The newest cat member of OSX is named Lion. Coming in the summer of 2011, Lion will add a handful of new features to Apples Operating system. With their slogan "Back to the Mac", Lion is focused on bringing the best parts of iOS, the operating system that runs Apples mobile devices, and bringing them to your desktop and/or laptop. Lion will have an all new App Store, applications specifically tailored for the Mac that will open the doors for developers to create some fantastic desktop programs that can be held on your home screen. Lion introduces the use of "Mission Control", a swipe of your trackpad and you will be able to see all open programs and be able to manage them all from the home screen. OSX Lion is focused on bringing more of the iOS touch capabilities to the Mac, but instead of making touchscreen desktop and laptops, the hints point to a new version of the mouse trackpad for next years refresh of computers that will make touch based computing on a Mac easier than ever. While these are only a few of the new features debuting next summer, the new operating system will be bringing a lot more goodies once it's released. Stay tuned all semester for the latest news and mac rumors!
