Apple registers names for 10.6 and 10.7?

[mcarnes]

Let us not forget 10.8 Bobcat.

 

[bowens]

I wonder what the codenames for XI will be? Birds? I think birds would be the best—there are plenty of birds of prey that have neat names, like Eagle, Falcon, Hawk, Peregrine, etc.

And what about wigeon, garganey, gadwall, bittern, siskin, pipit, shrike or twite. These are real dude, look http://www.birdsofbritain.co.uk/features/bird-names.htm

You heard it here first folks.

EDIT: Fixed dodgy spelling in invitation.

Please note time of post...

Nice...but take another stab at spelling "San Francisco."

Amateurs. 🙄

😛 😉

(As I recall, didn't one of the fake Apple "special event" invitations get tripped up for the same reason?)

😱 OOPS!!!

Gimme a sec and I'll fix it.

 

[Chundles]

Can't beleeve I made such a seereus speling mistayke.

That's technically correct but it just doesn't sound right, I wanted a sort of link in with the old "Finger-licking good" KFC advert.

Better. Now, about the date. November 11th is Veterans Day in the US, a federal holiday. Apple definitely wouldn't hold an event then. 😉 😀

Yeah, It's Remembrance Day here. Not a public holiday though, just a minute silence at 11am.

But dude, 11/11 for OS 11? The ad just writes itself...and it's 11/11 for both here and there. None of this month/day confusion.

I dont care if lions are lazy bums and only sleep all day long. I think OSX Lion sounds pretty freaking cool to me. Besides, if you ask anyone to name a large wild cat they will ALL say lion with in the first 3 answers. Besides Lions are Kings of the jungle just like Mac OS is King of all OS's. It just makes since!

 

[Caitlyn]

I'd love to see Mac OS X Lynx. 😀

 

[gh0sted]

How about for Mac OS XI we go with marsupials.

11.0 - Wombat
11.1 - Koala
11.2 - Bandicoot
11.3 - Opossum
11.4 - Kangaroo
11.5 - Tasmanian Devil

🙂

 

[j26]

still lots better than "longhorn" 😉

...The porno viewers choice.

 

[dsnort]

Bobcat?
Ocelot?
Serval?
Caracal?

Oops, mcarnes beat me to Bobcat in post 51. Sorry, didn't see it.

 

[Dopeyman]

Was "Lynx" ever copyrighted or trademarked by Atari??

'Member they made a hand-held gaming console named "Lynx" ??

 

[thedude110]

Yeah lynx is a text based web browser. 😉

Seriously. Lynx was my first experience with the internet (on some old, green VAX machines -- I think that's what they were called?). I remember using Gopher a lot, too.

If Apple does introduce an OS named Lynx, it had better have some freaking new, cutting edge Internet tools/apps/experiences. The expectation is built into the name.

Don't know how the Liger measures up but the Liger only exists because of human intervention - I know it's a damned big animal though...

Mac OSX 10.6 Liger
Bred for it's skills in magic®

 

[dbhays]

I like sabertooth

GRRR

Or in honor of the Disney-Jobs connection, I present 10.6 Simba

Yes OS 10.8 Sabertooth would sound pretty cool for the revision following 10.6 and 10.7 but would steve resort to using prehistoric cats?

 

[Wellander]

Hi,
Or Lynx might be OS 11.
Or am I wrong?

 

[zephead]

10.6 - Lynx
10.7 - Cougar
10.8 - Liger
10.9 - Simba
11 - Felix

😱 😀

 

[Porco]

Perhaps Steve Jobs is actually a Thundercats fan. Now all the cats are being used up, maybe he'll resort to something like the following:

OS X 10.6: Lion
OS X 10.7: Mutant Vulture/Monkey/Jackal
OS X 10.8: Ro-bear Berbil
OS X 10.9: The Ever-Living! Ahhh-haa-haa-haaa.

Or maybe not.
