- It is an easy metaphor, but Apple pretty much *always* opts for the safer option by default. Doing that in Safari means using "shielded" by default - which has the potential of breaking lots of web apps. (Depending in how restrictive the shield is, of course). Also, in terms of UI, it makes much more sense to warn about dangerous conditions than alert you to safe conditions. I remain doubtful. (Heh - we'll know soon enough ;)
Safari Tabs: You've got a point. I consider the solution visual clutter, and I'm not convinced Apple will go for it, but yes, it might just be.
Optimizing video: It's a tradeoff (framerate vs. quality). Apple rarely gives the user the freedom to make tradeoffs. Still dobtful
English AppleScript: Unless they want to break existing applications and their scripting dicts, they'll be limited to superficial syntax changes. (Plus, AppleScripts main problem is that it tries to be English). In light of the fact that they just introduced Automator to make scripting easier, I very much doubt they'll touch AppleScript.
iCal: Yes, they might fix it. They *should* fix it. Then again, how long have we been clamoring for a fixed Finder?
Address Book: It already *has* LDAP support since 10.2. So, unless this is cryptic shorthand for "Yes, we'll fix the pile of dung that is .Mac", I don't see it.
