Notification Center will be very familiar to iOS users Clicking on the icon slides the OS X desktop over to the left to reveal Notification Center itself, which looks identical to iOS 5 - it even has the same linen texture. Notifications appear at the top right of the screen as banners that automatically slide away after five seconds or alerts that require some user interaction to disappear, and a new icon on the right side of the menu bar lights up blue when new notifications arrive. But look a little deeper and it's clear that Apple has a very different idea about how notifications should work - an idea that's unsurprisingly almost exactly how they work in iOS 5. Mac users have relied on the excellent open-source Growl notification system for years now, so the addition of Notifications Center to Mountain Lion seems a bit anticlimactic at first glance.
