Apple Already Working on Mac OS X 10.7 Development?

Don't be surprised that the first developer beta of MacOS X 10.7 arrives at WWDC in a few months. I want to see Apple use Lynx or Bobcat as the name of the new version.
I expect a lot of interface changes with MacOS X 10.7, too.

I wouldn't be surprised, given that it's logical to expect 10.7 to be released in mid-2011.
Why?
Based on what?
Ehh, Marble doesn't look that great. From the look of things they will be moving to a darker OS style to match the black bezel they have on the majority of their products. Imagine a Quicktime X interface around the entire OS, that would be awesome.
I also hope they change the dock up a bit, the current default look is getting a bit bland in my opinion.
Actually, Apple's iLife suite has been moving to marble-esque interfaces. QuicktimeX reminds me of Apple's Cocoa HUD windows. Except with the traffic lights.
I think that the new Stacks, the new Dock menus and Quicktime X are indication for what the UI will look like in 10.7. Hopefully by then all of the iLife apps will be fully 64-bit with OpenCL support and GCD implemented.
January 14 2009?? "Take that with a grain of salt." No kidding. Marble has been predicted for years; it doesn't take any imagination to predict it again.
Here is a snapshot of the box from a good source.
Is it going to include a brand new iBoobs application?
I'm still thinking it's going to be a "tamed" down OS more like the iPhone/iPad and away with general computing (more money in charging 30% for all developers) and therefore figure it will be called "OSX 7.0 Pussycat".
Yeah, given the jarringly steep upgrade cost it must have been a no-brainer to skip SL. I had to work extra for 6 months to save up the $29.
Personally I hope they run out of cats soon, so that 10.9 will be the last.I hope they don't name it Cougar
They're probably saving Lion for that one.
Then they can move on to 11 and start with the sharks.
11.0 Dogfish
11.1 Sagre
11.2 Sharpnose
11.3 Sand Tiger
11.4 Whitetip
11.5 Hammerhead
11.6 Mako
11.7 Blue
11.8 Thresher
11.9 Great White
10.7-11.9 should take about 25 years, so expect Great White around the year 2035.

You forgot "nurse" and "wobbegong" sharks:
The problem with the Olympian deities is that they're all gods and goddesses of multiple things, including at least one that has negative connotations (depraved, lethal or just plain icky). Let's see...
Aphrodite - porn alert
Apollo - plague
Ares - bloodlust and violence
Artemis - more plague
Athena - She's clean, actually
Demeter - also clean
Dionysus - the godly equivalent of a drunken hobo on a park bench
Hades - yay, death!
Hephaestus - "the crippled god of..." wait, what?
Hera - clean
Hermes - "animal husbandry"... sounds fishy.
Hestia - clean
Poseidon - earthquakes
Zeus - clean
They might as well name them after STDs.
11.0 Herpes
11.1 Chlamydia
11.2 Gonorrhea
11.3 Syphilis
11.4 Hepatitis
11.5 Crabs
etc...
I can see it now...
(update arrives in the mailbox, kid picks it up, smiles)
"Alright! Mom! I got Chlamydia!"
"Can you upgrade from Gonorrhea or should I just do a clean install of Syphilis?"
"Crabs has no cool new features I want, I'm sticking with Hepatitis for now"
