Gears and Gadgets: OSX Mountain Lion
Hello readers of ION. OSX Mountain Lion came out recently, and in a week or so, I will be getting a laptop and be able to download it. So, if you are patient enough, I might even do a video review of Mountain Lion.
But for the time being, you can read this article. It is quite long, and I would recommend just going to the things that will interest you, but it's here for your reading.
And just as another update, Minecraft 1.3 will be coming out very soon, and a in depth blog and vlog will be done about that as well.
Thanks.

Hello readers of ION. You may have heard already but there was a major shooting that killed 12 people in Aurora, CO. As 3/4th of our team lives in Colorado, we just wanted to let you know that we are all okay, but we would also like to take time to mourn these lives that were lost in our state.
