Perhaps NEMO, but another Tiger feature seems to be revealed:

Cool. This pretty much indicates that it's coming.
But I still don't understand what NEMO is.
This will allow most developers to remove their built-in updaters.
And there was a patent filed not long ago that mentioned something about windows becoming translucent when left unused for a period of time. While I think this isn't such a cool idea, it should make some developers remove the rather silly "make window transparent while in background" options they seem to love putting in their apps.

Nemo is latin for No-one.
Apparently it has also come to mean "has already been discussed".
This was already mentioned in amongst the massive 11 page thread on the Help Viewer vuln.
(or rather, the fact that swupdate checks packages' signatures - and that 3rd parties can now get Certs specifically for Mac Developers from Thawte, was already discussed.)
Apple Developer Certificate
These certificates can be used by Apple developers with a future version of the Apple Mac OS to sign software for electronic distribution.

Why invent new words and why is this word becoming more popular? Lets just let it die.

Well, in the case of NEMO, the word is NOT invented newly.
Just the meaning.
I have to say, the meaning mentioned above is new to me, too.
But I kind a like it.
Maybe it will become as popular as LOL, RTFM, SCNR...
And before some asks the stupid question what these mean, just Google for it.
(Which I will do for NEMO now...)

Ok, no mention in Google for this.
Do a search with ' NEMO -finding "already discussed" '.
Tons of quotes from Jules Verne's book, but nothing pertaining to an acronym or abbreviation.
So, it seems not to be very popular yet...

I'd never heard of it before this thread (and don't particularly like it) - but I just quoted the wikipedia.org definition (see first post. )

eh?
He has looked already, and thought it so interesting he started this thread about it - I was just pointing out which thread it was in, in an attempt to demonstrate what his odd slang meant.
It wasn't a put down - it was a clarification for HorsePoo!!!.

So in other words, you're not finding NEMO.

So, it's got nothing to do with the psychological profile of one who lives in an aNEMOne?

You can use NEMO when someone starts the 3rd or 4th thread that a new iTunes version is released. Using it for the second poster could be a bit rude, but it depends on the situation...
So NEMO can mean something like: "Could you please scroll down a bit, or at least read the thread titles!" (The rude form)
Or it can mean: "Yeah, this question has been asked many times. It is a NEMO, so. But I will give you the link to the older thread."
That is my understanding of a NEMO. I've read in it another forum and think it's quite usable and nice.  So to say: I like it!

It always appears capitalized. That indicates to me it is an acronym. If it isn't, stop capitalizing it...
if not, what's it stand for?

Could you please elaborate on the last question.
And in case you haven't read the whole thread, STFU and RTFT

I was wondering what the NEMO acronym stood for... since it is capitalized, I assumed it to be an acronym (similar to STFU, RTFM, LOL and the like).
I understand how it is being used, but not what it actually stands for.... if it is not an acronym, it would seem more appropriate to write it "nemo" instead of "NEMO". Unless of course, people just really like capitalizing words they expect people to not know... for whatever reason.

I suggest you go back, read the WHOLE link, follow the Wikipedia link and read through that.
That answers most of your questions.
The question why it is capatilized is answered pretty easiliy: to denote that it is something special.
You are right, it's not how capitilazation is used most of the time.
But hey, I ddin't come up with the idea in the first place...
