Oh yeah… it’s FREEEEEE!

Airdrop:

  • Google Drive from Apple
  • Syncs across all Macs and iOS devices

There are several other updates that could raise some eyebrows, but these are the ones that we felt were going to make the biggest impact.  OSX Yosemite is going to be great and we will definitely be welcome to beta testing opportunities.  Oh yeah, we forgot to tell you that the beta is public.  Another reason why Apple never ceases to amaze.
