It's official: Mountain Lion will be released tomorrow.

?We?ve also just updated the entire MacBook line, will release Mountain Lion tomorrow and will be launching iOS 6 this Fall. We are also really looking forward to the amazing new products we?ve got in the pipeline.?

I've been running the GM since it was given to developers, it's very stable. I found a few issues with the new way Safari renders but it's very minimal.

So I guess you have an answer to your original question then ;).

He mean't at the WWDC 2012 conference. I think your replies were a little confusing, so he was questioning why they would announce it back in WWDC 2012. As far as them announcing the OS, they haven't posted a new GM build, so it's got to be close anyway. Just waiting for it to hit the AppStore, and I'll install.

Hell yeah :D Happy Wheels + Tobuscus = Funny Shizzle!

Checking out his Happy Wheels videos as we speak...

Damn is that guy hilarious whilst playing that! :laugh:

And I thought I was sick! :p

I read that AirPlay Mirroring will only work on "Sandy Bridge" multicore processors. Where do I go to find out if my Mid-2009 MacBook Pro is sandy enough for that feature?

It's not, unfortunately. Basically, if you have an Intel HD 3000 GPU, you have a Sandy Bridge system.

Doh! That is a shame...

Here is the info:

AirPlay Mirroring

Requires a second-generation Apple TV or later. Supports the following Mac models:

iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)

Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)

MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)

MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)

So I just installed Mountain Lion GM and for some reason, I have no Facbeook sharing option. Twitter is there, but no Facebook. Anyone want to hazard a guess as to why? Seems very very strange.

Facebook integration is still developer only. It's apparently going to be added in the Fall.

Great! Thanks for the info. Was really confused about why it wasn't working because I swore i had heard about it.

Loving Mountain Lion so far. For those who are wondering, there are MAJOR speed improvements on Safari. The difference is night and day.

It isn't hard to reproduce at all, just pinch out with more than two tabs and you will see it on any page that isn't pure white.

Did you report it? If you have it installed is because you are either a dev or a beta tester right?

I reported a couple of bugs and they were all fixed

Really? That's sucks for me, because I don't use Twitter. Guess I'll upgrade and wait.

Anyone tried Dictation on Preview 4? It doesn't seem to work for me, I hear the tone, I talk, but nothing happens.

Does your Mac have a Microphone built in? Most Mac Mini's don't.

Didn't try it in DP4 but it works great in the GM.

    • I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
    • The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.
    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
