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?

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
