For the indecisive, Ars Premier subscribers can toggle a single-page option. This is a double-edged sword: it’s tedious to click through to each new page as you read, but the thoughtfully placed page breaks also provide useful stopping points and topical divisions. Like Siracusa’s previous reviews, Ars Technica split the 10.8 review into 24 pages. This is not a quick read, so it’s a good opportunity to try a read-later method such as Safari’s Reading List, which Apple invented completely on their own. The 10.8 review maintains Siracusa’s standard at approximately 26,000 words, an impressive feat given that the interval between 10.7 and 10.8 was much shorter than most previous OS X update intervals. Siracusa’s review lengths have remained mostly consistent over the years. While this prospect is a treat for geeks, it may drive John Siracusa into an early, stress-induced retirement. With Apple now targeting an annual release cycle for OS X, we might now also expect annual Siracusa reviews. It’s only been about a year since the last review’s release, an uncharacteristically short interval. The time has finally come: today, Ars Technica released John Siracusa’s review of the newest version of OS X. A programmer, writer, podcaster, geek, and coffee enthusiast.Ībout The Review of John Siracusa’s Review of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
