Review: Mountain Lion is the platform more social Macs

The most visible changes shows that the company is encouraging a new experience with the system, leading people to interpret the Mac as an extension of mobile devices. So much so that computers put in three applications that were previously only seen in iOS: Reminders, Notes and Messages. With the first, you can create alerts that will be displayed in other gadgets apple, if the Mac itself, you will make use of other big news: the Central Notification.

The Mountain Lion comes with a sidebar that displays a range of reports. New e-mails, reminders, messages, appointments in Calendar, updating applications ... everything appears in a single space. To check the task list, just click a small icon in the upper right corner of the screen, then the Central Notification appears pushing the desktop to the side.



 

The version 10.8 of OS used in Macs was released for download on Wednesday (25/07), then install OS X the famous Mountain Lion here to show what is most important among the more than 200 updates.

Soon after the installation process (which takes about two hours), the user is already faced with the first - and important - news: the "welcome" of OS X 10.8. The startup configuration is iCloud, which becomes available to Mac users this means that you can share virtually all products from Apple with the help of the cloud.

Share

The bar contains what is perhaps the biggest highlight of this new version of OS X. That way you can write tweets, and soon there will also be connecting with Facebook (something about which more later). We can set this to highlight why sharing is a word that defines well the Mountain Lion - throughout the system were adopted ways to spread content.

When you open the Finder, for example, the owner of the machine note the novelty of two ways: there is a button "Share selected items" and also a "Share" that appears when you right click on something is triggered. The file type defines the possibility of dissemination, such as audio and video, which can not be sent to Twitter but you can send them by e-mail, or airdrop.

In total there are nine options for sharing applications, including Safari (which is now in version 6), Photo Booth, QuickTime, iPhoto and Preview. You have to exchange files via e-mail, messaging, airdrop, Twitter, Vimeo, Flickr and soon on Facebook. And the site of Mark Zuckerberg received a great emphasis on the operating system.

Facebook

There will be a great Mac-Facebook integration from now. The social network will have a number of funds with the OS X 10.8. When you log into the site by the system, the user takes all the contacts into the Mac and, thus, the birth dates are to appear in the Calendar

As we mentioned before, status updates can be made directly by the Central Notification - as well as adding photos to albums. And the sidebar also show site activity.

The Mountain Lion is definitely more social than the previous version and connection with the Facebook came to cover a hole, since the applications to control the network by Mac are not the best. In the case of Twitter, a timeline that shows the integration efficiently is able to kill the application's official Twitter, which already works quite well.

Overall, the system houses more than 200 new features, so if you decide to upgrade your Mac, tell us what features you most attention.

Amazon does not prevent the clash with Google and released "four five tablets soon" as a manager

No, Amazon does not amedranta with the launch of Google Nexus 7, which seeks niche now occupied by his tablet Amazon Kindle Fire. That is, if Google wants war, then war will be. This seems to think at the offices of the company with the largest online store.
And what is the response that prepares Amazon ? Well, as an officer of the company, what will happen is that in not much time "arrived between four and five tablets of Amazon to market" . There is nothing. Would you like soup? For two cups. So they spend Amazon, notice to mariners.
As is also reflected in MovilZona , it has been known also that the different ranges to be launched will be segmented with the tablet's screen size, which all indications are that there will be models 7, 8, 9.7 and 10.1 inches . Therefore, it "attacks" to all market segments and, thus, Amazon is positioned as one of the companies with the largest mobility. And, remember, which has its own application store and the operating system used is Android (tweaked by their developers, I must say, have been confirmed to have a new design and development headquarters in London, suggesting that the landing of the tablets from Amazon in Europe is imminent).

If this arrival is accompanied by prices as those offered by Amazon so far, that is tight and competitive , we have a serious rival to all existing companies, including Samsung and Apple.
What has not been able to confirm the arrival of the rumored phone from Amazon , which will almost certainly appear. But for now, nothing is confirmed. Anyway, this company is increasingly well positioned and, sure, that in less than a year lies between the four most important as far as mobility is concerned. Money has, and what you see, the attitude lacks.
