Less than two weeks after Apple released the third iteration of its developer preview of OS X Mountain Lion, the company has pushed out an update for the operating system.
Such a quick push could signal that Mountain Lion is closer to becoming “gold” and preparing its release to consumers.

The company says that Mountain Lion “introduces great features inspired by the iPad, re-imagined for the Mac”.
