Mac OS X 10.6 - What should they be named?

[dukebound85]

I voted Ocelot. I'm not sure what it looks like, but it sounds cool.

yea i like that as well, or 10.6 snow leopard, "leopard evolved"

that could be the new slogan!

 

[ghall]

I actually wrote something about this in my blog. I wrote something about the (totally fictional) MacBook nano, running (the equally fictional) Mac OS X 10.6 "Ocelot".

'bobcat' would be the dumbest. name. ever.

Longhorn -- that is the dumbest name ever, period.

 

[calt]

Cougar seems most logical to me. It is probably the next most-commonly known cat after the ones that have already been used in previous versions of OSX, including Leopard.

Any Aussies here? Remember the 5 cougars ad? The chick with the big tits, maybe she can come out here and launch 10.5/6

 

[jlewis2k1]

i say we should name it cougar! it a good name i think.

isn't it a pretty kitty?

 

[whocares]

How about: "Saucer of milk, table 2. Rrrrrrrr"?

 

[ArkabaS]

What about OS X 10.6: ¡El Chupacabra! Not really a cat, but a pretty bad ass name in my opinion.

OS X 10.6.0 Garfield!!! <Big cat...

 

[wowowowanimac!!]

kindof random but does steve jobs even have a cat?

 

[MrSmith]

With that amount of money? Probably more than he can handle

Lynx or Ocelot
But either one is a downgrade from tiger...

It should be called Schrödinger.

That way whenever we put the competition in a box, we can sit back and wait until it will fall over dead. Sure it may not always happen, but it come on... Isotopic Poison Switches are always cool.

Next could be Heisenberg so that we could hope to explain why Windows still remains somewhat dominant even though it is extremely inferior and no one can ever track where those market saturation numbers are coming from.

After that, we can have Dirac because by then we will finally have a way for OSX and Windows Applications to coexist without Virtualization or Rebooting.

Then we can move onto Pauli to hope to explain how Microsoft can continue to spin how they still havent come up with an updated OS in the past 10 years.

And finally, we can have Planck because by then the Mac will have a quantum processor at it's core, and it is only fitting that Mr. Quantum Theory gets some credit.

Because truthfully, how many of you have ever heard of Max Planck?

 

[IEatApples]

Cougar or (/and then) Lion.

Remember that the Lion is the "King".

 

[Mac Rules]

I think Ocelot has got a cool ring to it..."And here is Mac OS X.6 Ocelot", Cougar is second place and then Lynx

Cheers

or Tabby!

Meow'ser?

Grizabella?

lol Brilliant, how very physics of you! Can't be called Schrödinger though, cause if its in the box, then it can't exist outside of it, which would be rather annoying! Unless we get a bit of the ol' quantum tunelling, but I don't think eve OSX.6 is even that good! lol

PS I know Max Planck

Cheers

 

[holamiamigos]

I got it..... LIGER (yes its real)

 

[bep207]

Tigon

feliX

lynX

 

[mdriftmeyer]

Bump the version to OS XI.

 

[craigsharp@spym]

In all honor to Napolean Dynamite, "LIGER" My next preference would be, excuse me for my spelling, but Mr. Mustofaleese from the broadway hit "Cats"

 

[false-Aesthetic]

Mr. Bigglesworth

Nuff Said!

 

[bep207]

how about Karen the cougar from Talledaga Nights

SIT DOWN KAREN!

SIT DOWN KAREN!

Awesome movie!

10.6....Ocelot
10.7....Lion
10.8....Lynx
10.9....Sabertooth (Because its on its way out.)
