already added in Mountain Lion... I just took this screen shot as a test.
it already runs with the lid closed.. no 3rd party software needed... whats missing there? Powernap is nothing to do with that and can run even wit the lid up.
Got a tip for us?

I'll have to test it again but I remember it not showing the options when moving stuff around on my NAS.
As for lid closed, I should have mentioned I want to do this without plugging in an external monitor and keyboard. I don't need either of those to control it via VNC.
- File system with SHA-512 checksums and error correction information in a separate named fork (HFS+ supports named forks).
- LZMA compressed file system. Compression is better and the decompression is faster than in zlib (deflate). Apple can use hardware accelerated checksum algorithms, instead of the LZMA format checksum algorithms.
- LZMA2 compressed Mac App Store files and updates (.pkg (XAR) files).
- LZMA2 compressed .dmg files (not only zlib and bzip2).
- Support for popular formats like MKV, FLAC...
- Two level memory compression for inactive tabs in Safari. First WKdm, then later after a few minutes zlib (deflate). Apple uses already the fast WKdm-algorithm for the "sleepimage". Mac OS X >= 10.1.5 compresses window buffers, if you do not use a certain window:

Why? Scrollbars are useless beyond looking ugly.
Not coming back. Time to let go of the past.

I would like to see Finder with Full-Screen
Its a feature I would LOVE to see in OS X 10.9 ...I wont find it useful but it could be handy to some xD

The most wanted for me now & possibly possible:
1 .IMPROVE MULTI-SCREENS SUPPORT IN OS X ( UNusable under Lion/ML if in fullscreen mode
2. Skype in iMessages
Things which will never happen (probably):
1. Return to Mac OS X and not continue in ' iOS X ' strategy.
2. (I don't think that this will ever happen) WINE integration
3. Make power management even better. ( Well, I would appreciate something like Windows Power options, only thing which I miss sometimes, but that's only because I like having control over OS)

For now, in my opinion.
I think that rMBP is very similar to iOS device - You can't change ANYTHING, and OS X is also starting to be like that (Gatekeeper only, for now..)
Tabs in the finder window, so you don't have to open up a new window every time
Siri would be a nice option
An easier option to send documents to icloud (for instance to send a pdf to icloud, you have to open it up in preview, then manually save it to icloud from preview)
iCloud to remember system preferences (I don't know if this is in there), so if you have to do a clean install at some point, iCloud can remember your system preferences
Save non app store apps to the cloud (I doubt Apple would go this route, but it'd be cool to save some downloaded apps, or apps from cds, to the cloud and not have to redownload or plug in an external drive to put them back)
More launchpad integration (be able to delete non app store apps directly from the launchpad, and when you open apps, the computer stays in launchpad mode instead of going to the main desktop. Kind of defeats the purpose of having both the dock, and launchpad)
The ability to play iPhone/iPad games straight from OS X

Wish list
My ideas are more of what I expect to see, than what I hope to see.
First, unification of notification center. Things that show up in the notification center on my iOS device, will likely show up on the desktop I'm using.
iOS apps will likely make an appearance for dashboard. It's a way to sneak it into the desktop, and get people use to it, just like they did with...
Siri. They will go from just voice dictation (in ML), to added voice control. People will be used to talking at their computers, and will likely expect more.
Continued migration away from file systems. There is no, none, not a snowballs chance in HELLO, iOS has no real file system (per se). Apple is migrating away from this. There will definitely be NO ZFS, and it may be time to drop Finder, the front end of the FS in exchange for Launchpad.
OS X 10.9 will be the last server OS (as we know it). They've dropped the hardware for Enterprise class service. There may be a continued Mac Mini server, but it will continue to migrate towards being a home server. Think personal cloud...
iOS will be between versions 8 and 9 by the time 10.9 comes out. When they merge, they will create OS Xi. XI is eleven in Roman numerals.
The i in Xi will reference iOS (the inevtiable combining of OS X and iOS). Apple could have some real fun and call it OS Ξ (OS Xi), the 14th letter of the greek alphabet. It also sounds like someone saying OS I.
Anyway, if I get anything right I expect everyone to send me 2.5 interweb points.

Not really... Scroll Bars are still a necessity in todays world where you share your mac with friends who have no idea how to use a multi-tough trackpad.

To me, iCloud is hardly usable because of the way it handles files. Let's face it, probably 90% of the world is used to file systems working a certain way
I dont think thats a valid reason. I had my dad sit down in front of a mac for the first time in his life and he was able to work things out, even with the reverse scrolling he had no problem. He is a die hard windows user.
Yes but that doesn't mean they're good and creating their own methods for retrieving files. What I see the issue being is trust.
Yes trust.
It's hard to trust your computer for some things because over the years of owning them many of us have been burned by the computer screwing up and doing something bad with our data. Once bitten twice shy.
To me reliance on the file system for organization is a sign of this lack of trust and believe me I've tried to move to a more flat file structure and it's more difficult than it should be.
I'm hoping that iCloud evolves into a trustworthy tool that allows me to forget the tedium of manually managing folders and documents.
PROPER scrollbars are a necessity. Multitouch mice have no real buttons, so no way I'm getting one.
And I don't use the scrollwheel, too much strain.
