Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Developer PreviewReleased By Apple
Apple released a developer preview of the next major release of its operating system named Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. If you are a registered Mac developer then you can test the new flavor of Apple. Not to mention in this release Apple has added lost of charming features among them Gatekeeper is really handy one at leat from security point of view. Apple says gatekeeper will "help prevent you from unknowingly downloading and installing malicious software". Some of other features included by apple are iCloud, AirPlay Mirroring, Messages, Reminders, Notification Center, Share Sheets, Twitter Integration, Game Center and so on.
Brief About Gatekeeper:-
The Gatekeeper feature has three levels of security for running applications downloaded from the Internet; "Mac App Store", "Mac App Store and identified developers" and "Anywhere". The first setting only runs applications downloaded from the Mac App Store, in a style similar to the iPhone only running apps from the App Store. Unlike the iPhone though, Gatekeeper lets users allow applications from other sources. The "Mac App Store and Identified Developers" option only allows applications from the store and from developers who have signed their program with an Apple-issued Developer ID, while "Anywhere" allows any program to be downloaded and run. It is unclear how Gatekeeper interacts with software loaded from other media, such as a USB memory stick or CD/DVD.
