Apple’s Mountain Lion Makes the Mac More Like the iPad

If only I owned an iPhone or iPad! But then, note how Apple nickels and dimes its users to death (IMHO)! Of course, in this case, I am treating $30 like a nickel or dime!

This is from David Pogue's excellent blog on the NY Times. 

"There had been rumors swirling that Apple was back-burnering the Mac, but that’s hard to believe after Thursday’s announcement: from now on, Apple will update Mac OS X once a year.

Apple’s iPhones and iPads get most of the attention, but Apple is now directing the spotlight on the Mac.

It will start this summer with Mac OS X 10.8, code-named Mountain Lion, only a year after the Lion version was released.

Now you’ll have to decide once a year whether or not to succumb to paying annually the $30 (or whatever Apple winds up charging) for the privilege of remaining current."
