But "el capitan" IS Spanish. Maybe heaven should forbid English speaking countries to pronounce it :p

I hope not. The dock is much better now, I really dislike the flat dock, it's like going back of 5 years to tiger.

Yes i hope isnt real, because i like the current dock with those little magnitude animation
 
OS X Yosemite?

NO MORE FLAT!!! Flat sucks. I want depth. I want details that inform the user on how to use the interface. Flat is boring and bland. I want elements separated by borders or drop shadows so it is easier to tell what is what. This whole flat fad needs to go away. It is just a fashion thing like skinny jeans and v-neck tee shirts, entirely impractical and uncomfortable.
 
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.

That's what I've been saying. Changing the UI and the way OS X looks is not enough to change the name completely, unless they are making fundamental changes to the kernal etc

I really don't get people's fixation with the version number, it's hardly ever mentioned anyway.

----------

I think that will happen when the next really big UI change occurs, when they get rid of the mouse and use something else.

Not just the UI. If we ever see OS 11 it will be completely different to OS X in ever way.
 
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?

Mavericks was the 10th major release of OS X.
 
For what it's worth, I prefer El Cap. A stunning landmark and a great name. If El Cap is a potential future name, the use El Cap to launch Yosemite doesn't make sense.
 
california is mythical..
pretty sure if apple was based out of say, oklahoma, they wouldn't be doing this type of marketing.
Oklahoma is even more mythical. The less you know about a place the better. You don't wanna be remembered that things are made in the real world with real problems. Oklahoma is perfect to forget about all that. But if you keep remembering people that you are from this world, you will become involved with all the problems every real place has. Oklahoma is high on the list of states executing the death penalty. And there is something wrong with California as well. This trigger-happy Yosemite Sam character is perfect to link Apple with every gun problem in America.

Everyone likes german cars, but would you want to buy a:

BMW Nuremberg
BMW Obersalzberg
BMW Dachau

If you see no problem there, than ...

Welcome to OS X Alcatraz!
 
I don't think you're in the minority, to be honest. This whole California thing is great, if you're from California. For the rest of us, much like their whole 'Made in California' ads, it's all pretty meaningless.

You know that all of Apple's products are MADE in California?..

Thanks for this epic fail. BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke.

Apple's making OS X flat, if you don't like it you've got 9 other OS's you can use.
 
Such a shame you had to ruin your thoughtful post with such an unthoughtful and offensive word. Come on, it's 2014 not the 1980s!

and claiming ableism is a thing makes you look like a brainwashed SJW, this is Macrumors, we're here to talk about Apple, not to play in the oppression olympics.
 
The trend for designers is flat, just look at win8, my concern, especially with the annual roll out of OSX at this point is we'll not really see too many new features. Just some new icons, maybe one or two additions to how OSX works.

No, flat doesn't need to go away. A near 90% adoption rate of iOS 7 is evidence that it doesn't.

I seriously hope your wrong this Monday. I am very much looking forward to seeing OS X transition to a flat UI.
 
[MOD NOTE]
Lets stop with the PRSI commentary and get back on topic about OSX banners and possible names of OSX
 
those are cities.. apple is using landmarks / features of the earth.
you see the difference?
Yosemite is a mountain, Obersalzberg is a mountain. Alcatraz is both an island and a prison and therefore Apple wouldn't choose it. But even "places in California" adds pride and patriotism, which is nice if you are from California and like to be from California. These are not features of the earth celebrating the earth. These are features from one place celebrating that one place. Now you are connected with that place and every good or bad thing coming from there.
