Interesting questions. My guess is that for the most part it'll work like Safari, just require more user input to zoom in to make sure things like pull-down menus and the like are readable -- and of course more scrolling. It seems extremely li…

Hmmm. If true, I sense an upcoming tie-in here with Apple laptops and European/next-generation U.S. iPhones (which will very likely employ 3G by way of HSDPA): one service for all your mobile devices, built-in. WiMax sounds nice, but it has to …

Yeah, a 2.5lb 13" ultraslim MacBook Thin at $1700+ would sell like hotcakes.

Really? I understand no LED-backlit screens right away for the MacBook (they're still pricey) but no GMA X3100? If not, why not? That's the one upgrade the MB really could use.

It doesn't really make sense. The idea isn't thought-through in the slightest. He's looking for something big (and Leopard *will* offer something big) but the end of overlapping windows ain't it. I *do* hope that Apple will offer a Full Scre…

I could see this for a future nano (xmas '08 perhaps), where space is at a premium. It's a bit odd, though. It seems to raise as many questions as problems it solves. At first I thought the way to think about this was not *replacing* a touchs…

Last December? Seems like it's from around 1999. Honestly, I don't see this particular idea as very promising. Seems messy, confusing, and awkward. I don't want a folder to be absolutely enormous just because it, say, contains 100 or even 500 …

I think the iPhone UI, iTunes 7, and the Unified UI all offer clues w/r/t Leopard. In terms of the new theme, I think we'll see the complete end of pinstripes, a lot more silverish gray-blue, and more minimal UI elements (Safari-style) all around…

The "M" part of WIMP isn't going away anytime soon. Multi-touch works much better for small screens than for large screens (no question). If Apple does introduce gestural/multitouch features to Leopard and new Macs, it will be supplemental and…

Speak of the devil. Just saw this 20 minutes after I posted. I'm becoming increasingly convinced that there's a good chance Apple is about to introduce multi-touch in Leopard... and even possibly *without* a touch-sensitive screen.
