Even though iOS has seemingly been turned inside out over the past few years, there are still a few easter eggs hidden in the software. Earlier this month we told you about the invisible buttons on the iPad's split keyboard, and now we've come across another little-known feature.

OS X Mountain Lion borrows heavily from iOS
Today Apple took the wraps off of OS X Mountain Lion (I know, we should have saw that one coming) and continuing with the movement started with its predecessor, OS X Lion, it borrows heavily from iOS.
In fact, you could say that OS X Lion's iOS implants were rather mild compared to what Mountain Lion plans to offer. Apple is obviously serious about completely combining the best elements of iOS directly into its desktop operating system, and no where is this more evident than with Mountain Lion.
