It's more social than ever before ... It should be fun, but I'm interested in what their next OS will be called?

"Apple has announced the latest version of its Mac operation system will be released on Wednesday. OS X Mountain Lion makes it easier to share material to social networks and also introduces a notification panel similar to that found on many smartphones.

The news was revealed in the company's third quarter earnings release. Mac sales were 2% up on the year, but the results fell short of many analysts' forecasts.  The firm's shares dropped about 5% in after hours trading on Wall Street.

Apple first announced the latest update to its operating system in February. The update continues a trend to introduce features to its desktop and laptop families that have already been implemented on its iPad and iPhone mobile devices.

These include the ability to upload and synchronise material with its iCloud internet storage service; the introduction of the iMessage service allowing text message-like chats between the firm's computers and handsets; the ability to easily share material to Twitter; and an application to compare the user's video game scores against those of their friends."
