I 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"

It is pretty slow.

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 .

Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

I mean, you could tell us WHY you think it's a bad idea.

Informing us of that you'll leave OS X? We could not care less.

Are Goose and Iceman the next releases? Sea Lion was 100x better And Keychain stored in iCloud, yeah, nice try there Apple. Finally - the new MacPro looks like a roll of toilet paper encased in glossy plastic. What is that thing.

The new Mac Pro looks like the part of a vacuum cleaner that stores the dust. It's going to take a while for it to grow on me, if that ever happens.

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

How was it ever possible that this was broken in the first place ? Incredible. Stupefying.

My understanding is that the API presented control of all desktops to one application. An app could address displays individually and make full use of it.

Clearly that wasn't the right approach, but it wasn't as blatantly broken as everyone makes it out to be.

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

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.

Maybe this will be the kick up Agilebits' ass to fix their Windows and Android apps, and perhaps even deliver a Windows Phone app as well. The Android 1Password app in particular is embarrassing.

Most users don't use multiple displays. For the vast majority of users, nothing was broken. Also, the multiple-menubar thing illustrates that it's not exactly a simple or uncomplicated fix following the introduction of fullscreen app support.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The cat name is retired - They moved to California locations. This is named after: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mavericks_%28location%29

I wouldn't be surprised if the name actually came up when they were (maybe jokingly, maybe not) thinking of naming it Sea Lion.

A cat fish!

It looks like the center is a separate zone entirely, so that the heat sink could gather dust, but there is little air flow over the actual components themselves. In other words you might be able to pull a Swiffer pad through the center fins, where you'd risk damaging things if you did that over a circuit board directly.
