I'm pretty pleased with some of the "little things" Apple polished up in OS X Mountain Lion. For example, when you put your mouse over a scrollbar, it gets bigger and easier to click.

More things:

  • When you use dictation, ML actually shuts down the fans to hear you better. (via @waly_k)
  • AirPlay menu bar item only appears when AppleTV is on your Wi-Fi network.
  • No more accidentally trashing dock icons — you now have to drag an icon a bit away from the dock to trash it
  • When copying files, a progress bar appears on the actual file.
  • Three-finger tap to Quick Look a file, just like with Define. Kinda makes sense!
