Hopefully they fix Quick Look. I immediately returned to Mountain Lion because Mavericks screwed it up so badly.

I get ten second beach balls sometimes when I go to quicklook something. So fing annoying. I wish apple would optimize all that kind of stuff to make the menu clicking lightning fast.

I'm looking forward to a potential UI "flattening".

If you look at iOS 6 vs iOS 7, the former just looks ancient in comparison.

We shouldn't be afraid of UI change (except for Metro - eugh :p )

This. The loading bars and stoplight buttons in Aqua already look ancient to me. They will be prehistoric when 10.10 is released.

Maybe they'll release it June 30th in honor of it's anniversary?

Why do so many people dislike Scott Forstall? He seemed so nice and fun when he demonstrated at the keynotes.

He seemed like a crazed psychopath trying to act normal, look in his eyes and tell me he's completely fine, I dare you.

Californians may love California, and talking about how they're from California, but the rest of the country generally does not have a positive feeling about California. The rest of the world probably doesn't get the references, or sees California culture as a threat to their own cultures.

They should have gone with, well, anything else. Mavericks is a stupid, confusing name. Yosemite may finally teach people how to pronounce it properly (it's four syllables, FYI), but it's really our worst national park. Beautiful from afar, maybe, but it's a smog-filled valley overcrowded with tourists ignoring the scared and sickly wildlife whose habitats have become parking lots for endless streams of smelly buses. Sequoia would've been a better image to associate with. Well, at least it wasn't Death Valley.

Wow, you're in a sunny mood today!

Have you been to any other national parks? Because I gotta say, Yosemite wouldn't even be in my top three national parks in California alone. If I were to visit more Californian national parks, I imagine it would come dead last as it's certainly dead last of all the many, many national parks I've seen across the country. My visit left me profoundly sad and disgusted. The only redeeming feature of Yosemite in my mind is that it attracts all the horrible masses so the rest of the parks remain actually somewhat beautiful and clean.

There was a moment, I remember, standing in a parking lot, seeing trash and people everywhere. There was a single, sad-looking deer, that only I had apparently noticed. Very nearby were several large buses, all running, spewing out their pollution even though they weren't moving or going to move any time soon. The air was thick with it. The whole valley, I remember, was filled with smog. Hundreds of tourists were milling about, getting on and off busses, yelling at each other, taking pictures of each other, not even seeing the wildlife around them. It really disturbed me, and really changed my entire view of our national parks system. What disturbed me the most was how the deer seemed so resigned to all of it, like she didn't know anything better. She had become used to the insanity around her, the crowds and the noise and the trash. I cannot imagine what it's like to actually work in that park as a ranger, and see sights like that every day. If it wasn't for my visits to Sequoia and Kings Canyon that same trip to CA, to remind me that not every park is like Yosemite, I'm not sure I would want to visit another national park again.

My asthma, which was normally under very good control, made it impossible for me to stay in Yosemite for very long. I was having trouble breathing after just a couple hours, in a national park, in a place where living things are supposed to be protected and celebrated. I can only imagine what that sort of environment was was doing to the wildlife that has to live there.

So yeah, for what it's worth, if the next OS X is really called Yosemite, I hope Yosemite gets more attention, because it needs it. Something has gone very, very wrong in that valley. There's a delicate balance between letting people in to see nature and gain an appreciation for it, and protecting that nature from harm. Yosemite is out of balance. It's a stain on an otherwise wonderful parks system. It's an abomination.

If you've only ever been to Yosemite, or maybe just a few of the most popular parks, you really owe it to yourself to see some of the others. It will change your view of Yosemite forever.

I myself have been to many National Parks around the US, especially California (I have family that lives up there, used to always spend all summer up there), and I must say my experiences (been a couple times) have been completely different than yours. I found it to be a very beautiful place.

My point in this: is that I am sorry that YOU did not like Yosemite but there are many different people in this world and we all have different tastes in what interest us. So it is entirely and likely possible that the experience you had is not the experience everyone else had. I myself love it and have recommended many of my friends to go check it out, which they eventually did, and they also liked it.
 
Strike anyone else as weird that we've gone almost 300 posts talking about version numbering strategies for the 10th point update of the 10th major version of an OS, and whether we like cats or mountains better, and how much California sucks-- but we don't seem to know anything about the new OS itself?

I'm not a fan of those landmark names either. It's too California-centric, too USA-centric. And some of these names could be hard to pronounce correctly if you don't speak english. Hopefully they'll stay with single-word names.

Why do people hate that a CALIFORNIA BASED company names it's OWN OS after places in CALIFORNIA? EVERY Apple product says Designed by Apple in CALIFORNIA.

Are people that jealous of California?
 
pronunciation

Phonetics people!
thats what the they are in the dictionary for

joˈseməti - upside down e is called a shwa. it makes an eh type sound... google a phonemic chart that is interactive.... the flying coma marks the word stress.


and dictation on the Mac will speak it for you.

Second of all dictation on the Mac recognises “Yosemite” but the dictionary app doesn’t. hmmmm

I might be in the minority but I preferred cat names to be honest.

The same here. But they were running out. I'd have preferred moving to different animals though, California places is not as global as animals.
 
El Cap doesnt sound like a proper name for a OSX. Its sound like a nickname.
I hope for Yosemite

Seriously how many more revisions are we going to get of OS X. Isn't it time to move up to verison 11?
Click to expand...

They're not "revisions", they ARE versions. They'll move to 11 when they'll completely change the kernel and all the tech underneath, and I don't think that'll happen soon.
 
If iOS8 is announced when do you guys think it'll be officially released (with past releases in mind)?
 
Who's taking these pictures / do you want to meet up for coffee? This is my first time in San Francisco during WWDC.

Why doesn't it follow mathematically again? I keep seeing people say 10.10 is acceptable for a version number but does that not bother the living **** out of everyone else? 10.10 = 10.1
Click to expand...

Actually, even for mathematician 10.10 != (not equal) to 10.1.
To be precise, 10.1 can be anything from 10.06 to 10.15, while 10.10 can be anything from 10.096 to 10.105

Or something like that :D
