os x OS X Mountain Lion Discussion

[Aaron Olive]

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.

10.7.4 Trash Cans

10.8 DP4 Trash Cans

OS X has the best icons ever, nothing else comes even close. :wub:

[.Neo]

Hmmm...

[SuperKid]

Hmmm...

Your sound icon appears to have ran away and left huge gaps! Strange bug!

[.Neo]

No it's the date/time that started multiplying itself and went invisible. :p

Cool I can reproduce it! Open the Notifications Center and try to drag the clock around by holding down option.

[.Neo]

Also the Facebook widget in Notifications seems to have disappeared and I can't get it back. :/

Talking of funny bugs :)

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.

[PyX]

Traversing the directory structure is one thing, but being able to open all those files at will is another.

If this has been like this since the beginning of computing, it?s time to change.

[Miuku.]

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.

[al3xw]

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 :)

[Quillz]

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.

[.Neo]

Facebook notifications will now display in Notification Center.

[Miuku.]

The update seems to have fixed the mds/mdworker spiking when using Finder that was present in DP4.

[Hurmoth]

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?

Where did you hear that?

[Rudy]

How do you know it won't be in the final version?

[Miuku.]

I feel a bit retarded but I can't seem to be able to find the Facebook integration from my DP4+Update at all. *continues searching*

Edit:

Right, external download. Nevermind.

[Hurmoth]

Where did you hear that?

On Apple's Mountain Lion page, it states, "This fall, OS X will be even more Facebook friendly."

We know Mountain Lion will be released next month, that certainly isn't "Fall."

[.Neo]

Lame!

[Hurmoth]

My thoughts exactly .Neo. And it doesn't make any sense to me unless Facebook requested. Why would Apple hold a feature like this off until the fall?

[protocol7]

Safari feels snappier.

Actually I haven't noticed anything major yet. But browsing through the update pkg file it's updated nearly all the apps and extensions.
