Apple Has Already Started Work on Mac OS X 10.8

Sure, perhaps better title would have been. "Apple Employees Should be Working on OS X 10.8 But Instead Are Browsing MacRumors.com."

Sorry to burst your bubble; the more likely scenario is that it's a staged marketing strategy. I would suspect all the other rumour sites have similar stats, and all for one purpose - to generate rumours. It's a part of the play.
My mid 2010 MBP is slow in UI responsiveness when I upgraded to Lion. I will probably wait for better intel drivers before dumping this slow experience. Slow Laggy UI kills everything. Forcing nvidia GeForce 330M all the time makes the MBP run hotter and uncomfortable to touch. I also get a weird static shock when I touch the body.
Pretty sure they've been working on 10.8 since before Lion was released. >_>
Mac OS X Nemean Lion
Bird names?! >_< Okay, but it better be Mac OS X Falcon, and not Mac OS X... Canary
Mac OS X Nemean Lion
Bring it on!
We should be at the end of the line regarding cat names.
I can see them using birds next...
And it goes with the whole cloud thing.

That's bad news
It's really a shame that Apple has turned into Microsoft, shipping buggier and buggier OS iterations with every new release. What happened to quality!? They keep racing to add new features every year and serious bugs that torture people on a daily basis are left lingering. What happened to that rock solid OS of the old times? The latest OS X iterations leak like MoFos, are slower on some operation, miss much loved previous features, and crashes for breakfast.
It's really sad, looks like in a few years OS X will be like windows
----------
for sure! I wish they did the much anticipated house keeping instead of shipping yet another ever buggier release

Hopefully its stable when they release it, unlike lion.
There is no such thing as a software stable at first release - especially an OS.
I'm sure they started right after 10.7 Lion.
If not then we're screwed or perhaps a miracle will happen & be the best operating system. Not sure If Lion is good or it could be that Final Cut Pro X is crap with crap updates. But I use it quite often I like it somedays, but somedays it crashes a lot and have to restart. I use Finaly Cut Pro 7 or whatever the previously new version from X is.
It captures all of my FRAPS videos unlike FCP X it does not it cuts some video out. I think they need to look into that, the format is AVI. It reads it and shows the video just cuts it short at the end. Such a hassle. Of course on the Lion OS there's some bugs here or there but as more updates or days go by it fixes itself I guess. Or doesn't & frustrates people with Mac users like myself.
I use a Early 2008 Mac Pro 2x2.8 GHz quad-core Intel Xeon processors with dual-independent 1600 MHz front side buses, 8 Cores, 6GB 800MHZ ECC DIMM RAM , 320 GB HDD & a 500GB HDD, 16x Double-Layer SuperDrive, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT with 512 MB of GDDR3 memory (I wish Apple would make it compatable with every graphics card out there without using this external converter which sounds nice but not sure if it's out yet)
L2/L3 Cache: 12 MB, Lion 10.7.2 & Windows 7 Ultimate x64bit &
a 20"
Apple Cinema Display. I try to get the best of the best. But of course the i7's are out and soon to be better and faster Mac Pros coming to the Apple Store. Oh listen to me rant or should say look at me rant on this forum. Probably the most I've talked about in ages from this site.
Anyways what I'm trying to say is I hope they don't rush this without Steve Jobs rest his soul & the outcome to perfection since he's a perfectionist like myself or try to be but we aren't all perfect we can only assume.

I wonder how many will get a heart attack if they start the introduction by naming it the new... Mac iOS X. And go on to detail how they will now be one and the same. Two sides of the same coin. Replacing the dock with a swipe to reveal a full-featured iOS Springboard.
Why does anyone with 10.8 need to get on MacRumors?

Not yet... I have been saying OS Xi for OS11

To start rumors ? Or just interested in reactions ?
Anyway: it will be a pink-themed "Hello Kitty" version, I'm sure ...
I really love Lion, I don't understand why people complain so much. Yes, I've noticed a little bit of a memory leak, but I'm sure they'll fix that. And no, I couldn't ever go back to Snow Leopard.
Having said that, I could totally see them transition to bird names (which would be cool, but their implementation of cat names was just genius it gave the name a cool factor you just don't get with "Vista"). But it seems like they're ditching all that cutesy stuff that started this beautiful platform. They've scratched out the "Mac" in Mac OS X, and they no longer have the awesome intro movies that gave youtube millions of hits, all while rapidly progressing to a more streamlined experience.
Apple, the weird, fun-loving, quirky-little-think-different company is dropping all that for a professional image with simple, sleek notebooks, today's pop-culture(think lady gaga, and all the other things the youth's are into) and boring professionalism (no more white macbook
). It's sad that they say the best days of Apple are ahead, but everything that established this brand is departing.It's not necessarily a bad thing, I'm sure they're more great apple products to come, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that all the little things that defined them, the quirky things that made using a mac so enjoyable, so different, is happening to leave us. So no, it wouldn't surprise me if they dropped the naming all-together in favor of a more "streamlined" naming technique such as "Windows 7."
Whats next to go: Startup chime.
Secrets or Rumors
Well most of us know that the featured articles start off so inaccurate that it needs to be edited months later saying we were way off but here's the real deal and how it looks like.
Apple keeps secrets quite well & try to keep it that way unless you work for them and let some out, which I know the Employees there get really excited that they can't keep it a secret anymore, or if they're dedicated they become a loyal and trust worthy candidate to move up in the field at Apple.
I guess this site was called MacRumors because they don't know 100% sure what to say about an upcoming product/project starting on from Apple Inc. Or else it would be called MacSecretsRevealed.com. According to this almost year old, December 16, 2010 to be exact forever long link below, it talks about secrets.

& insider trading charges, complaint against him
People these days can never trust them anymore. Makes you think where this site get's their "rumored" intel from. The plot thickens. You better be careful or the FBI might be knocking on your door too.
But I'm sure they know the secrets from Apple Employees or insider trade people & purposely fabricate the details on here so they wouldn't face criminal charges. Oh I just pin pointed my question. I love cracking the system every now and then.

Don't you mean: "In with the old, out with the new." ???
Ohhhhhhhhhh wait, I get your meaning too. I'm describing a "Manther" according to urban dictionary.
Anyways, the "bad" name calling should really be stopped.
They should use Dinosaur names
10.8 Triceratops (with enhanced security)
10.9 Velociraptor (with enhanced speed)
11.0 Tyrannosaurus Rex (will dominate everything)
After 10.9 comes 10.10.
