This sounds exciting! I sure hope they don't screw up multi tasking like they did with Lion/ML and Mission Control. If they could just make Spaces better somehow, that would rock. I'm not asking for it to be as awesome as Leopard, because I understand that OSs are meant to get worse with every release, just make it somewhat better!
Improvements to Finder are very welcome, maybe things like a unified window and sidebar size would be great, and some neat ways of being able to drag/drop between windows easier (it is currently very annoying to drag a file from one finder window on one space to another on another space, before you could just drag, zoom out into spaces, choose another space, and drop there, can't do that anymore).

I didn't say 10.8 made arbitrary cutoffs, I said in the past. Meaning OSX updates before 10.8.
Please do everyone a favour. Don't trust any computer.
And disable them. FOREVER
Apple should give us touch in OS X (Windows has it, Chrome will have it this year). I keep reaching to touch the screen of my Mac Book.
Apple should also give us true multitasking in iOS (the lack of it is becoming such a hassle, that my iPhone 5 will probably be my last iOS phone unless something gives).
Applying the iOS multitasking scheme (born in times past when phones did not last a full day and had too limited processing power) to OS X would be idiotic.
If app-pausing means that Apple decides what gets paused, as it does in iOS, it will probably the first time I ever consider jumping the OS X ship.

That's a bug fix, not a feature. The fact that it wasn't included from the get go was plain and simple stupidity on Apples part.
Are you serious? I don't want to touch my screen.
What can't you do on your iPhone because of the current multitasking? if the app you're using requires time to finish something it will have 10 minutes to do so,isn't that enough? or are you trying to render stuff on your iPhone?
I think this if done well will be good because for example housewives and kids and stuff like that they don't really care about closing things and this way they'll have optimized memory management and CPU management. I think all apps developed for OSX 10.9 should have the background API as obligatory and then in settings we'd have a menu for us to manage if an app would take advantage of the background API or if it would act like they do now,everybody would be happy,regular users and power-users.
I was gonna say he could have one tab open, selects his file, cuts, moves over to other tab, and paste it there, but...
In short...
In short, they are:
A) Fixing Safari bugs
B) Inserting TotalFinder
C) Inserting AppTamer
D) Sort of fixing Spaces
Did I miss anything?

iOS fixes
While you're adding Feature-bug fixes...
Add Cmd-R, Cmd-L, and Cmd-Tab to iOS
Add Ctrl 1-9 for App switching to iOS
Add vertical windows in OSX spaces
Make the dashboard into something, or get rid of it by default
Give the dashboard a simpler on-off setting, and save the ram
Allow full screen apps option to NOT HIDE the menu bar
And for goodness sakes, make an iCloud folder similar to Dropbox.

Completely false. All apps are still in memory, all their data is still in memory, and they don't have to be restarted when you switch back to them. Until the OS stops the app completely, in which case it is removed from memory, and when you switch back it is restarted and has to run all kinds of code to get back to the same state.
This is the one thing that stops me exclusively using Safari as my browser.
It is majorly irritating.
OS X uses some of the most advanced multi-tasking in the industry. It sounds like Apple wants to limit some of the pre-emptive multi-tasking capabilities to mimic how iOS does things. How is this a good thing? Multi-tasking on OS X already works just fine, why fix it when it ain't broken?
There are so many little things that I am used to doing on my old Google Nexus that I can't do on my iPhone 5, it's not funny.
I am sure everyone has their own apps they want running in the background sometimes, but in my case I run into iOS's limitations if I use an app like flashlight, or a training app, etc., and then I want to send a text, make a quick call, change a song or a podcast and so on.
It's an idiotic limitation and it is even more idiotic that Apple gets to decide which apps it will allow to run in the background (usually its own apps, plus a handful of third-party ones).
If WE (the users) had a choice to decide which apps can run in the background, you wouldn't be hearing so many complaints.
Consumers are a fickle bunch and iOS can go from being on top (and it has already lost that to Android) to struggling like BB in a matter of a year or two, if it doesn't keep up with the competition.
And as far as touch on OS X, I am sure there once were people who said that nobody needs touch on their phone, too.
Touch is available on Windows and it has brought some pretty innovative designs to the laptop world. Chrome is coming out with touch this year (if I were Apple, I'd actually worry about Chrome, because just like Android, it may come to bite in a year or two).
Nothing wrong with having multiple ways of doing things. I mean, you don't actually see two icons at once - the dock disappears when you enter Launchpad. So there's not really any confusion there. I use them both - I could live without Launchpad, but the dock is a must.
As much as people grain about that, Safari has indeed gotten snappier over the years. One has only needed to be a Mac user for a few years to realize just how far Safari has come over the last decade.
Yes! A rumor worth rooting for
Anything FINALLY mentioning an improved Finder is worth a thousand iPhone rumors...let's just hope Apple gets it act together Mac-wise.
New tabbed browsing and tags in Finder...
Nice. I heart OSX so. Go on Tim Cook with your bad self!
