I wouldn't be surprised if they indeed went the constellation route, seeing as their wallpapers have almost always been something relating to space.

Sabre Toothed Tiger! My Fav! Or another funny way to go would be to go with OS X Tabby Cat!

It's getting tougher to come up with names that haven't already been suggested several times:

Well...

I know speculating makes no sense, but as I'm probably not going to upgrade, I'm more interested in the name, than the feature set.

The major question will be, what happens after 10.9. Does apple have something up it's sleeve (for about 12-18 months hence), which justifies a major increment (whether it's Mac OS X 11.0 or Mac OS XI ), or will apple just go for Mac OS X 10.10 ???

If they go for 11.x then they're out of the conundrum of thinking up new cat names and can go for whatever (dogs, planets, constellations etc.). If so, then 10.9 will be the "final cat", and I personally hope for "Lynx" (reason being that that's the only big cat we have here in northern Europe and have been felt left out thus far

)

RGDS,

I fully expect OS X to last beyond version 10.10. And whatever the next incarnation is, I have a feeling it will have a very different name.

I also suspect that they will quit with the cat names before they move on to next gen OS.

10.10 = 10.1 in Maths lol

Good idea--I hadn't thought of that one before!

mactumors · Mar 20, 2013, 11:26 PM

I'm not saying that you're wrong, but...

...they are just search suggestions and may not even be related to Apple.

Sound214 · Mar 21, 2013, 05:54 AM

I remember testing the exact same things a couple of weeks ago, and it showed Lynx in the same fashion. That's all gone now, though, even if you try to spell the first letters out.

marvz · Mar 21, 2013, 02:13 PM

Tomorrow we'll know more..

MikhailT · Mar 21, 2013, 03:58 PM

They're caching the common searches that people are performing on their sites, which is a smart thing to do because it reduces the CPU/disk load on the servers by caching the actual search results.

The reason both sabertooth and lynx shows up is because that's what many people here searched based on previous rumors, not solely because Apple have it somewhere on their site.

Ddyracer · Mar 22, 2013, 05:17 AM

They could reuse the Mountain cat name with OS X Cougar.

Connersaw64 · Mar 22, 2013, 10:32 AM

I think we all know what it's really going to be.

OSX 10.9 Bearshark.

Badrottie · Mar 22, 2013, 12:33 PM

OS XI Steve Jobs

printz · Mar 22, 2013, 02:16 PM

Honestly I hope they give a real name to the system. Operating System Ten sounds too basic. Macintosh would have sounded better, but it has been applied to the computer, not the software. When talking to people (vast majority PC users anyway), I just say "Macintosh" when I talk about it.

ELMI0001 · Mar 22, 2013, 03:05 PM

MacOS X Feral

Maybe they go New Mac OS X instead of the names.

djtech42 · Mar 22, 2013, 10:06 PM

10.9 Sabertooth is the highest result now. I would be happy with Sabertooth. It implies cutting edge and aggressive, powerful software (which I hope this version will be). I predicted Lynx before, but Sabertooth would be a cooler name.
