OSX Mountain Lion

[Jakin]

Its so funny how all of these "amazing new features" like cloud, notifications, etc.. have been around in Ubuntu for years.

I concur. When i had mentioned this, after my friend asked just what i thought of Mountain Lion, he proceeded to jump down my throat; "Ubuntu might have had this for a long time, but its nowhere near as "polished" as it would be on OS X" I dropped the subject there.

I concur.

Last I checked, Ubuntu doesn't have a notification center, voice recognition/dictation, twitter/facebook integration, power nap, game center, 1080p 'airplay' mirroring, versions, or hundreds of other features native to OSX.

Might be different than what i was thinking of then. Should have been clearer- I was talking about the notifications, not all those other neat features. So then i guess he did have merit to sternly talk down to me, haha..

I intend to be Apple free soon, I am less than impressed with Apple on many counts.

Which Apple products do you currently own? What are your proposed alternatives?

I'm just curious

I never thought that day would come.

Would be nice if instead of just saying you are not impressed with Apple , actually listing the reasons you are not impressed...

I had.....

27" iMac
24" iMac
13" MacBook Pro
iPad 3
iPhone 4
Apple TV x2
MacPro

I still have ....

27" iMac
MacPro
Apple TV x2

The iPhone 4 became road kill and I have given away the others. I will keep the Apple TVs they are good, the iMac I will give away once i decide on a replacement and I will keep the MacPro I use that for business purposes.

Apple were good in my opinion second to none for a very long time however increasingly over the last few years the OS's have become increasingly restrictive,boring and now charging for what amounts to a service pack has annoyed me.

Their continual and anti-competitive litigation has really p'd me off, they are not competing with innovation they are competing via vexatious litigation. I can no longer support them and can give very small protest with my wallet.

I feel the same way, KiwiNZ. But I'm loving my Macbook Pro... just keeping it on Snow Leopard. I saw Lion, and for the first time since OS X was released, I had no interest in the upgrade. Mountain Lion I feel the same way.

Pretty happy with use a Macbook Pro with a Galaxy Nexus.

Does this mean the Rebel Alliance has won? What about the cookies?
