It has something to do with the data center in North Carolina. Maybe a complete cloud computing environment. That means that the entire OS is streamed from there or at least all the applications and data. With a MobileMe account you'll be able to have your own Mac on every other device including all your applications, data, settings etc. Just like it would be your own one. Not just like now with back to my Mac.

The description in this job advert doesn't hint at a new revolutionary feature coming to OS X, it's just standard spicing to make the job look interesting and desirable. iClarified should know better and concentrate on actual news and not complete wild speculation. So much for journalistic quality.

If you want jounalistic quality you wont find it here.

If you actually took the time to look at other apple job listings, you'll see why this is news. There are hundreds of job listings on apple's website, but NO OTHER LISTING is like this. Apple doesn't spice anything up when it comes to job descriptions. All the other ones just say "do this, do that", "you'll be working with this", they give specific names of software and hardware. The level of ambiguity and magnitude in the description makes this listing more exiting and important than anything else. I'm definitely looking forward to this!

It might be implementing touch interface with OS X since these days we hear a lot about Apple trying to combine these two.
