Gear Live highlighted that offline reading list option, which can be argued as the Safari bookmarking feature, but that's not the point. The point is is that it syncs saved articles across all devices, like iPhoto. Gear Live also noticed that a warning screen in Safari on OS X Mountain Lion indicated that articles saved to Reading List are still readable even when the user's Mac is not connected to the Internet. Which in my opinion is pretty neat!
"While troubleshooting a home network issue today, I stumbled upon a new feature that Apple is introducing in OS X Mountain Lion.
When you aren't connected to a network and pull up Safari, you get a message that tells you that you aren't connected to the Internet, but that your "Reading List articles are available for viewing while you are offline."
9to5Mac reports that a keyboard shortcut listing the latest build of OS X Mountain Lion Suggests that built-in dictation capabilities will be coming to the Mac as well. Such capabilities debuted as part of Siri on the iPhone 4S, with only dictation portion making its way into the third-generation iPad released earlier this year.
"According to a resources file inside of the latest build of Safari in the newest seed of the upcoming OS X Mountain Lion, Dictation might be making its way to Macs next. Since Macs do not sport virtual keyboards or physical keyboards with a microphone-labled key, users (by default) will apparently need to simultaneously click both command keys to start voice input."
At the moment there is no other evidence of dictation or other Siri-like features yet. Or they have not been discovered in OS X Mountain Lion yet. But Apple is continuing to work on the next generation operating system and will probably be previewed at next month's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco.
