Leap, the new finder replacement by Ironic software, advertises itself as “better than the finder” at locating both the documents you were looking for and the documents that you didn’t know you were looking for. However, further testing has proven that Leap is better at locating documents than the actual human brain, and has therefore made the user as useless as an embarrassing vestigial tail.
“With Leap, I no longer need to use my computer,” said tehCatz66 in an online review. ”All my documents are so easily found, I just think about them and I’m done! Thanks, Ironic Software!” This is thanks to Ironic’s use of Bluetooth, Bonjour, and Voodoo.
With Leap you find things based on your natural memory of that file.
says the Leap website. Macs with wireless connections can automatically connect to your brain, then pull your memories directly from your brain, thus allowing Leap to both index your brain and know what you are looking for, both consciously, as well as subconsciously in the new beta version of Leap 2.0. ”I won’t say there haven’t been embarrassing situations with the whole ’subconscious search’ feature,” said Ted Leckie, one of the members of the Ironic team. ”There have. Like that time that we were demoing the product and this girl with an iPhone walked by. Leap was searching all the customer’s minds at the time, and suddenly the screen was full of really, really shocking images. Pure lust, in it’s most graphic form. I mean, it’s just an iPhone! I’ve got, like, three that I purchased with the proceeds off of Yep. Don’t tell Tom, by the way. I told him Yep tanked.”
Perhaps the most powerful feature of Leap is the way it can
…allow you to stumble upon not only the file you were looking for but sometimes an even better one that you weren’t looking for.
“It’s totally true,” said another user, whose name I haven’t made up yet. ”I was looking for my will, which I keep as a Pages document, and I found a letter my wife had written to my best friend. I thought they hated each other, but now I know that they’re, like, really good friends! Now I can have him over for poker on Wednesdays again! Thanks, Leap!”
Leap is available for only $59 from Ironic software, or if you have overclocked your Time Machine you can go back a couple of weeks and get it as part of the MUPromo Bundle.

First!
This reminds me of something they had back in the dark ages, but it was wiped out by the Mnemonic Plague. Fortunately most people were trying to forget things back then.
