Buzz Out Loud Lounge forum: One for the Mac Lovers... WWDC Hopes

I'd like to see the return of the Newton, with all of the latest bells and whistles. I've always liked them.

Yeah, it's a pipe dream, but it would still be awesome to see it return.

Here's what I want:
Mac Pro
iTunes Movie Store ($2.99 rentals for 5 days, unlimited views)
THE iPod Video
DVR functioinality added to Front Row
Leopard to be amazing

I'm really looking forward to the new OS, and the features apple has been working on for the last two years.

- I'm hoping that Quartz 2D Extreme will be released, and speed up 2D a little bit more.

- I'm hoping that Spotlight will be enhanced to make it smarter, with better queries, maybe with ThunderBird support.

- otherwise, I'm hoping that Mail will properly support IMAP folders

- I'm hoping that Terminal will be enhanced to support mouse support in xterm emulation, so I can click in vim and use the scroll nubbin to move around documents I'm editing

- I'm hoping that bookmarks will work better in Safari

- I'm hoping that toolkits will be released to make developing for dashboard easier

- I'm hoping that windows can be made semi transparent while working, so I can easily see "under" it if the other window is in a different application.

- I'd like to see the Intel lineup to be completed, with a replacement for the PowerMac.

Oh, and one more thing... I'd like to see a True Video iPod, although I don't think WWDC is the place for this.

i want free new macs of your choice for everyone. hey theres a way to get more market share and with them updateing the macs ever few months well the people will just have to buy new ones.

I tent to read the live reports on engadget and watch it later as apple puts the video up later (most of the time).
