Though consumers have been well aware of Lion, the latest name in Mac OSX releases, since the preview was publicly unveiled in late October, the countdown has nearly reached its halfway point, with a summer 2011 release scheduled for markets in the Northern Hemisphere. Lion will mark the 8^th major operating system release for Mac users, adding another big cat to the Apple animal kingdom. But will Lion truly do its name justice, marking enough improvement to declare itself the new “King of the Jungle?”A lot of buzz surrounding Lion centers around its parallels to Apple‘s mobile operating system. In short, Lion is expected to factor in a lot more iOS favorites, closer linking Apples wildly popular mobile devices with its home computing products. Users hope Lion will effectively merge the full functionality of your standard desktop or laptop computer with the simplicity and convenient user interface that has made Apple’s mobile device platform so revered. Towards this end:

• AutoResume When a particular app is closed out, when reopened it will continue from its point of last use.
• Hidden Scrollbars It may be subtle, but unless actively perusing content, scrollbars will not appear, only manifesting when in use.
• Launchpad Launchpad will look similar to iOS from an aesthetic standpoint, offering icon grids arranged in pages, just as you would find on an iPhone or iPad. It will also maintain the ability to create folders for grouping apps and creating new pages for more depth in organization, as in iOS. Read more »

With an update issued only a week ago, Apple has already released a new version of Mac OS X 10.6.5 server, in an effort to plug some holes in security flaws that were plaguing users of the earlier update. The former update, the 10H574, lacks a security patch built into latter version, the 10H575.Users who downloaded 10H574 may be subject to getting mail intended by others thanks to a problem with the Dovecot server. Obviously, this poses problems in the areas of information leakage, identity theft and personal privacy. The 10H575 should completely rectify the issue, only applicable to those who previously downloaded the 10H574 update within the past 2 weeks. Read more »

With the 2010 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) choosing to focus more on the company’s mobile developments and capabilities as opposed to entirely new operating systems, many tech enthusiasts across the globe are hoping for more innovative approach to the 2011 event. After all, the ’11 WWDC would follow the appropriately laid out precedent for new operating systems, with Panther, Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard all approximately 2 years apart in terms of release.Speculation is already underway as to what Mac OS X 10.7 may hold, not to mention what corresponding big cat will be made its unofficial namesake. Considering that the switch from Leopard to Snow Leopard was an admittedly bland one (subtly implied by their stay within the Leopard subspecies), if internet rumors are to be believed, upcoming changes are expected to be substantially different than anything Mac users, better yet fully literate computer enthusiasts have ever seen before. According to Apple’s official recruitment page, this following job listing has only fueled the excitement, reading “Are you looking to help create something totally new? Something that has never been done before and will truly amaze everyone? Are you excited by the prospect that what you helped create would be used every day by millions of Apple customers? Then come and work on with the Mac OS X software engineering team to help build a new and revolutionary feature for Mac OS X. We are looking for a senior software engineer to help us create a revolutionary new feature in the very foundations of Mac OS X. We have something truly revolutionary and really exciting in progress and it is going to require your most creative and focused efforts ever.” Read more »
