Apple has confirmed that the new OS would boast Twitter integration, just like iOS on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
I feel as if Apple are charging $30 a year to own a Mac.... if you understand the concept of upgrading your operating system every year.
Messaging feature in OS X 10.8 Messages supports iMessage, AIM, Yahoo!, Google Talk, and Jabber protocols Users can start a conversation on their Mac and pick it up on the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Hypocrisy knows no bounds. When Apple and Google were struggling against MSFT in the past, they called MSFT greedy and monopoly. Google and Apple are now behaving like MSFT at the height of its pinnacle. Apple is greedy and now plan to introduce new Mac OSX, Iphone IOS, Ipad, Ipod every year. Remember, Apple hardware are not open system like PC. You selected a system that turned out to have not enough memory and hard drive space not enough, There are no personal upgrade possible. You have to buy a new apple device. They are always and almost twice the price of Windows system. That I call greedy. What I am going to say may mean nothing to you culturally. I am American of Chinese decent and understand Chinese writing. The Chinese words (traditional Chinese characters) for greed and poverty is one stroke different. Even for Chinese, sometimes greed and poverty in written form were mistakenly interchanged because they look alike creating confusion.
What I like about Apple is that they are charging every year a tax for a major OS upgrade... Look at this mountain lion version for example: you must have a prior version installed on your mac to do WHAT? Exactly...UPGRADE!!! If there's no fresh install, it's an UPGRADE! So, basically, Apple is WORST than Microsoft in these terms. At least you can run Win98SE with KernelEx to have almost all the software runing today, but with OS X you have to what? UPGRADE! P.S. Not to mention their HUGE price over white plastic, 'cause any PC these days is far more powerful than an mac. If you don't believe me compare an iBook with Alienware.
