Re: What if there actually IS a new Mac Pro?

[Andrew Richards] "[Walter Soyka] "Perhaps the concern isn't about the technical separation, but the ideological one: OS X must retain its philosophy of layered complexity, and must never inherit any of iOS's locked-down design philosophy."

iCloud is their bridge. Local for conventional filing, iCloud documents for the iOS filing model on the Mac.

The thing with iCloud is that it rather spectacularly realizes Larry Ellison's dream of thin client computing to a degree that makes me wonder what future role a PC might actually play in that environment. All this post-PC world could just be jargony stuff meant to fluff iPads. It could also be their actual game plan. I've always disliked the notion of thin client computing for being a bit totalitarian, and was happy to see it vanquished at the beginning of last decade. Or so I thought. Then came smart phones. And push. And now thin client looks to be winning. Or, maybe its won.
