Need a quick update on the stock market or a weather forecast for the day? Many helpful iOS apps have found their way to the Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) desktop and can be found in the system’s Notification Centre. If you have not used the Mac’s Notification Centre before, click the three-line icon in the upper-right corner of the menu bar to open it; those with modern Mac laptops can take a two-fingered swipe to the left from the right edge of the trackpad.
The Notifications Center is divided into two parts: Notifications and Today. As with earlier versions of OS X, the Notifications tab shows recent mail messages, social media posts and website updates. The newer Today tab offers several widgets that resemble the Stocks, Weather and Calculator apps for iOS. To rearrange the widgets or add new ones, click the Edit button at the bottom of the screen.
