Has the Trash can icon changed in Mountain Lion? I know the Dock has different perspective/reflections, but the icon itself looks different. It also doesn't seem to get "fat" anymore when you add things into it.

How come can I visit my user folders on my Lion partition, when I?m in Mountain Lion, without having to enter ANY password ? Security issue much ???

..

Like with any operating system ever made?

Try plugging NTFS drives into a Linux, behold - you can traverse the directory structure at will. Same for OSX, Linux, BSD (HFS/Ext3/4/BFS/XFS et al) - same for every filesystem ever made that isn't encrypted.

That's why your OS of choice has an option to encrypt the contents, for Windows there's Bitlocker, for OS X there's Filevault and Linux offers various encryption techniques and for universal compatibility TrueCrypt offers super tight encryption.

New update for DP via App Store - 1.08Gb - downloading now.

Edit: feels a bit faster if that could be possible :)

It probably fixes that Safari bug when you type in letters it didn't like :rofl:, along with other minor fixes.

Just applied the update, didn't actually know what it changed or fixed but whatever :p

I do really like the Mountain Lion DP so far, no compatibility issues with any of the software I use, really like the new notification system and it was also an excuse to wipe my old Lion install which was slowly grinding to a halt.

Also introduced me to the new Safari, which I quite like too :)

The only thing I liked in the older DP's that isn't in this one is how the Notification Center icon would turn blue, indicating you have new/unread notifications. I'd like to see that brought back for the GM.

Anyone have a guess as to why Apple isn't releasing Facebook integration with Mountain Lion's initial release? Why have it in these DPs, but not in the final release?

Could that be a Facebook request, to launch this integration both on iOS and in Mountain Lion at the same time?

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.

      You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
