Global company, yes, but it's a California company and using a naming convention around famous spots in California makes sense to me. Obviously if you work out 50 or 100 years and Apple is still doing this, perhaps they will make their way to using places or things with more of a global scope.
i didn't mean the exact command 'duplicate' prevents work loss.. just that 'duplicate' is a result (or requirement) of osx's autosave.
for osx autosave to work, it needs a place to save the data to.. if you're working on a new/unsaved document, the autosaves will occur on a temp file (at ~/Library/Autosave Information).. if you're working off a previously saved file, the autosave data is going to that file.
the key difference between the old way and the new way (as in, all the differing UI conventions are a result of this one thing) is.. you now name/save the file before working on it instead of waiting until you've finished the work to do those things.
you would use 'duplicate' if you plan on doing a 'save as' in previous conventions.. it's just that you do the 'save as' first instead of last.. (though for me, i don't use 'duplicate'.. i'll just option+drag drop a file prior to opening it which duplicates it.. you can also right click-> Duplicate prior to opening the file.. doing it those ways, you don't have to open one then duplicate it then close it.
but even then, i barely duplicate a file in my workflow..i just let versions do its thing because i like having one main working file instead of 50 saveAs in a folder.. i'll sometimes duplicate when opening a large file in dropbox though..
anyway, aside from trying to adopt the new workflow, you still can do a 'save as' workflow in mavericks.. just work as you used to, when ready to do your 'save as', go File-> press&hold the option key.. 'Duplicate' will change to 'Save As'.. click that then in the save dialog, name it then uncheck 'Keep changes in original document' and save.. doing that leaves you with the original file untouched&closed with a newly named named file which has been save as'd.
i think the idea is that they're showing their sources of inspiration..
while i'm sure there's some marketing/bs in there- sweet nature is, or can be, inspiring when you're taking it in.
So is putting "Designed in California" on their products "parochial narcissism" too? God forbid Apple be proud of their California heritage.
'Heritage'? Heh!God forbid Apple be proud of their California heritage.
As Steve Martin said in LA Story, "some of these buildings are over twenty years old..."
System Font
Heres to hoping well be free of Lucida Grande once and for all. I dont particularly like Helvetica for a system font either, but its a step up for sure.

The Wednesday before the Friday release of the new iPhone. Probably October 15th or October 22nd but it's too early to tell.

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
You're thinking of significant digits in science, not mathematics.
Wow, there's a lot of anti-California sentiment in here. Maybe people that don't live in California wish they lived in California. I can understand the frustration that must come from those forced to live in lesser states. Sounds like sour grapes to me.
This is exactly the attitude that makes everyone else hate California. Thank you for demonstrating so well why Californian landmarks make for bad names for an international product.
For crying out loud do folks have to cry about everything. I don't think folks in Australia give two cents what's made in California. Tell us how you really feel about 98% of the stuff in the US with made in China plastered on it. You either ignore it or you simply don't purchase it if it's that serious to you.
Parochial? Completely inappropriate use of the word, matey.
No one cares what the Aussie's think. Most of the rest of the world realizes the Australia is just a low cost supplier of raw materials for China, at the expense of your own long term benefit. Your children will have a great future thanks to you, lol.
I liked the cat names too

Apple does advertise OS X as having a "rock-solid UNIX foundation," so this would not be too far off
Yes, but based on how you wrote how to pronounce it (Yo-set-a-me), it sounds like you're saying "Yosetime" instead of "Yosemite" (Yo-sem-at-ee).
it's nice that we all quickly found something (anything) to squabble over regarding naming a software product made by people who obviously care about and take some pride in where they live.
i was worried this might be the only sterile thread on the internet for a minute there. I'd be curious to know what percentage of all internet forum posts are virtual fist fights.

I'm guessing you're a bit out of date with the world of science. They renamed the planet a few years back to avoid people using that silly joke. Its now called Urectum.
