Could someone please buy one of these small RC-Helicopters, attach a mobilephone to it, start recording, fly by all the windows of this building and then post the video to youtube?

The truth is out there now
Everything seems to be ok. Expand your universe... uhmmm
No attacks against Redmond so far. However, Some banners can be offensive to "creationists." Do they have PC's? Are Apple trying to switch them? Are we going to be able to communicate with other intelligent life forms? Are these entities living with us? so many questions...

Come on folks, let's be realistic here. Sure, we can dream about what the X over the Sun logo is supposed to represent. I think it's symbolic of a technology sharing deal between Apple and Sun, much like what Apple and Cisco agreed to regarding the iPhone trademark. What will such a deal mean for us Mac users?
- We'll see the benefits of other stuff besides ZFS and Java that came from Sun's labs
- The technologies we have now that we owe Sun for will be continually improved
- Sun can help Apple test new stuff for Mac users
Coverflow
I'd like to see Coverflow-like options in the Finder (or whatever takes its place). If you are looking for an image or document that you know more by sight than by name or text content, this would be a great option.
I know you can already preview items or view them as thumbnails, but many items on my Mac offer up "Preview not available". Besides, I'd like the option of just zipping through them.

My silly out of left field prediction
What if the one-more-thing is an announcement that Apple is buying Sun? That might at last help them get a viable enterprise presence with the installed base, and could, as noted, provide quite a few interesting technologies (well-tested kernel, ZFS, mature lights-out-management, enterprise app support, etc.). What if you could run OS X as the GUI on a Sun box?

Yup, all this and wouldn't it be great if they included Peakstream (which Google just purchased) into Leopard as well?
MacMac ... = Mac X Mac = Mac Squared...
OMFGZZZ!!!!1!!1!! It's a flat panel Cube, a 3D object in 2D space, now that's hardware!
The Leopard banners look awsome. Looks like Leopard is going to have a new GUI, something different than Aqua.
I'm very interested to find out more about Leopard. I'm a little concerned it will make me even less patient for October
what's in october?
I agree Sun's implementation is hideously ugly, but Apple has already incorporated many of these ideas (taken from outside the company) into its products. See: Coverflow. See: Widgets (flip em around and prefs are on the back). I think it makes sense Apple will find an elegant way of extending this to the desktop for apps that choose to take advantage of it.
Oh yeah, and could "Expand your universe" have something to do with developers being able to deploy their apps on more platforms? Say iPhone for one (obvious), but also the possibility of some kind of Yellow Box (that what it was called? ow my aging memory) for Windows? it could also apply to a new tablet-style Mac, but introducing that at this time could really confuse consumers.

QuickTime on Windows used to contain a very large subset of the Mac APIs. could it still? it's on millions of Windows PCs included with every copy of iTunes. developers would *love* to be able to deploy their apps more widely than just the Mac platform...and grow the Mac platform at the same time by showcasing on other platforms what the Mac is capable of.
Well maybe use some of the concepts, but not Looking Glass itself. As previously mentioned, that thing runs on Java, which we don't want as a Core part of OS X.
The Def Leppard song "Rocket" was a tribute to music listened to in the past.
Therefore, I'm sure the whole Leopard rocket universe theme is tied in to Time Machine.

Err.. Java already IS a core part of Mac OS X (note the lowercase "c"). It certainly doesn't deserve "Core" status (like Core Image, Core Audio, etc.), though.
If they replaced Mach with Solaris' kernal, wouldn't they have to make some changes to the API's? I can't imagine that the kernals are inter-changable.
I can see it now, Apple telling all their developers, who have just finished porting to Intel: "Good news, we have a great new kernal, now get out there and recompile your apps. In some cases it's just checking a box before compiling, others will require some more work, and some will require a massive re-write."
If Apple was going to change kernals I would think they would have done it with the processor change. Can you imagine what Adobe's reaction would be to this little bomb shell at WWDC
I want to see a new UI with "space" as a sort of underlying theme. After all, "Spaces" refers to the virtual desktops, Time Machine has a space sort of background, and the rumored Illuminous theme uses a lot of black (as does quickview and the fullscreen interfaces for iPhoto and iTunes). They might as well just call the interface "space." Maybe the new iMac can look like an astronaut helmet. Maybe I've gone too far.
Apple makes some pretty good decisions about their interfaces, so if they have something radically different then I'll probably be pre-ordering Leopard.

the universe and you
I don't know if the universe is. I am expanding myself by eating too much lasagna.
Ultimately, apple's ads make reference to YOU. Not the universe, your universe.
I wish i could expand my $.
