Apple out of Big Cat Names?

Just for the record: german tanks and OS X.

A few tanks that don't have a corresponding Mac OS are still left, we will see which one Apple picks.

I suspect that once apple goes to OS XI, they'll drop the cat names and move on to something else. If that's true, then they only have 3 more cat names to worry about and there are definitely more then 3 more cat varieties.

Who is to say there wont be OS X 10.10?

Who is to say the next generation operating system will even be called OS 11?

(And I'm totally rooting for OS X Pink Panther)

I'm sure they haven't used 'Tigger' yet!

I'm sure Steve Jobs can use his contacts at Disney to get the rights to do it

Don't think there ever was a Snow Leopard tank.

OS X 10.7 ------> Meerkat.

Mac OSX kitty:

will have almost no functionality but the deafult background will be this. Sure you wouldn't be able to do anything, but isn't that kitty so cute?? The upgrade price will be $69.69

Doh! My bad, tigers are : Animalia, Chordata, Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae, Panthera, Tigris
lions are : Animalia, Chordata, Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae, Panthera, Leo

Panthera -> Includes cougar (P. concolor), jaguar (P. onca), jaguarundi (P. jaguarundi), leopard (P. pardus), lion (P. leo), margay (P. tigrina), ocelot (P. pardalis), tiger (P. tigris), Siberian tiger (P. tigris altaica), snow leopard (P. uncia).

Thus both Lions and Tigers are all part of the same genus.

A house cat on the other hand is Animalia, Chordata, Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae, Felis, Domesticus

They are of the same Family, but not the same Genus.

Very comprehensive. Just what you'd expect, after all, from the Genus Bar.

There was no named "Snow Leopard", but considering that Snow Leopard is the second iteration of Leopard, it corresponds pretty good to the Leopard 2 tank.
And btw: the swedish army uses the Leopard 2 tank in a snow camouflage.

Would that be a special edition for the not-gonna-happen netbook or for the iPad v2?

[Cicatrix]

I think the next OS after "Lion" should be Smilodon.

[wordoflife]

[mmulin]

Bond movies!

The obvious one that no one has mentioned:

OSX Pus*y ...

It's a cat after all.

The version after 10.9 is not necessarily OS XI.

 

[walshlink]

Perfect for hardware. Will require more RAM...
