Apple Seeds Two New Mavericks Updates to Employees for Testing

Why do we need to keep having this discussion? 10.10 ≠ 10.1, and 10.11 will not be between 10.1 and 10.2. It's not a decimal number in the usual sense; the "." is just there to denote between major/minor/bug-fix releases. Hell, look at the latest version # for the WolframAlpha app: "1.5.1.4833354".
Hopefully they'll fix the issue with switching back to internal display after disconnecting the external one: the notification column looks buggy. Also, minimized windows can't be restored through app exposé. I have to restore them by clicking its icon on the dock.
And, no. No one needs Windows 8 tablet-like desktop, so I expect that Apple won't make OSX look like iOS. But don't care if they make iOS look like OSX
I think I'd buy a mac surface tablet.

This comports with the Intel fab of chips going forward.
The OSX 11 future is arriving.

No, full OS X runs on ARM platform... Like Windows runs on ARM... Either way, iOS and OS X will merge together.
So with 10.10 the Mac OS will be gone and iOS will run on the Macs?
With the iOS devices Apple seems allergic to the idea of these devices being able to have drives plugged directly into them (like on a Mac).
So here is my biggest fear. I hope that the merger of Mac OS with iOS does not result in EVERYTHING being forced onto the cloud (e.g concept of personal LOCAL storage disappears). I want my data on MY drive in MY house ONLY!!! The "cloud" is a fluffy euphemism for "your data on someone else's drive". This would also mean that when you go to read/write your data, you better hope the internet is having a good day.
Once all personal storage is gone what is to stop the "cloud" service providers from continually jacking rates like the Cable companies? You want your data .PAY ME!!!
Also, privacy issues abound. The only thing the spook agencies (also hackers and nosey cloud server geeks, etc.) can't get to today is the data on your personal drives (unless you leave your computer on and connected to the internet...then all bets are off).
When all data in the U.S. is centralized in the cloud the NSA will have ALL our data as you will no longer have any local data. And the only way to read/write files will be via internet, where EVERYTHING is monitored (already a fact with Prism and NSA leaks).
Why do I feel like I'm part of a flock of sheep watching a fence go up, knowing a fence is going up, but continuing to graze passively? What happens when the last section of fence is installed?
As crazy as this sounds, this is a worry of mine as well.
cool... An apple seed..
Two of them ......
So, the next version will be 10.10 ? What happened to 10.0 ? Someone's starting early... Mavericks has only just came out, and Apple's already starting on the next ?
iBooks are already been "fixed". Apple snuck the update in with iTunes 11.1.3 to allow iBooks to open..
"The next iteration of OS X is said to alter the look of the operating system to bring it in line with iOS 7."
Does this sound good to anyone ?? I know Apples being throwing their weight aboud with Notifications, LaunchPad in Mountain Lion, and now Mavericks, not to mention social networking too, but do we need to further ?
It IS a desktop with a keyboard ...
Just as long as Apple doesn't decide to do touch, to make it operative as a tablet, i'm happy... Unless they take away the physical keyboard, and allow you to Bluetooth...... But you can do that already.
ummm ....

Yeah, those just happen to be the icon sets I found from a thread in the Mavericks discussion (and I followed the same design spec with the couple I made like the one for Cyberduck). I like the general concept, I’ll probably keep these for a bit.
Thanks, now I'm looking for a chance to sell my stock. Wish Steve Jobs was alive, even as a zombie, to prevent this.
Just kidding, kinda. I have much bigger reasons to sell.
I wish the incremental update(s) would bring to my machine (Macbook Pro, 2011, 8 GB RAM):
- Slow startup: it takes about a minute for my Macbook to boot up (slower than Lion and Mountain Lion). I have no login items.
- Mail.app - I have two accounts: iCloud and Gmail. The app is overall slower than before, and there's a significant delay between receiving e-mails and playing the new mail sound. I had to turn this option off as I find it annoying.
- Dock: opening a Stack folder up is slower. Clicking on the stack does not bring the apps included in it instantly as with Lion/Mountain Lion.
- Random beachballs or spinning wheels: they do not affect the notebook's performance, but there were not present before Mavericks.
- Better iMessage synchronization between Mavericks and iOS7.
- Crash Reporter/Logs/Diagnostic reports: I'm getting several logs, most of them called "Powerstats". I open these files up and it says: Signature -> com.apple.SystemStats.Daily. Each of these files is quite long. I don't know whether I should start worrying or not.
All the best,

Oh god... that looks terrible. I prefer the way things were in OS X 10.6.8... before Apple iPadified their computers.
By the way, thought I should throw in that I've been having no issues recently except for iCloud mail sometimes not working and the Dock randomly switching screens when I use VNC (whatever). It's been faster than ML. They seem to have fixed lots of old bugs, and the new memory management seems to be working great.
My mom's iMac, on the other hand, accepted Mavericks like rat poison. It destroyed half of the core frameworks like it didn't install properly. I'll bet many of the reported problems have to do more with corrupted installations than actual bugs.
----------
They hardly changed the design in Lion and beyond. Just made it more refined. If you don't like the iCloud and iOS-like features for whatever reason, then you don't have to use them. But I use them a lot because they're very convenient, except for Launchpad.
----------
That's not how version numbers work!!! There was a 10.4.11. Check it out.

please keep that childish (imo) ios7 look away from os x. os x has such a classic design that still manages to look more modern than other os to this day.
Yes, I'm aware of that. What I meant is that I've never seen any evidence they've codenamed their minor releases in the past.
I highly doubt they'd follow the path of Windows 8. Their current strategy of simply making the two work seamlessly and similarly with one another is far superior. They're already very similar in setup if you think about it. The dock on iOS matches the dock on OSX. The status bar on iOS is a simplified version of the one on OSX. The only difference is how you navigate the operating system. OSX is optimized for keyboard and mouse, whereas iOS is optimized for fingers.
Windows 8 on the other hand chose to be slightly optimized for touch and slightly optimized for keyboard and mouse, but doing both in an clunky way.
When I think OS 10.10 or 11, I think they'll mostly focus on unifying design language throughout their products. Right now, OSX looks similar to iOS 6, whereas the iOS devices have the new look. Expect more transparency, new icons, redesigned default apps, etc.
OS X and iOS are NOT the same. If they were I wouldn't use Macs.

Ok, tell me exactly what Apple has to do to make people like you stop repeating this garbage? Make yearly OS X updates? Check. Publicly proclaim that their vertical displays will never get touch? Check. Profess over and over that unlike their competitors they will not try to "turn tablets into laptops and laptops into tablets"? Check.
For goodness sake, this is a company that tells developers that they should completely rewrite their UI when they go from a 4" phone to an 8" tablet because they are so different. Do you really think they will suddenly decide that a phone UI will work on a 27" display? If you want to call someone out it ought to be Microsoft for the tablet/PC mashups they've been putting out lately.
As for keeping the underlying technologies as compatible as possible and moving good innovations from iOS to OS X and vice versa. Of course. That only makes sense.
