So my MacBook Pro is in the United States right now, in Memphis, TN.

I'm so excited, i'm furiously masturbating with one hand while writing this with the other. And of course, I'm watching MacBook Pro unboxings, reviews, etc. on YouTube.

Watching all these videos, I'm reminded how much I love OS X. It may not be your cup of tea, but if you like Windows 7's taskbar, keep in mind it's fundamentally just a Dock lite. This'll be my first time using Snow Leopard, but it's not too different from plain old Leopard.

I'm greatly looking forward to Lion. Only Apple can get me excited about such astonishing features as "Full-screen apps". When I first read that being touted as a feature, I fucking lol'd. But then I watched the keynote where they demoed it, and now I understand. It's not so much about actually having full-screen apps, it's more about switching between them super easily. It's kinda like they removed the somewhat useless Spaces feature and replaced it with a much more simple and useful approach where a full-screen application becomes its own Space, basically. Fucking awesome.

Versions is a kinda cool but not too useful feature. It's essentially just an easy way of accessing your Time Machine backups of a specific document you have open in an application, so you can roll back to a previous version. Useful on occasion, but I don't frequently find myself needing to revert a document back farther than when I last saved it.

Launchpad seems kinda useless, essentially just a stack presented iPad style in fullscreen.

But anyway, a lot of the direction that Apple is going in with Lion makes me think they're gearing it up to be used on, say, an iPad. I mean, you've got a version of OS X with a lot of the same UI paradigms as you see on iOS. And now OS X even has an App Store. And lastly, Apple's already capable of squeezing hardware capable of running OS X into something as small as a MacBook Air.

It's seems inevitable to me that eventually a full version of OS X will eventually take the place of iOS on iPads.

So um… YEAH!
