You can do that on Windows. The ad says something that has never been done before. I assume anywhere, by anyone.

A Rhetorical Question
Yeah. Don't they have someone they can get from within the company to work on this? Then, they could hire someone to replace that guy or gal.
Some thoughts.
It may be cloud computing, but I'll think that they'll present it differently than usual.
I can see Steve now.
"Before we released iPad many of you thought that it would be a touch enabled Mac, well now it is"
Clapping.
"But it doesn't stop there. Your iPhone is a fully powered Mac computer."
More clapping
"Your netbook is now a fully powered mac and your PC is now a Mac"
"$300 a year"
If this happened Mac OS market share would shoot through the roof, but Apple may stop making hardware.
It would use Apple's new data center.
Or it could just be an update to grand central dispatch to use some processor muscle from their data center.

Doesn't handle all of the Plist, Cache files, and other random files left by installers.
Apple is going to form a new project team and this ad is to find the lead software engineer. They are going to team him or her with 99 of their most brilliant engineers and give them 1 year to figure out how to finally let us resize Mac OS X windows from all four sides and all four corners!
re: Revolutionary / Foundations / HTTP
Could be a new protocol implemented over HTTP (web workers protocol is an example of that).
Could be related to distributed computing.
Could be related to "cloud" storage and synchronization.
Could be something completely different

LOL oh my god you are so right... I can't believe OS X still can't do that...
No one on staff?
What always surprises me about these job postings is that Apple doesn't already have on staff someone qualified to do what they are looking for? I mean, aren't they getting some of the best and brightest talent out there? Wouldn't stand to reason that someone who has already been there a number of years working on Mac OS wouldn't be the most qualified to the head of some division?

How about when I install something, it doesn't leave a .dmg thing on my desktop that I don't know if I need to delete or stick in the hard drive thing.
The last thing I want to see is the latest and greatest stupid Game App when browsing my documents or typing a paper.
giz had an article hinting at this today...
giz had an interesting article about the future of osx, or lack thereof as we know it..

That would never happen. Like ever. Apple is a hardware company that makes software to sell their hardware. They will never be a software company. They only do software that will enhance the experience of their own hardware.
$300 a year almost pure profit with no distribution costs. Sounds right up Apple's ally to me.

Only the last one would be 'truly amazing' to millions of Mac users.
Which means whatever it is, it will work with existing hardware and setups just wih an OSX upgrade. So no touch interface or mac~me purchases etc etc.
Simply just getting bored. I want some new features, something new thats interesting.
Maybe I just need iWork to come through the bloody post already.

Just received my new macbook pro 15", way too expensive, but oh so cool, best laptop EVER! (even the keyboard in the dark is amazing!)
