I found evidence of Apple's next OS, Mac OS X Leopard, in the current version of Safari sitting here on my computer. This news may not be new, but when I accessed Safari's package contents, I noticed the above buttons—buttons currently unavailable in this version, but we know to be in the next. They are, apparently, the "Add to Dashboard" button for easy widget installation.
To those unfamiliar with Apple's OS and its ecosystem of applications, an icon, say, for
Safari of Firefox, represents not the program, but rather a folder—or package—containing the program and all the resources that program needs. In Windows, you activate directly the .exe file to launch the application. In Mac, it just seems that way.
Well, anyway, one can open these special application folders and see all the buttons, pictures, and files it needs to survive. This is where I found these nuggets of foreshadowment.
