What do you get when you cross a Mac with an iPad? OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Its 200 new features include iPaddish goodies like dictation, Notification Center, and Reminders—but not a single page of instructions. Fortunately, David Pogue is back, with the expertise and humor that have made this the No. 1 bestselling Mac book for over 10 years straight.
The important stuff you need to know:
- Big ticket changes. Twitter and Facebook integration. AirPlay TV mirroring. Power Nap. Game Center. Documents in the cloud. iMessages. Gatekeeper. If Apple wrote it, this book covers it.
- Mountain Lion Watch. This book demystifies the hundreds of smaller enhancements, too, in all 20 programs that come with the Mac: Safari, Mail, Messages, Preview. . .
- Shortcuts. This must be the tippiest, trickiest Mac book ever written. Undocumented surprises await on every page.
- Power users. Security, accounts, networking, build-your-own services, file sharing with Windows—this one witty, expert guide makes it all crystal clear.
