Apple has released a preview page of what is supposed to be the next major upgrade of Mac OS X; code named Snow Leopard.

The OS is scheduled to be released in about a year. More on Snow Leopard here.

.Mac is now MobileMe


.Mac is no longer called .Mac!! Due to Apple's recent moves which to make its services to be available to other platforms rather than just Macs (say, iPod, iTunes, Quicktime, iPhone, Apple TV and recently Safari; which also available/useable on Windows PC platform) a new name like MobileMe would be more appropriate, I guess. The new service will ensure that our Macs, PCs, iPhone and iPod Touch are in sync at all times. The new features will also include some other cool stuff such as Web-based apps and so forth (with a little fee, of course). More on MobileMe here.
