So everyone likes to make their predictions for the upcoming products, and while the iPhone has been in the news lately and it’s all the buzz; but I’m getting antsy waiting for the future of OS X and I honestly can’t wait for Leopard to come out. So what better way to soothe my patience than make my own predictions regarding the elusive Mac OS X Leopard operating system. So here goes nothing…

1. The interface is to be completely trashed. Forget the Dock, forget the Finder bar. Everything you know about Tiger will be eliminated in Leopard. Apple is going to pull a swift one on everyone and switch to a 3D interface that with the combination of advanced touch screen and proximity technology will allow you to virtually pull into the desktop and pull windows around. The application window will no longer be viewed as a 2D square. Instead, each window will be more like a cube that has 6 sides each with accessible interfaces. Although this seems like just a transitional effect between windows, the idea is to position windows or “objects” (as they’re to be called) in a 3-Dimensional interface that will soon allow you to access your “spaces” by jumping “deeper” into the screen.

2. Artificial Intelligence. Forget remembering settings and passwords. The new Leopard will contain Apple’s most innovative technology yet, a complete AI Engine. Imagine driving home from work with your MacBook and having your computer KNOW if you’re lost just based on the fact you don’t usually go this way home. Apple intends to turn your computer into your personal butler. Want to remember your todo’s and important dates? Forget writing them down, using advanced technologies, Leopard will be able to read your mind and know exactly what you want it to know. Accidental mouse clicks? Never again. Typos? Nope. The Apple computers will become the most intuitive and brilliant machines on the planet after Leopard is released. Now, your computer will just know what you want to do.

3. Time Machine is backup? Hah! Forget what you saw at the developer conference, Apple isn’t about to release a simple backup utility. The “Top-Secret” stuff that Apple has planned for Leopard isn’t what you thought. Starting with the release of Leopard you’ll be able to dive into your operating system and PHYSICALLY TRANSPORT yourself to the time and place where you were working on that document that you couldn’t find. Want to kick Bob in the shins for stealing your stapler while you’re recovering your document? Go ahead. In order to prevent any problems with the space time continuum, Leopard merely creates an additional instance the past for your journey back so you don’t screw with the basics of history!

4. New human interface devices….real human interface devices. Forget this whole keyboard and mouse crap. If you want to type out that ridiculously large document, just think it…boom, done. 100 WPM? How about infinity? If you can think fast enough, Leopard can type it. Programmers…welcome to the new age of development. Just go through the pseudo code in your head and Apple will figure the rest out for you. No more syntax to remember, no more code formatting. TextMate, we’re sorry…maybe there’s a market for you on Windows Vista. :)

5. iChat is new. Very new. Imagine chatting with your friends in real-time, face to face….hand to hand. That’s right, the new Leopard includes some holographic imaging support to provide a projection of your friends right next to you. Just think, you can sit and chat over coffee in New York with your mom who’s in Arizona.

And there you have it, the future of the computing world as we know it is about to change…drastically.

By the way, just in case you didn’t know…this was a bit of satire. I figured it’d be nice to shake up the rumor pool a bit….maybe I went overboard?
