OS X Lion, the newest edition of Apple’s operating system for Mac desktops and laptops, will be released soon.

Lion is the latest update to Mac OS X which first came out in 2001.  It puts some features to the operating system that were inspired by the iPad, counting the LaunchPad, which provides one-click access to applications, and a more gesture-based control system.
