<p>Mac OS X Lion includes more iOS style notifications on apps Dock icons. In this screenshot you can see them on the iChat app, showing how many unread messages are available.</p>

<p>There are a lot of neat features appearing in <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/mac-os-x-10-7/">Mac OS X 10.7 Lion</a> (at least in the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/02/24/mac-os-x-10-7-lion-developer-preview-download/">Developer Preview</a>), and although some people are decrying the iOS-ification of OS X, there are some features that are undeniably useful regardless of the platform. I really like the iOS style notifications and they work really well in Mac OS X as evidenced by the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/01/28/enable-growl-notifications-in-twitter-for-mac/">enabling the options in the official Twitter for Mac client</a>, so for me it’s great to see Apple adopt this with more apps.</p>

<p>Thanks to FB for the screenshot!</p>
