That Mountain Lion page prominently features a section headlined New Features for China. Those people in Cupertino are thinking every minute.

Mountain Lion - the sliding desktop linked to notification center is ingenious, but doesn't take it far enough. I do not understand why Apple cannot get this idea all the way correct though. Spaces is almost right. The sliding desktop is almost right. I cannot have a big enough desktop. Almost everything I'm doing is on my desktop. The stuff that is too big I'll put an alias on the desktop. Having multiple desktops for different uses seems like a no brainer. Its a little frustrating to me. Probably because the MacOS team is a secondary team now. Hopefully notifications/reminders will be better than iCal notifications which are annoyingly intrusive. I'm using Growl with an RSS Menu to monitor things I'm looking to buy on craigslist. Growl is pretty good. Audio notifications and visual. I think they must have copied it. RSS Menu is *almost* perfect. It ONLY notifies you when something has changed, for example someone put up a new ad for a Dahon Foldable bicycle. It checks craigslist up to every 5 minutes then if there is a new add you are notified, so you can beat the competition. The only problems are its unstable, the RSS titles don't work right, and the developer foolishly decided to make it available only through Apple. But none of the other RSS apps I found notify - that makes them useless.
