I will say that the new <a href="http://www.apple.com/macosx/mountain-lion/">mountain lion preview</a> has me worried. </p> <p>I dont want all that crap. I dont want to tweet from every app, i for sure dont want notifications like my phone has, and it looks like more and more fluff added to a great system. I hope they let me shut 95% of that consumer garbage off, i have work to do. </p>http://mattadams.co/post/17760787261http://mattadams.co/post/17760787261Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:53:24 -0700minimalismmacstuffmaciosminimalist<p><a href="http://www.realmacsoftware.com/clear/"><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzhmqgGS8z1qzllvs.png"/></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.realmacsoftware.com/clear/">Clear</a> is a new to do / list manager iphone app from realmac software and its very cool.
