There's nothing fundamentally 'wrong' or 'broken' with the OS X kernel. Don't believe the hype.
They are replacing the built in Airport with the iPhone 4 antenna wrapped around the Magic Mouse.
Death grip be damned!

Siri for OSX?
I feel like an optimist today, so here goes nothing.
I'm thinking maybe this ties together the purchase of Siri (lots of web protocols there right?) and hopefully ends up being a modernized version of the "Virtual Assistant" for OS X. No one has done anything like that (to my knowledge, I apologize in advance if I'm wrong) besides Apple's mockup video. IF they could create a voice/video controlled assistant that could fetch you information and handle mundane system tasks while you worked on other things it would be pretty revolutionary and magical. It makes sense to build something like this on the Mac first, then as you optimize it bring it down to iPad and iPhone.
So there's my non-doomsday theory on this "magical" & "revolutionary" new idea. Take from it what you will.

I think I know what it is, and it involves the startup sequence. That's all I can say about it.
A lot of negativity and cynicism in the comments.
[1] This probably isn't written by Apple PR, it's probably written by a product manager who is genuinely enthusiastic and passionate about the work they are doing.
[2] It won't be iOS integration, because a) the world's already seen it and b) this specifically mention HTTP and large scale web systems.

I certainly agree that this has something to do with the server farm, and maybe something to do with the way your Mac and my Mac might interact. There are many ways this might play out.
For instance, what if we all had a 'public' folder where we could just drop anything we felt like sharing with the world? What if there were an intelligent search engine devoted entirely to sorting and displaying those items?
The web isn't everything there is. There's all kinds of stuff out there that never makes it to a website.
Don't kill the messenger. That is what the rumor says. I think it makes some sense. There are only so many cats lol. Also making it all iOS would create a strong brand not just across Macs, but ALL Apple computers and devices. It would also invite people that own iDevices but not Macs to become more familiar with the computers etc. etc.
I happen to have a Leopard beta demo video made by Apple on my iMac, so I grabbed a screen of iChat in it

Since Cut & Paste has already been mentioned. How about "Print Selection"?
Mac OS is missing so many features that Windows have had for years and years I wonder what they can create that is truly "Revolutionary".
Sounds more like a ploy to me from keeping Mac users from jumping ship to Windows 7

Is just me or does it seem like Apple has used the word 'revolutionary' more times than Ernesto Guevara and Fidel Castro combined?
OS X becomes iOS X
A new multi-touch system, iMacgic
Comes complete with an "iSplint" for carpal tunnel
lol reminds me of the power glove.
It has already happened. Try using Mac OS X 10.6. I get alerts all the time that "Flash Player (plug-in) has crashed" but Safari keeps going.
OK people let's get serious here!
BUT ALSO & MAINLY perhaps the ENTIRE OS will be able to render HTML5 and web standards and not ONLY in the browser. In other words, you could have HTML5 apps running as if they are native apps right in the OS, no browser involved!!! NOW THAT would be VERY interesting and a HUGE threat to Microsoft and Google. It would be different than a cloud OS. It would be a hybrid of both and VERY powerful and versatile!!!
Could be spot on! Good thought.
Could energy settings "just work" out of the box? No, on my new unibody mac Mini I had to delete 2 power-settings files in different locations/restart and now it's working.
That's just AMAZING.
