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 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.

#24Everything 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.

Yes, 256 bit AES.
It's unknown how many of those bits the NSA knows already.

#26Any 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".

#27I really really hope, they improved the dog slow of Terminal.app

#28Are 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.
