Apple , the creator of both the Macintosh OS, running on all Mac computers, as well as the more popular iOS , that runs on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, has announced yet another update to the Mac OS that will bring both of those platforms closer together. Until July 2011, the Mac and iOS platforms were completely separate. They had no similar user interface features, the underlying operating system was completely different, and the Apple-made apps were different from Mac to iOS.

This year's event was sold out in less than ten hours, and tickets weren't cheap either, so we'll see what they paid to see. Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO (Currently on medical leave), with the help of some fellow Apple employees, announced three new products/services, and showed off one more, that had already been announced.
