This makes me wonder if this type of cloud icons is going to replace the floppy disk as a metaphor for saving. It certainly is about time.


I thought they were going to get rid of explicit saving. The current state is automatically saved, as well as some or all history.


You seem to be referring to iCloud and OS X Lion's version history, while the parent is referring to "saving" as an action in all apps in general.


This trend and concept has existed far longer than Apple's latest offering. (although apple has the best chance of actually driving it to widespread adoption).
