Store my keychain on the iCloud, eh? Is this going to be the default behaviour now? If so, I guess I'm abandoning Apple faster than I thought I would, a day or so ago .
This is just them doing a 1Password.
I'm glad they are _finally_ solving the multiple desktop issue, its definitely the most frustrating aspect of OSX. Also, loved how it worked with AppleTV.
*disclaimer: I'm a former employee of AirSquirrels the maker of AirParrot. I have no real interest in making them money other than I have some friends that still work there. :)
I'm kind of surprised and amused that they chose the name of an old Ubuntu release (October 2010): http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/maverick/
(Things called maverick which are not operating systems are irrelevant for that!)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm not a Mac user, but isn't the keychain encrypted?
Yes, the keychain is encrypted with your OS X user login password and only unlocked on login. I imagine this will still be the case as Apple mentioned AES256 encryption on their iCloud Keychain slide, though they could change it to use your Apple ID password if they plan on having mobile device support.
The "login" keychain is encry..... (the rest of your sentence).
You can have many more keychains, and they can have far more sophisticated passphrases. I have an "Internet Identities" keychain (for iCloud, Gmail, Dropbox, VPSs, Github, ...) that has a very long passphrase and is not unlocked at the login, nor it stays open after you enter the password (so, if Safari asks for the password and I enter it, the keychain doesn't just stay "open" for all apps to feast upon).

I would have preferred OS X Sea Lion.
Can't wait for "yosemite"

Any guesses as to when Apple will drop the "X" from "OS X"? The name "OS Ten" is getting a little long in the tooth. I hear people pronouncing it "OS Ecks" more frequently these days. At the code level, I assume we will live with the 10.x version numbers forever, like Solaris 11 is also "SunOS 5.11".
My baseless speculation is that they will dial iOS up to version ten and merge the OSes at iOS X.

I wouldn't dare use it if I was on another machine I hope (I have a mix) and not have access to my passwords. If it's Mac-only, that's going to be a problem.

Everything announced so far was well within rumors and speculation. What was John Gruber talking about?
We all knew a UI refresh was coming, but most of the iOS7 interface concepts were unexpected. Same with trashcan Mac Pro and 12hr Air: we knew there'd be refreshes, but the details were surprising. Also, while there's not much glitz to 10.9, the list of iterative improvements is extremely promising, assuming it delivers.
We've known about the OpenGL 4 in OS X and the AMD graphics cards in the new Mac Pro for a while.
