Apple Messes With Your Past

Apple has released a sneak preview of the new OS X, entitled "Leopard." The main selling point of this new operating system is Time Machine, an application with the ability to go back in time to restore any document you should happen to delete.

Which leads me to think, why would you need to ever delete anything again if you know it's all still available on your computer? And is it just me, or wouldn't this application take up a ton of space on your computer? Also, with Time Machine installed, you could never get rid of your Mac, 'cause whoever got their hands on it next would have no trouble restoring all the files you deleted.

Granted, it looks really cool, but I definitely get the feeling Apple's just whipped this up to get folks interested in a new OS X. It's not nearly as cool, or as useful, as the past OS X selling points, like Exposé and Dashboard. As a matter of fact, it looks like Apple's gonna be messing around with the Exposé format by creating Pages. It looks pretty pointless, though I guess it would make it easy to switch from Microsoft Word when the boss is watching to iTunes when the boss has left.
