At least we can be thankful that Apple is (so far) fairly consistent.

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world appear weird. Now the

Technically a Cougar and a Mountain Lion are the same animal, so they
could use Cougar for a very minor update to Mountain Lion, but not

I begged him for months to do that. MacBook keyboards no longer sport an enter key, which was very essential for fast reading. Now you can also use the key above the right shift and left of the return key to achieve that function.
