It's only been seven months since Apple launched Mac OS 10.7 Lion, but the company isn't sitting still: it just announced the developer preview of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, a tweaked and enhanced new version of the operating system that includes major new features like Notification Center, AirPlay mirroring, and iMessage. Yes, those are all headline iOS features as well; Mountain Lion continues Apple's cycle of using the iPhone and iPad to influence Mac development and vice versa.

I first read the news in John Gruber's www.daringfireball.net. He's a blogger and as I was reading through it, I thought this is just one of those posts where maybe at the end he'd say that he is just dreaming this stuff. Or something like that.

But then I saw this post in The Verge and that's when I knew it to be true. I definitely did NOT see this coming!

Exciting update, nonetheless.

This is a call to arms. For more info on startup weekends, head on to startupweekend.org. A website and Facebook page for Startup Weekend Cebu will come up soon.
