If you missed last night’s Live Noisecast Hangout, you missed both Vitto and Chris rag on Apple’s latest “service pack.” Well guess the jokes on them seeing as more than 3 million people decided that Apple’s OS X 10.8 is worth an Andrew Jackson for a service pack<\/del> OS upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple has officially dubbed Mountain Lion their most successful OS release to date. For what it’s worth there are some really great features that are worth upgrading for, namely AirPlay Mirroring and Dictation; sadly you’ll need some relatively new hardware to get the most out of it.
