Nooooooo! I just got a "15 MBP i7, like 4 weeks ago!!
I hope there's no major upgrades!!
It's always worth checking the Buyer's Guide before making a big purchase.

It's ok, it's not like your computer is all of sudden going to stop working.
"Clouded Leopard" is probably next, signifying the new cloud computing facility. It's also the coolest looking

You're right that is one very cool cat! I'd never heard of it before.
Next Wed
I'd be glad with a new, smaller MacBook Air.
My fantasy machine is now (thanks to some of your posts earlier in this thread!) a hybrid netbook/iPad Pro, with a flip screen. OS X when in netbook position. iOS when in tablet position. Flips over to close. It could happen -- and it works with the logo!
Too bad for my credit card either way.

I'm actually quite excited
I hope they enhance Expose to have the side by side feature from Windows 7.
Ick. I hate Expose and Dashboard, I wish there were a way to completely disable and remove them forever. At least an option for crying out loud.
You can disable Dashboard using Onyx (etc) or the terminal..
Not sure about Expose though.. Surely just not having any shortcuts for it would achieve the same? You're the first time I've seen someone hate exposé!
OS X + iOS -> OS XI (11). Or maybe OS Xi.
I think not, tho.
Will check into the hint about disabling dashboard. Hate expose because it happens so often accidentally, and never on purpose.
They really need to make a MacPad Air. Instant win. Might be a little heavy for the wimpies, but getting rid of the keyboard and part of the case will make it even lighter than the current laptop form.
Writing (or supposed to be) a report in Pages right now. Much prefer it over Word! I'd love an update!
Back to the Mac! Maybe a return to the type of computer Apple used to offer. Something for the home that offers some expandability without being too costly or too huge.
Mini Tower? Please! That would bring former users who have given up on Apple,
"Back to the Mac!"
It would let me replace my older Mac with a product I really want.
It would show that Apple listens to its customers.
Instead of Apple telling people what they want it would be Apple building what the customers have been asking for.

New notebooks?
I feel you on the pb12"... mine from 2003 still chugging. However... wtf, MacRumors? Was I just dreaming about Apple releasing new MBP and MB earlier this year? Has their hw update schedule quadrupled in speed? The Air was the only one not refreshed... and with that.... thing... Apple totally missed the point of netbook (low power, low cost).
Also, OS X 10.1 was Puma. Pumas are Cougars are Mountain Lions (and also Panthers, but Panthers can be other things too... but Cougars are always Pumas).

Whatever the preview of upcoming OS 10.7 or 11 Lion, whatever the iwork or ilife updates, whatever the Air actually gets, I just want Jobs to say "oh and one more thing" before revealing the Air.
I will be looking for a slightly smaller manilla envelope on his podium.

Scroll Bars
They're redoing the scroll bars in all native Apple software to behave much more like the scroll bars found on the iOS, I've only seen a brief glimpse, but the scroll bars disappear when they aren't in use and look a lot like the scroll bars found in iOS Safari.

Open CL 2.0? Now all we need are software companies to take advantage of our often stagnate GPU's.
Given their growth in Mac sales under Jobs, I'd say that Apple has a pretty fair idea about what people actually want.
The mini-tower isn't happening. Get a mini if you want headless, and a Mac Pro if you want to muck around with cards that Apple will never write drivers for.
Macbook Air
I really do hope that the MacBook Air is thrown into its grave next Wednesday, it had one USB which fit nothing cause of the round base, it was the least durable thing on this earth and it couldn't pull the skin of a rice pudding in performance either. I hope Back To The Mac is something such as back to making decent computers again such as the 12 inch PowerBook. Something that people want not what Apple think people want

Oh yeah, people want a 1.33 Ghz processor, 256 Mb Ram, and a 60 GB harddrive
Edit: it did have 2 USB ports though!
The cats would get smaller as OSX gets smaller and more efficient. So after Lion comes Lynx, then there will be Domesticat.
