When thinking about Spotlight and other things that Apple has developed in the last years I remembered reading some predictions a couple of years ago:

That proposed functionality has absolutely nothing in common with Spotlight except that it includes "light" in the name. It is mere wishful thinking, not prediction.

Wow, with all those old names it's like a reunion.

I remember thinking this stuff was funny. So many people were treating it as mystic predictions when they were really just a recap of things jobs and others had been saying in public for over a year. It bred some good discussion though.

Anyway...
We haven't heard from gorgonzolla for a while. He must have been caried off by that ape after all.
