“Lion is going to bring a lot of iOS back to the Mac. We’re going to see revamped user interfaces for Mail, iCal, borrowing from those icon metaphors and UI styles,” Alvares writes. “Everything is going to look much cleaner than before, much like QuickTime X did with its previous version (though I hope not at the cost of power and functionality). But where iOS segregates its functionality into ‘apps’, the Mac will feature a more integrated workflow of its different services. Imagine the Mail app featuring the Address Book and iCal interfaces in one single glorified window. The same addressbook showing up in iChat, ready for FaceTime.”
Alvares writes, “The thought of running iOS apps on a mouse/keyboard environment is sour at best, and Apple would never go for it. Those are touch based user interfaces, depending on a lot of functionality inherent on those devices, that would not work on any Mac as we know it. They just wouldn’t work. But what if Apple introduces a new way of writing Mac specific applications that are kind of like iOS apps?”

@Nomoremsbs We have already had a cougar os 10.1 was puma. And like most cougars its really throwing some makeup on something that is really nasty.
Cougar, puma, and mountain lions are all the same cat, After lion Jobs has run out of big cats except for the Cloud Leopard, I guess we have to look forward to MacOS Lynx or Bobcat, Maybe Maine Coon, they are pretty big too.

“A silly but possibly related question has Apple done anything with it’s new billion dollar server farm? Is it up and ready to go yet?”
Nope. Haven’t even broken ground yet.

I thought they’d be kicking 20 goals a game, what with a good (but ageing) midfield and 2 of the best forwards in the competition plying their trade for Brisbane.

I’m hoping takes a proactive approach and beefs up Mac OS X security. Full ASLR, DEP, a port of FreeBSD Jails, a port of the PF firewall, a port of FreeBSD Capsicum, the addition of security utilities like sshguard, some form of IDS, auditing etc… built in to OS X.
ZFS would be nice if the licensing issue gets resolved.
