Secret Leopard Features.

Blogging about the Secret Features to appear in Mac OS Leopard seems to be the rage these days, as less than two weeks remain before all will be revealed at Apple's World Wide Developer's Conference (WWDC). Right. Some blogs claim inside sources; most read like wishful thinking.

I can do that.

1. Facial Recognition logon security. A new Macintosh Computer (Mac) comes equipped with an iSight camera and Photo Booth software. Mac OS X Leopard invites a user to use the camera to take a self portrait for the picture attached to the user Account. With Facial Recognition software, Leopard could compare the face of the person logging into the computer against the Account Picture if configured to do so. This optional security step would be in addition to a strong password. Leopard could also be configured to make this comparison whenever a password is required.
2. iPod Development Kit. The consensus of the iPhone rumormongers is that an iPhone Development Kit will be introduced at Apple's WWDC. Imagine if this SDK could also be used to develop for the iPod.
   

Look for more speculations to come in days ahead.
