I have spent the four months or so writing a review of the upcoming OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Client and Server Review. The review encompasses a massive amount of information surrounding OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. This includes new features, such as Notification Center, GateKeeper, Voice Dictation, and Game Center as well as refined features like iCloud and Mail.app.

Also included in this review is a section for developers that covers topics like ARC, Single Sign-on, and Developer ID. The other big section is for the Server application. The Server section includes, DNS, File sharing, Wiki, Profile Manager, and many other sections.

The Review will be available in the iBooks Store on July 25th, 2012. You can pre-order it now for $2.99 (Or equivalent in your iBooks Store).

You can also Buy the Kindle version at Amazon. Once the Barnes and Noble version is available, I will post about that.

Here is the list of Countries that the iBooks version is available in:

Australia Austria Belgium Bulgaria Canada Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Ireland Italy Latvia Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Norway Poland Portugal Romania Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland United Kingdom United States

I don't think CNN's technology team knows how to implement Google Plus.

I, much like you, am embarking on a new chapter in my life. I was in your shoes 12 years ago, graduating from High School. I was preparing to go to college. Since I would be paying my own way through school I decided to go to community college. Of course, many people claim that community college is not as good as a four year college, they are all wrong. I went to school for a couple of years, found something that I was interested in, Computer Networking, and got my certification. I have yet to actually finish my associates degree.

During High School I was never part of the popular crowd. I wasn't a jock, a member of band, nor was I in theater. I did do a couple of extra curricular things, like Model UN and German Club. Neither of those really went anywhere, but that didn't stop me from determining what I was good at, nor what I was interested in pursuing.

I was picked on a lot during school. But I generally did not allow it to get to me. I'm not going to say High School is easy, because it isn't. Anybody who describes your High School years as "the best years of your life" are completely wrong. High school is filled with pressures to attempt to fit into such a varied group of individuals in such a way that it allows you to find your niche. It is not an easy task. But we have all survived the journey.

Some say that High School is the best year's of your life. Do not trust this judgement. Yes, you will have some fond memories of High School. Possibly, your first date, first girlfriend or boyfriend, and even possibly your first kiss. All of these will remain fond memories that are conjured up from time to time. Cherish them, because they have, and will continue, to help shape who you are as a person.

As you continue on in your journey, there may be situations that re-kindle the memories that you cherish most during High School. It might be a person, a song, a car, a smell or even lazy day dreaming that conjures up the memory. You'll think fondly of the time and how far you have come since those days.

Some graduating may think that they have no idea where their life is headed. Others know exactly what field they want to pursue. Guess what, it could all change. Events and experiences that you have from this point forward will forever shape, and change, who you are, what you believe, and every moment will influence your actions. Some of you may be despairing at not knowing where your life is going. Instead of cowering in fear, embrace it. Life is about making lemons into lemonade.

I won't lie, I have had a pretty good life, and for this I am very grateful. Am I where I thought I would be at this point, no. I'm much further. I've had experiences, met people, and become friends with some of the most amazing people. They have forever changed my life. I have experienced loss, not only of lovers, but also of family. Events like these cannot be undone, they cannot be changed, the just are. They are, and forever will be, implanted in the cells of my brain. They appear at the oddest times. Some of these memories are joyous others are not. But I don't let what has happened in the past dictate what I do in the future.

I, just like you, have been through 9/11, Katrina, the Haiti earthquake and of course the Japanese earthquake and nuclear disaster. These are all shared experiences, and while they may not have directly affected me, they have in small ways changed me.

As I stated before, you are about to embark on a journey. Some of you will become doctors, some the next CEO of a Facebook-like startup. Others will become teachers, or just office workers. Some of you will graduate college, get your masters and even your doctorates, some may drop out. Some of you will have families, others may not.

Each and every one of you will make mistakes. It is a natural fact. Some of these mistakes will forever change your lives and others will just be mere passing problems. Nobody knows their future, but we can all put our influence on it.

There will be times when you think all hope is lost, when the world is against you. Those are the times that you have to stare at life, run straight for it, and tackle the hurdle head on. Avoidance and despair will not get you what you want. Hard work will. It may not always be a huge thing, it may be as simple as thinking that you do not have enough time to accomplish a task. Each little hurdle that is overcome will only help you.

