Apple has today announced the successor to its popular Mac OS Lion operating system, unveiling Mountain Lion, the ninth major release of its desktop platform which will bring more of its iOS features to the desktop.
Gone are traditional messaging apps like iChat, in comes Messages, Notes, Reminders and even Game Center for Mac, mimicking the iOS features on your iPhone and iPad, also delivering Notification Center, Share Sheets, Twitter integration and AirPlay.
If you wanted iOS on the desktop, you are about to get it, Mountain Lion
Apple has released the operating system as a developer preview, building iCloud support directly into the OS, making it easy to use and easy to operate with the integration of apps. As Apple works to fine-tune the platform, Mac users will be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8 via the Mac App Store later this summer 2012.
Apple has said that the next iteration of its OS X operating system will be sold exclusively through the online Mac App Store. This means you will require a fast Internet connection and an Apple ID in order to upgrade to this OS when it releases later this year.
Apple started this trend with Lion, which was its first OS to be sold online. They even removed the software DVDs that were provided along with Macs that were sold with Lion pre-installed. However, later on Apple did start selling the OS on bootable flash drives through its stores for $69, which is a lot more than the $29 you pay for the OS through the Mac App Store. However, that option will be discontinued with the release of Mountain Lion.
The pristine image of Macs was shattered recently by the Flashback Trojan that had infected 650,000 Machines runuing MAC OS X and now researchers have discovered two other variants of the Trojan that could potentially infect even more Mac computers. One is a variant of the Backdoor.OSX.SabPub.a, or simply SabPub, that also exploits a Java vulnerability, while the other attacks via Microsoft Word documents.
Anti-virus firm Kaspersky Lab identified the two variants, explaining that the SabPub Trojans are quite different from the Flashback variants. "SabPub is classic backdoor Trojan, so it opens full access to a victim system for attackers. Flashback and its known variants is downloader and clickjacking bot, which means it conducts click fraud scam by hijacking people's search engine results inside their web browsers," said Kaspersky Lab chief security expert Alex Gostev.
It's been a while since since Apple made an advertisement about the Mac, as the company was focusing on iPhone and iPad. The last ad for Mac Os we've seen was the popular old "Mac vs. PC" series. But now that Apple recently updated their MacBooks, they probably felt it was the right time to go ahead and make some new ads. Watch the ads below!
