Funny thing about the iMac I have, you can't turn off the embedded monitor and just run an external monitor. It seems the new multiple monitor situation doesn't have any call outs for the iMac or anything sensible. I actually think they prevent this specifically in the sense that I should just want a Mac Mini or Apple TV and shouldn't doubt the ability to buy a way out of the problem.

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.
So let's see... in Firefox I have FIVE apple logins saved, because they can't decide on which url to use:
* appleid.apple.com
* daw.apple.com
* id.apple.com
* secure1.store.apple.com
* secure2.store.apple.com
If they have trouble getting something as simple as that right, I'd like them to stay away from my keychain.

I would have preferred Hello Kitty

#44Any 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".
I've always thought 10.9 would be the last, before they go to 11.0
I just don't think Apple marketing would go for "Ten point ten" or "eks point eks" or even "eks point 10"

#46I really really hope, they improved the dog slow of Terminal.app
In what ways is it slow for you?
Personally, the only issue I had with it was opening a new tab/window/shell being somewhat slow. Fixed with "touch ~/.hushlogin"

#48Store 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 .
Lots of people are already doing this with 1Password either in iCloud or on Dropbox. As long as it's encrypted with the appropriate algorithms, what's the issue?
Yes or https://lastpass.com/ encrypted and free. Works wonders.

I'm kind of surprised and amused that Ubuntu chose the name of a NBA expansion team (1980): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_Mavericks
I'm kind of surprised and amused that a Roast Beef Sandwich restaurant in Minnesota chose a name that refers to a cow that has escaped from a ranch and lived out its days stringy and free from the slaughterhouse.

I'm kind of surprised and amused that the NBA expansion team chose the name of a surfing location in Northern California (1961): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mavericks_(location) ;)
If the next releases are all California surf spots, I'm all for it.