If you think that life does not get any better than high school, let me inform you that it does. As I write this, I'm staring 30 straight in the face. We are about to go toe-to-toe. 30 is going to win, because I cannot change the fact that we all get older. 30, for me anyway, will be a turning point. I look forward to embracing my 30's with much more vigor than I did my 20's. Don't get me wrong, my 20's were pretty good. I had some relationships and experiences that I will never forget. I was able to travel to London. London is a place which I continue to, and will always, hold dear and will make an effort to return to again and again. It was the best trip of my life, thus far. I hope to be able to have an even better trip in the future.

There will be ups and downs. Try not to let the downs get you too down, nor the ups make you think you're flying too high to fall. As you leave high school, you will love, laugh, and suffer loss. Each of these moments are a lesson in life. Your experiences will make you a unique person. Sure, we will all go have shared experiences like 9/11. These shared experiences are what unite us together. Despite this bond, we all have our own unique perspectives. Do not use these perspectives as a wedge to drive yourself from a situation, use it as a stepping stone to share what you have to offer.

During your last 12 years of school you have made bonds with individuals who have helped you along the way. Some of these people will fade away, some will be there for life. Some will go away and come back. Do not fret, you will make friends with others. You will develop new relationships with individuals who will help you along the way. If you truly feel as though you have a good bond with some individuals, do whatever it takes to keep them. If they are true friends, they will be there when you need them the most. It may be after a bad breakup, it may be you need a ride home after getting a bit too tipsy, it may just be a friendly voice after a long day. Those who really are your friends, will be there. Through the good and the bad.

The last 'word of wisdom' I have to share, and this is the most important. Trust your instincts. If you decide to take nothing else from this, this is the piece of 'wisdom' that has been the hardest thing for me to learn. Once you master this, the possibilities will be endless. Too many people today do not trust their instincts, do not over think when that little voice inside tells you to do something, listen to it, and trust it. If it doesn't feel right, get out.

All of this may seem like a bunch of hooey coming from an "old person", to a degree it is. Many of you may ignore this, but some of you will take this and use it your advantage. Those of you who do, will be much better prepared than your classmates.

I will now leave you with two quotes, from an inspiration and person that I never had the pleasure of meeting. This sums up everything.

"You cannot connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect the dots looking backward. You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in the future. You have to trust in something, your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road, will give you the confidence following your heart, even off the well worn path, and that will make all the difference." - Steve Jobs

"Most of all, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you already want to become. Everything else is secondary." - Steve Jobs

This was as much a message to the graduating class as it was to myself. I have learned quite a bit since graduating, but I have a bunch yet to learn. You may be seniors now, but you will start over as freshman many times over in your lives. I will now leave you with one last thought. If you take anything from this letter, learn that you will never be done learning, loving, and laughing. Above everything else, Enjoy the Ride. It may be bumpy, but it will be a good one, and all the troubles that you face are well worth it in the end.

I cry for those who died too young I cry for those who died at all I cry for those who have loved and lost I cry for those who have never loved at all

I cry for the unknown species I cry for those who fell to pieces I cry for the soliders who never made it home I cry for the soliders who have never been known

I cry for those who are in pain I cry for those who have gone insane I cry for those who are made to suffer I cry for those who think their tougher

I cry for those who are looked down upon I cry for those who always frown I cry for the lost innocence I cry for those who have yet to experience loss

I cry for those who danced every dance I cry for those who missed the chance I cry for those who managed to fall I cry for those who managed to crawl

I cry for those who have witnessed death I cry for those who have a regret I cry for those who lived a full life I cry for those who fought for the right

I cry for those who were too early I cry for those who were too late I cry for those who were bullied I cry for those who were praised

I cry for those who were lost I cry for those who were found I cry for those who dared I cry for those who cared

Most of all I cry for us all

Here is a good example of how to do proper maintenance notifications for a website.

I now know that the Virtualbox website will be down until 8AM Pacific Time on 04/30/2012.

Let me forewarn you that there is quite a bit of colorful language is the following post. If you are not comfortable with it, stop reading now.

Okay, since you're still reading you obviously aren't afraid of some language. Let's get some definitions out of the way first. FUBAR is an acronym that means Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition. The 'R' can also stand for repair. SNAFU is an acronym for Situation Normal All Fucked Up. Below are my thoughts regarding these words.

I was talking to somebody earlier today about how a certain situation is the same as it was before and that nothing has changed. We both remarked how it's just a big SNAFU. But then I got to thinking, the situation is really just fucked up. However, it cannot be FUBAR, since it's still recognizable.

I then came to the conclusion that you cannot have a FUBAR'd SNAFU. Why, you may ask, it's quite simple. If something is FUBAR, by its very definition it's not recognizable.

