Nice. Can you fully customise the notifications centre so that it includes Facebook/twitter updates etc?

i've not really played around with it that much so i couldn't tell you! but first thing i noticed was the improvement speed wise. lion used to lag loads, definitely an improvement.

Normally when you switch on a MacBook, theres an apple logo with the loading dial underneath which then takes you to the desktop. I switch on my MacBook and the apple sign changes into a stop sign with the loading dial underneath, which goes on forever and doesn't take me to the desktop. Im really worried I might lose all my documents. I have an appointment with apple tomorrow and i really hope they can sort it. In the meantime, has this happened to anyone before?

After a reinstall, did you loose any of your documents?

Quite happy with Mountain Lion, much faster, than snow leopard was!!!
Just bought Apple TV, and it's a load of crap (doesn't run Airplay on macs older than about 1 year, shoulda read the small print)
Is there any reason for me to keep Apple Tv or should I sell it on?

thought about jailbreaking and installing XBMC on it...but sounds like it will take up a lot of time.
Might be easier to just buy a long HDMI-Mini DV cable Laughing out loud Laughing out loud Laughing out loud

My friend have me his Apple TV while he was away, and I wasn't that impressed either. Agreed on mountain lion though, much faster!

Apple TVs are pretty pointless unless you jailbreak them and put XBMC on it, then it opens it up completely and makes the thing useful.

Sorry i'm drunk. Depends if more people start making them i guess, not many manufacturers are at the moment. So, i'd say no, not soon.

Bought a Macbook on eBay, sepcifically asked if it was a UK version, he said yes.. it comes and has a German Manual and 2 pin plug.. should I ask for a refund, will there be any differences other than the plug?
