Even at $20.99, most consumers will not find Mountain Lion worth the upgrade. And it doesn't seem to speed up your Mac. People looking for things like Twitter integration and Cloud storage should get it. Everyone else, you can save your coins...

iCloud and social network integration; Notifications; iCloud tab syncing in Safari; fluid interaction with iOS
Limited dictation; basic Game Center, $20.99

MyMac Review
Other books on Mountain Lion are now appearing weekly. We'll cover some of them here on MyMac. It's good to know that the “Bible” series keeps its claim to be one of the more reputable and reliable. Galen Gruman covers the vast majority of the features th...
