[Cod3rror]

Great, now I'm going to forever associate OS 10.10 with…

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

I don't think that a lot of people really dislike him, he's just used as a scapegoat for jokes about skeuomorphism, and he has a funny face.

 

[Tar Sniffer]

Take that, OS 11 advocates!

 

[bbfc]

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

No.

 

[dastinger]

Had a feeling it would be Yosemite. A good name for a UI overhaul release.



Me too, but they were running out...I would have preferred them moving on to celestial objects. "OS X Orion" has a nice ring to it.

I read "OS X Onion has a nice ring to it" and laughed thinking it was a pretty smart pun. Then I read it again

 

[Wayfarer]

Mac OS X 10.10 Dubstep Apple going for that hipster look maybe a Twerk video at WWDC.

Dope. Now that's MY type of operating system!

 

[abshole765]

If this even looks remotely like iOS7.. I will just give up.

This flat/pastel/neon phase can end at any time.

 

[brunophilipe]

OS 10 10 10

cool for me

join us

Not only that, 1010 in binary is equal to 10 in decimal.

Anyone find it odd that they made no attempt to keep these banners hidden? Why would they suddenly decide to stop doing that?

 

[Paclypse71]

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

 

[hfletcher]

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 )

 

[apolloa]

Aow, I like the big cats names, it gave them some good coverage too which they need as they are dying out.

Hope my MB Pro can run the next OSX version.

 

[Paclypse71]

Will it be free like Mavericks? Hope so... Cause Mavericks sucks.

They'd have to pay me to "upgrade" to Mavericks again. I actually use Quick Look.

 

[sehix]

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

There's no reason why there should be a limit.

When they move from a Unix foundation, OS 11 might follow.

Maybe not.

 

[Serban]

OSX like iOS will be free forever

 

[k1121j]

Excited

I just hope the great an powerful ives dident have to hevy a hand with the UI design. In my line of work i see a lot of people introdouced to iOS and Mac OS for the first time and since iOS7 people have had such a hard time learning the UI its so much less intuitive then before the new symbols make less sence as well as other things in the OS i just hope this dosent happen to OS X its nit a good way to keep new non pro users that are looking for the ease of use that apple is/was so good at.

Dont get me wrong i love my apple stuff Just Sayin

 

[HenryDJP]

Pssh. Tomato, tomahto.

No, it's not. There's only one way to pronounce it. You pronounce it any other way then it's the wrong name, period.

I've seen many people here talk crap about him. Saying they were happy Apple got rid of him and frankly I can't even understand why.

If there was going to be a Yosemite-theme, I would prefer Half Dome -- tip of the hat to Sierra On-Line.

We wouldn't want M$ or Sammy calling it OS Half-way or any other Half-XXX, would we?

The name Yosemite would be an amazing way to honor the 150th anniversary of Yosemite, which coincidentally is today!

On June 30, 1864, amid the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Yosemite Grant Act to protect Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove. From the beginning, this act was a legacy for our nation.
​

You're a month early / off.

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.

But Apple IS California-USA. If you don't want to bother to learn how to pronounce a proper name correctly, then don't be critical when english-speaking persons cannot pronounce Arabic-etc. names.

Mavericks is 3 syllables, by the way. Most names have been 2 syllables minimum.

[SolarShane]

Definitely Yosemite!

Look how similar the pictures are! (specifically the top left mountain)

Nice chemtrails!

 

[triptolemus]

I can imagine people trying to pronounce this on launch day:

"Yo-se-ta-me, Yo-se-mite, Yose-mite, Yose-ma-tee"

Would it kill people to learn something?!?

Besides, it'll be uttered about 1,592 times on Monday.

 

[Casstiel]

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

Obviously they ran out of those. Unless... Behold!

OS X Cleo

 

[bigpoppamac31]

I think OS XI (11) would be better. We've gone through 10 versions of Mac OSX. Now we should go through 10 versions of OS XI. Makes sense to me.

 

[xmichaelp]

I really dislike OS X Yosemite.

It just automatically makes me think of looney tunes cartoons and childlike things. Not a good OS X name in my opinion.

Space names would be much cooler. OS X Andromeda.

 

[RedOrchestra]

OS 10 and iOS 8 - same billing.

CONVERGENCE, and you can take that to the bank.
