The much anticipated keynote of Apple's World Wide Developer's Conference was today. The new Mac Pro and Xserve machines were announced, everything is Intel now. They previews a number of features of Leopard (due out in Spring) and while there was a lot of just evolutionary things (virtual desktops, spotlight improvements that should have been in Tiger, better mail/ical stuff) there was one thing that's truly amazing.
Apple seems to be addressing the backup problem, namely that people don't do it. But rather than take the standard approach of letting you schedule backups, they did something completely new. Apparently the system will automatically backup everything on your machine that changes. And to make it better you can a version of anything from any time in the past. In fact the feature is called Time Machine and the Interface for it is astounding. You have to watch the video of Time Machine.