However, a situation can just be at its standard and normal way of being, and be fucked up. Since the situation is still normal, and thereby recognizable, it cannot be FUBAR. Since it's still recognizable.

It's an interesting thing to think about when it comes down to it.

Bob, The Saga Begins when I was being a Cough Potato while watching Jerry Springer, The Brady Bunch, and Jurassic Park on Frank's 2000" TV, by Syndicated Inc., because I was too Fat to go to The Hardware Store and get Another Tattoo due to the need to have Another One Rides The Bus, Ricky. Also because I had some Lasagna, My Bolagna sandwich and I love Rocky Road. I decided to watch Skipper Dan from Forrest Gump but Since You've Been Gone I wanted to watch TMZ while waiting to hear your Ringtone so I could wish you a Happy Birthday, but Melanie You Don't Love Me Anymore. You said I'm So Sick Of You, You're Pitiful because I Want A New Duck. I just Wann B ur Lovr, but My Baby's In Love With Eddie Vedder. Which is why I was Callin' in Sick today. To keep myself occupied during the commercials I make Phony Calls. Do I Creep You Out?

I realized that I needed to check Ebay and Craigslist to let the sellers know that the Check's In The Mail for my auction, The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota. It's being shipped from Albequerque. I also ordered some Polkas on 45s too. I read an email titled Confessions Part III that said I'll Sue Ya Mr. Popeii because Everything You Know is Wrong and It's All About The Pentiums, why not Download This Song. I knew it was spam because I got a Virus Alert. It was taking so long I thought One More Minute. I noticed that I was hungry and since I'm Addicted to Spuds I ate. It's almost like Livin' In The Fridge.

Like a Surgeon does, Bob is Living With a Hernia. He used to be Such a Groovy Guy and the King of Suede, but now he has to sing the Bedrock Anthem, the Angry White Boy Polka, and as well an Ode To A Super Hero with Homer & Marge. It's A Complicated Song. He's gonna Party at the Leper Colony while attending the Circus Parade, I mean He's Pretty Fly for a Rabbi. Don't Forget He's White & Nerdy. It beats having a Party In The CIA though.

Dare To Be Stupid you Canadian Idiot, I Remember Larry, it was The Night that Santa Went Crazy. Man those were the Good Old Days. Now I've Gotta Boogie because it's a Dog Eat Dog World and I gotta go read Your Horoscope for Today because it's Weasel Stompin' Day.

Only the Good Die Young, with Scenes from an Italian restaurant, as told by the Angry Young Man who wished of Street Life Serenades, but only heard the Piano Man, The Entertainer, who was singing about an Uptown Girl. He does it All for Leyna, but Don't Ask Me Why he wondered about why We didn't start the Fire 2000 Years ago. Hey, we're all Running on Ice, and maybe it's time that we start Movin' Out to Allentown. Perhaps This is the Time that I'm just living in a River of Dreams, maybe I'll Tell Her About It. How I Loved These Days in Vienna, but It's Still Rock and Roll to me.

You know Sometime's A Fantasy about a Modern Woman named Laura, because She's Always on Time, is all we need to make sure we are Keeping the Faith, but Honesty is always the best Lullabye. Captain Jack, You May Be Right, Everybody has a Dream of living in a New York State of Mind where you can get Easy Money and be the Big Man on Mulberry Street, own Baby Grands while wearing a Root Beer Rag. Hey Girl, Miami 2017 That's Not Her Style, She's Always a Woman, a Modern Woman . Until Tonight it was the Downeaster Alexa in Leningrad.

I could use a Big Shot for A Hard Day's Night. Instead, I'll Cry over a Ballad of Billy The Kid, which was sung Back in The U.S.S.R. I'd like to Make You Feel My Love, but I'm not the Innocent Man that The Stranger claims. So let's Leave A Tender Moment Alone because it's Christmas in Fallujah. And So It Goes we need a Room of Our Own on 52nd Street. It's 4 O'Clock in the Morning and I'm All Shook Up after looking into Rosalinda's Eyes, which were Shades of Grey. Between Her and the Stilettos, She's Got A Way. But The Night is Still Young This Summer, Highland Falls is getting a Piano Bar Somewhere Along the Line. I don't like Surprises, but the Times They Are A Changin' and I'm not sure of the Great Wall of China and Mexican Connection.

There are my Famous Last Words, before I say Goodnight Saigon, I must say Goodbye to Hollywood, but do you know what James, It's My Life and I'm not going to take the Pressure For The Longest Time. Why, because Tomorrow is Today and we've Got to Begin Again because You're Only Human.
