tendrils

Chinese translation: 像藤蔓一样蔓延到形形色色的设备中(悄然应用到形形色色的设备中)

Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / Windows 8
English term or phrase: tendrils
3The cloud takes things one step further.
Both Lion and Windows 8 have ***tendrils that snake into your assorted devices***. But while Apple’s iCloud ensures that your media and photos populate across all your gadgets, Windows 8 makes your personalized interface available everywhere—from apps down to the particulars　of your tile layout. Perpetually connected devices make it all possible,　and it’s a bold approach that will shake up how you interact with your tech.
3. 云让操作系统更进了一步。
Lion和Windows 8都能与你形形色色的设备牵上联系。不过，苹果的iCloud确保你的媒体和照片可以散布在你的所有设备上，而Windows 8使你的个性化界面无所不在——从应用程序直到平铺窗格布局的细节，无不如此。永远联网的设备让这一切成了可能，这个大胆举措会彻底改变你与技术设备进行交互的方式。
应该比喻cloud services或cloud features。但不知如何表述比较好。

Chinese translation:像藤蔓一样蔓延到形形色色的设备中(悄然应用到形形色色的设备中)
Explanation:
Lion 和 Windows 8 拥有的许多功能像藤蔓一样蔓延到形形色色的设备中

如Jarv所说，是个比喻。通俗点就是说 Lion 和 Windows 8 拥有的很多功能都慢慢地应用到许多设备中。

我的译法是既把tendril直译出来，又体现它的喻体（功能），并且更贴切地译出snake这一隐含比喻意义的动词。旨在体现直译和音译相结合。

如果您认为此译法有点过，亦可直白一点：“（功能）悄然应用到形形色色的设备中”

从后文看，我觉得本体理解为“功能”更好。
