- Gaming
- Notification system
- Security
- Airplay (TV connection)
- Reminder
- Sharing
- iCloud
Keeps your mail, calendar, documents, contacts all up to date on any device you use, so when you delete something on one it automatically updates on others.
- Messaging
Messages - does everything what iChat does (supports Yahoo massager, AIM, Jabber and Google Talk) and even more, it comes with iMessages so you can text , send files to your friends on any other device like iPhone or iPad from you Mac, and not forgetting it all unlimited :). Its all automatically updated on you other devices so you can easily go back to your conversation. You can switch to FaceTime get delivery report, and see when someone is replying.
Also as a extra thing you try it now ( MESSAGES BETA ) go on and do it :)
- Notes
I’m really happy about this one because this means no more applications for taking notes. In Notes you can add photos and attachments, you can edit them delete them, quick search through them and share. It works with iCloud so you can have them with you all the time, and all updated. You can chose small details like font style and colours, and similar to Stickies can stay on you desktop if you need it out everyday.
- Gaming
Gaming Center - social playing games allow you play with friends on any device and meet new players. Really simple and personally if you like playing small games like Words with Friends then you would definitely like this.
- Notification system
Notification Center - Really useful, you know when you wanna check your mail then you have to go to the particular application same with Messages, FaceTime, AppStore and Calendar. With Notification Center you don’t have to go to do that as it as it all comes in one sidebar. You can chose what kind of notifications you want to be displayed, you can also connect Twitter to it and everything is up to date also with automatic software updates and more.
- Security
Gatekeeper - makes Mac’s safer then ever before, :) it helps control what applications are safe to download. You had a choice to either download 100% safe apps from AppStore, but what about those apps that are not there created by other developers, what if you want this particular application, well there you go Gatekeeper supposed to help you with those hard decisions. We all know malware is a killer XD, so why not get applications that are checked already, that makes life simpler. And even before we never had much problems with it at least we know Apple is working hard on keeping our computer and personal information safe. Also there is Developer ID that helps Gatekeeper check if the application is valid and check encrypted files.
- AirPlay
AirPlay Mirroring - for those with Apple TV. So ye if you have a any group work, conference or you want to share things like videos,photos and any other media with your family or friends that lives quite far away that is a fun and useful add to your Mac. But remember only with AppleTV.
Anyway i think its quite awesome just imagine how cool would be group work with this.
-
Twitter
Bye bye Twitter apps, with this you just sign in once and everything what you do can be posted on Twitter without living app you using and switching, you can post anything you are doing, writing, thinking. Sounds ultimate and it is!
- Reminder
Life SAVER! If you are a busy person with iPhone, Mac or iPad then you would love this! I am really busy person i know how it feels when you have life on your head on only one head. With university work revising, homework, group work, assignments going on at the same time it just hard to keep a track of it on the go. And then life outside, family commitments, birthdays and other things that you have to take care of. I literally struggled with note taking and managing even tho everyone thinks i’m good at it i guess practice is the key :). But seriously I went through few applications and none of them ware even close to good enough, then at uni i had to use small calendar and i was also putting things in my mobile at the same time so just imagine this mess (3 different reminders). Now with this Reminder working with iCloud i can imagine a huge relief so thank you Apple. And by the look of it , simple and organized. You can quick search through the list of things that you created. And remember it works with iCloud and Notification Center.
- Sharing
Share Sheet - helps you share anything you want from Safari or any other application you use via Flicker, Messages,Twitter and Mail. What you get is a share button that will help you with it.
So ye there you go i tried to keep it short and really simple! Thanks :)
