They will kill 1Password with the new keychain in the cloud. I'm a total fan of 1Password and I dislike this a bit.

I would have preferred OS X Sea Lion.

I would have preferred Sea Lion too until the OSX 10.9 and after that they could have shifted to California spots etc

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".

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"

Note that the "10.9" part was extremely diminished in today's announcements. While those underlying version numbers may live in, I suspect they won't be using the numbers in public in future.

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.

Also, how can we forget the infamous and most hyped iWatch. I was so happy they didn't make it.

I am so happy to hear that OS X Mavericks will fix fullscreen apps across multiple displays!

1Password is going to be fine, it's still invaluable for people that want cross-platform synchronization and backup.

Hardly. Anyone who ever has to use a non Apple device - Windows desktop, Android phone, etc. - is going to still need a cross-platform solution like 1Password.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

I'd be more excited if they used fictitious navy pilot call signs, maverick, goose, iceman, merlin... Who's with me?

2. Forget about Terminal.app
