Now we know what Steve Jobs and Carol Bartz talked about at the dinner with President Obama. How about letting third parties add hooks to communicate with their own systems: cellphone SMS messages via bluetooth, IRC, and maybe even Chat Roulette.…

Front Row - I hope there is a better system-wide entertainment mode in development. Gosh knows, I loathe hitting Cmd-Escape and bringing up Front Row when I'm trying to hit Cmd-Tilde during a frantic work session, but there have been a few times whe…

This is a good start, but it could be so much more. There's a lot involved in migrating over to the Mac from a PC. Maybe it could scan the drive and hand off some of the details to third party authored plug-ins. For example, going from Quicken…

Great simplification of a confusing amount of information. Easy to find and basically matches the specs the user saw on the box or in the store before purchase. It's wonderful for the user and tech support workers everywhere! Nit #1: The battery …

I like the idea of what Mail 3.0 is trying to do: "have a single point of attention to watch and organize yourself". I just disagree that the email program should be that single point. When you receive a Fax it's saved to a folder, but to get you…

I like the functionality in the new Mail, but I think the next step Apple should take is to break it up. I think Mail is becoming your all-in-one Organizer. I like apps like this, and I use them now. But I think it'd be better for all if the Orga…

Jeremy Brown asked: "can you also switch spaces by pinning your mouse alone to the edge of the screen?" Already in Tiger, dragging your mouse to the desktop edges already has meanings. Start your screen saver, Unhide your dock, and probably som…

There's a simpler way to switch spaces. Just drag a window as you normally do. When you're dragging a window and hold your mouse pinned to the edge of the space/desktop, after a brief delay akin to the spring-loaded folder delay, the space will swit…

Wow! A major article about the evolution of the dock and no mention of At Ease or Simple Finder? Maybe that's for an upcoming article on new Parental Controls, but it's a major omission not to at least mention them (since that's really all they are:…
