:rolleyes: Whatever. I'm not NDA police. Pirate all you want. Just don't be pissed when people don't post the changelog RIGHTAWAYS.

Who says I pirated anything? All I was trying to say, is that it really gets tiring to see this back and forth every time any preview comes out. We all know that people have to agree to not disclose things. We all also know that most people ignore that requirement. It doesn't do any good to remind anyone of non-disclosure agreements. People are going to talk about it anyway. Just saying...
 
Goes against Steve Jobs saying Lion was shipping this summer. What is your source ?

Until Apple says it's delayed, I'll believe Apple when they say it ships this summer.

just so you know, summer begins june 21 and ends sept 23 this year. so even it it comes out sept 22, its still a summer release.
 
Poster wasn't stirring the pot.

No, I guess this guy wasn't bashing Google at all :

Learn from Google? What has Google developed that's anything close to an OS?

The fact is, Android/Chrome OS have a lot in common with the efforts Apple put forth into making iOS/OS X. Both companies are well placed to learn from each other and this crap doesn't belong in this thread.

Yes, I am quite aware of this fact, thank you for pointing it out to other posters who might say "an august release isn't a summer release!" though.

OK, here is a historic example:
"Apple missed Leopard's release time frame as originally announced by Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs. When first discussed in June 2005, Jobs had stated that Apple intended to release Leopard at the end of 2006 or early 2007. A year later, this was amended to Spring 2007; however on 12 April 2007, Apple issued a statement that its release would be delayed until October 2007 because of the development of the iPhone."
(from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Leopard)


I do not believe that Adobe, Microsoft and other big companies need just a few months to make their apps Lion-compatible. Will Apple release Lion, if major companies do not support it? Unlikely. Q1 2012 is more likely.

Poster wasn't stirring the pot. One person said "OMG Apple built OSX on top of Unix! They don't build ANYTHING original. Google on the other hand build Android." to which someone pointed out "Uh, no Google bought Android" and others pointed out that Android was built on top of Linux too.

Paraphrasing there.

OSX was built on UNIX. Just like Android is built in Linux.

I did make an off the cuff statement about ChromeOS. But my reasoning was that OSX is a little bit more than ChromeOS, so rolling it out and making it available is a little different.
 
Well Apple has used up all the "big cat" names like Tiger and Lion which means that either OS 11 is underway or they will be in the embarassing situation of having to use lesser cat names which imply "less".

Ocelot, Cheetah, Cougar, Fluffy, etc......:cool:

I for one am ready for OS 11.0 "Merlot"

Heh, 10.0 was named Cheetah.
 
OK, here is a historic example:

Again, when Apple says "delayed" I'll accept it as delayed. Until they do, they said "ships this summer", I'll stick to believing it "ships this summer". You can try to rationalize it not shipping this summer all you want, the official word still is it's coming this summer.

Overuse of the word summer right there.

The "view" buttons in finder changed back to the old style.

Thank god, I wasn't fond of the new style. I found it kinda confusing and out of place.

Ocelot, Cheetah, Cougar, Fluffy,

so 10.8 might be cougar. but if so the system requirements will make it only run on older hardware.....

Stan: "Surprise! I got us a second wife. You know, to help with cooking and cleaning. Her name's impossible to pronounce, so I just call her Thundercat."

Thundercat FTW. Why not, what with Thunder Bolt!

Wine??? Nooooo.
