Sexy. (read from TOP to BOTTOM)
EDIT by FFL - now with proper chronology! giving preview of Leopard today 10:29 am we're working on Leopard 10:29 am what we can't show: 10:29 am top secret features not being shown, just not letting you know what they are. 10:30 am don't want photocopiers started too early 10:30 am major things in leopard demo: 10:30 am 1) support for 64 bit applications 10:30 am previously at unix layer 10:31 am in leopard - giant leap forward - extend support all the way through UI framework into applications 10:31 am have a fully native 64 bit UI carbon app 10:31 am did in a completely 32 bit compatible way full support, top to bottom 10:31 am can run 32 bit apps side by side with 64 bit - no emulation, no translation 10:32 am 2) Time machine 10:32 am how to combat loss of information on hard drives - backups 10:32 am we all know we should, but lots of people don't 10:33 am only 26% of users back up in any way whatsoever not really secure 10:33 am dig a little deeper - most that say they are are manually dragging files & folders into another drive only 4% 10:33 am how many use automated software to stay always backed up? Time Machine 10:34 am plan to change all of that then you can restore everything photos, music, documents, files folder, everything you change a file, it automatically backs up 10:34 am automatically backs up mac 10:34 am can be right where you were when the HD drive 10:35 am can restore everything, or just one file at a time 10:35 am backup to HD, or server 10:35 am coolest part - and reason we call it that - whole new way of backing up files 10:35 am ever had time where you work on a doc and you do a save as and overwrote the wrong one? important stuff 10:36 am finder windows 10:37 am with time machine, you can get those files back by entering a date or time 10:37 am instantly back 10:37 am finder windows move through timeline on the side of the machine through time - very cool to watch 10:37 am visual representation of moving through time 10:38 am timeline on right-hand side 10:38 am can go back a day - or two days 10:38 am finder windows "warping" forward 10:38 am devs are impressed 10:39 am file previews without going through full restore 10:39 am desktop "warps" back to place in time 10:39 am it is that easy to go back in time and restore what you want to restore 10:39 am great for finder - but can work with 3rd party apps as well 10:40 am can search for documents in the past 10:40 am series of windows receeding into the distance 10:40 am works in iPhoto 10:40 am can find entire roll of deleted photos back in time 10:41 am moved to backup system 10:41 am iphoto demo of rolling to the past 10:41 am jumped right to photos 10:42 am absolutely the best way to back up everything you have, store everything, and find what you need that you thought you didn't some really cool beta software now 10:42 am 3) deliver complete package boot camp will be included 10:42 am shipping all as part of leopard 10:43 am reaction to boot camp has been good will ship as part of leopard 10:43 am 1/2 million downloads 10:43 am front row -

instantly search for any file by all sorts of things 10:48 am enabling spotlight to search OTHER machines if you have permissions and search workgroup servers at the office 10:48 am if at home with several macs, you can search them all 10:48 am advanced search - lots of feedback from devs 10:49 am specify file type and other dev requests will be added in leopard 10:49 am making it a great app launcher 10:49 am adding recent items to spotlight 10:49 am prepopulated with recent stuff you've been doing 10:49 am what you're looking for is often right there without doing a search 10:49 am 6) more animations sorry 10:50 am "CORE animation" 10:50 am allows you to dramatically increase the production value of your applications 10:50 am time machine built on core animation 10:50 am thousands of layers - text, images, video, openGL, almost anything 10:50 am start space, goal space, & keyframes 10:51 am core animation handles everything in between - color, size, opacity, all kinds of things icon for it is same as other core items, but purple 10:51 am demo albums of photos, videos - just scratching the surface 10:52 am very easy to work in - move items around on their own layers 10:52 am demo is a screen saver 10:52 am all you have to do is specify a start and an end, and it figures everything out automatically 10:52 am zoom, fly camera around where you want 10:53 am written in half the lines of a typical screen saver to produce better results 10:53 am lots of power to easily add rich interactivity to your apps 10:53 am OS X is great -

voiceover speeds up flawlessly 10:57 am still clean, understandable. 10:57 am next up: the big one 10:58 am major enhancements - mail to-do's added notes added stationary added 10:58 am really great things - new creative things photos, email - would be great to apply stationary and have it look incredible in mail - industry standard html email 10:58 am stationary: 10:59 am can send like that to anyone and will look like this on the other end including lots of templates 10:59 am "boom" and send it out used to send email to myself to make notes of things to take care of -

"Spaces" is the best idea I have heard of in a long time..
I often make partitions to keep my Dev work away from my Web work, and then another for Games and messing around, then yet another for Video.. Being able to split my machine up a la "Spaces" is da bomb!

I have no use for virtual desktops, but at least Spotlight will be better.

I used virtual desktops while I ran linux and I really liked it. Although F9 has greatly reduced the need for it, it would be nice to stick mail/netnewswire on one desktop, safari/adium on another and a blank one for warcrafting/photoshopping/pages/etc.
E: 'Advanced boolean search' from AI.com! yay! one thing in spotlight I really wanted. |

Why are they still wasting time on Mail?
Google has mail pretty much covered now. Why fill up your HD with mail - when you can just leave it on Google's Servers. |

The engadget page was spammed with anti-apple comments.
Well, I look forward to buying a new tower next summer, since I'm going to wait. As for the Leopard preview, well, I think you know how I feel. (Oh, and they corrected the lower end Mac Pro specs, see Mac Pro thread) ウォーレン | こんにちは, bitches! |

New iChat toys, Time Machine outdoing every backup utility I've heard of so far, ability for even ME to develop Widgets (hell yeah), drag & drop between desktops, some neat-sounding UI development stuff that I barely understand...
Whatever, you sourpusses. I like what I've read; I'll be watching the keynote after it gets posted. |

iChat looks awesome. It might even make me switch over from Adium.
The screen sharing feature is amazing. It's like remote desktop, but witin iChat. I can't wait to get this next version of OS X Edit: WindowsRookie: anyway you could set that as a link instead of having to scroll all the way through that? |

I did notice iChat didn't have brushed metal, but Safar still seems to.
Maybe the top secret is a new UI? Or more features? Or both? And didn't Jobs say more announcements all through the week? ウォーレン | こんにちは, bitches! |

Look closely at the buddy list in Apple's website, too -- there's a username with a little Airport-like symbol next to it. Would that be a local, direct computer-to-computer chat? |

Seriously, though. Apple's not going to reveal any mind-blowing features nearly a year in advance. We'll see more of it at MWSF. I'm crossing my fingers for resolution independence, and a new Finder, just so everyone will shut up about it. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |
