Core Animation + Time Machine makes me wonder if Apple really does have something new under the hood for Leopard that is really big. Throughout the entire Apple's Leopard CA Demo I kept getting this weird vibe as if what we are seeing there is something that was channeling the next generation of piles. Yes I know that its simply a demo but considering the 3D interface that they threw into TM it feels like Apple is starting to work in 3 dimensions now with their OS. Which makes a lot of sense when you consider that with meta data there is MUCH more relevant ways of looking at data now a days then simply file name and data type in a linier method like Windows file Explorer or Finder. I just thought that animation was interesting when you look at in from the context of Apple really doing one of the first real 3D implementations in their OS with Core Animation in Time Machine. (Fast User switching doesn’t count since its just an effect. It doesn’t really add anything to the OS.) Or maybe its because its 4AM and I should be asleep but I still have 22 minutes left on my batt. *passes out*
