March 7, at pm. OS X T Callahan says:. Unfortunately, I don't know whether the preview is still available. If so, I can imagine developers still can use it in case of regressions. I'd keep this for another month or so, until the final release has been distributed more widely.

Switching your iPhone to use your email address for caller ID solves the problem in a roundabout way — anyone replying to you will send iMessages to your email address, but new iMessages sent to your phone number will still only arrive on your phone.
This is particularly stupid, but it's only fair to blame the studios for such foolishness, not Apple. By the way, you read that right — we saw Real Racing on a Mac being played head-to-head with an iPad. The Game Center app looks and feels just like the iOS Game Center app, with friends, finding multiplayer opponents, leaderboards, achievements, and now in-game voice chat on OS X.
Thankfully, you can turn it off. Third party apps can of course tap into all these services as well, and a new API lets developers enable Documents in the Cloud and Document Library as well. The changes are wide-ranging: iCal, iChat, and Address Book have been renamed to Calendar, Messages, and Contacts, Reminders and Notes have been pulled out made into their own iCloud-enabled apps, and there are new iOS-style Share buttons with Twitter integration throughout the system.
Calendar in Mountain Lion still sports the hideous faux-leather texture treatment it got in Lion, but two of the more glaring interface annoyances have been remedied: clicking the Calendars button now slides open a listing of all your calendars instead of dropping down a popover sheet and you can turn off invitation alerts while leaving meeting reminders active.
Notes is now a standalone application that looks almost exactly like the iPad Notes app, although thankfully with less faux-stitched-leather accents. Notes also support inline images and links, and you can format fonts, styles, and colors any way you like. Notes syncs with iCloud out of the box, but you can also sync with Gmail, Yahoo, and other services that support notes.
Gatekeeper is a major new addition to Mountain Lion, and a major change for OS X app distribution in general. Apple will now be offering Mac developers the ability to sign their apps before distribution, and Mountain Lion will ship out of the box restricted to running only signed apps and apps from the Mac App Store.
You can still run any app you want by right-clicking on an unsigned app or simply changing the global setting to allow apps from anywhere. You can also lock things down even tighter and only allow App Store apps to run.
Apple's says it's still tweaking a lot of the language and controls around Gatekeeper, so expect the text in the screenshot above to be different when Mountain Lion ships — the company wants to make Gatekeeper easy to understand and use without training users to blindly accept defaults. Your Gatekeeper setting gets sent if you opt-in to diagnostic reports, however. On paper, it sounds like a clever solution to the malware problem, but Apple's going to have to convince developers to participate for it to work — expect to hear a lot about Gatekeeper in the months to come.
