Slightly off-topic, and I don't know if it's mentioned yet, but Safari for Windows seems to be discontinued? http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ "Hmm, the page you?re looking for can?t be found."

I would wait until the dust settles before making a rash comment like that :p I doubt they would discontinue it (although I don't think it has a lot of users...)

edit: this link still works fine to download a version that was updated in May http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1531

It looks like the http://www.apple.com/osx/ is not updated fully yet too, as it still says coming in July.

edit: sorry that old (coming in july) text was only in my browser cache.

Might be cached for you, it says available on the Mac App Store for me

Well, they haven't been adding any major new features to it for a while. Extensions were the only one to be fair.

Just orderd a usb flash drive now, will install this fresh in 2 weeks time. Looks like Internet Recovery doesn't have the options to install ML fresh from there once bought, just checked it out. Is there any official guide how to burn the .app file to the pen drive? I know i can be done seen it before but not sure how I go about doing it? and how do I boot off the pen drive? this is my first time!

What's the build number for Mountain Lion Final? I take it, it's different to the GM build? (12A269)

I'll know with complete certainty in a little bit, but the Developer Portal says 12A269 is the final.

Does upgrading to Mountain Lion also update the recovery partition?

I'd assume so

I'm not going to update till later tonight or tomorrow though, give the servers a chance to cool down and work faster :yes:

It finished updating a little bit ago. I repaired permissions after. Safari actually seems a bit slower to me. =(

If it doesn't improve over the next couple days, I'll just do a clean install and that is why I was asking if the recovery partition was updated or if I should use internet recovery. Lol

What is up with the website? I did NOT reply twice. Those two posts as I see them were typed all in the same reply.

      If possible change your subscription to a Microsoft 365 Personal Classic Account and no AI. And it is only $69.99 a year.

      That's (at least partially) on 7-zip; Nanazip (7-zip fork) adds itself properly to Context menus.
    • Ads have been turned off in the forums

      By Steven P. · Posted

      We have disabled advertising in the forums for now for an undetermined period. If you feel like you get a lot of value out of the site please do whitelist ads on the news articles, and/or consider getting a subscription, we offer two tiers, one at: $14 per year (support the site for just over a dollar a month) or the $28/year tier (just over $2/month) that disables advertising and affiliate link tracking throughout the site (so also on the news side). We also have a 'Buy us a coffee' page if you just want to make a one-time donation. I am not mincing words when I say it is becoming harder and harder to monetize publications like Neowin, it's a fact of life that when we can no longer afford to pay for everything we'll go like many other sites already have. It doesn't have to cost you anything There are other ways to support Neowin too, like posting on topic content in the forums (technical support/questions/helping others) and sharing our news articles.. this costs nothing but your time and is just as important as subscribing or making a monetary donation! Anyway thanks for your time and continued support of Neowin. Now in our 26th year, and hopefully many more! For all the lurkers out there that whitelist us, make a free member account, and see fewer (only inline) ads on the news side
