In searching I found this:

… and I discovered the main culprit: Backblaze (cloud backup) was generating file lists whenever anything was change don the system, and mds was indexing them.

Sure enough that was the problem. So, if you are using Backblaze you should probably add it to the System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy list.

  1. We’ll see an updated version of the iPhone with more storage and a compass. If it has a video camera that would be awesome but I won’t hold my breath.
  2. We’ll see the announcement of the release of Snow Leopard in August or September. I think Apple will also announce that it will be a free upgrade for Leopard users. They did this for some of the earlier versions of OS X and given the nature of this release I wouldn’t be surprised if they did it again. Especially with the release of Windows 7 this year.
  3. Snow Leopard will have the new ‘Marble’ UI theme that has been rumored
  4. I don’t think we’ll see the infamous media tablet that everyone likes to speculate about. However, I do think iPhone developers may get some info about how future device sizes will be handled.
  5. Like many others I think it would be awesome if Steve Jobs appeared at the keynote but he won’t.

One thing that I think we will see is a move away from it being ‘Mac OS X’ to just ‘OS X’. I think that would make it fit more with the fact that it runs on the iPhone and iPod Touch. This would also fit nicely with the rumors of the .mac name change. We shall see.
