First OS X 10.10 Banner Goes Up at Moscone Featuring Yosemite

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.
Ah yes, Yosemite Sam.

Perhaps they don't watch cartoons over there.

I hope not. iOS is not rich enough for a desktop replacement. OS X is too rich to work well in the simple UI philosophy underpinning iDevices. Converging them into one means meeting somewhere in the middle at best (though I fear that needle would lean far too much toward iOS such that desktops & laptops would be stripped of traditional OS power).
On a micro-level, think about how Pages was changed to make the "new" desktop version align with the iOS version. The general perception was that many powerful features were stripped to "dummy it down" so that it worked well between OS X and iOS. Now imagine that on an OS scale, affecting ALL programs that work well on OS X but are at most "lite" versions in iOS.
Personally, I hope they don't converge for years (if ever). In fact, I'd personally prefer that maybe they fork away from each other a bit so that it stops feeling like OS X is mostly getting iOS hand-me-downs rather than it's own dedicated innovations. If computers are the "trucks", give them mind & focus on building fantastic trucks.
OS X Sequoia sounds cool
Agreed. But then, i've always enjoyed going to Sequoia more than Yosemite. Yosemite gets all the hype, and all the people. Sequoia is every bit as good or better, imho.
According to Cook... and he has said it many times... iOS and OS X will remain separate operating systems. Why do people keep questioning this?
I kind of find all these names a little odd if used by Apple, because many of them have been used already by various car companies...
California - Ferrari
Diablo - Lamborghini
Condor - Toyota
Tiburon - Hyundai
Skyline - Nissan
Sonoma - GMC
Ventura - Pontiac
Sequoia - Toyota
Not to mention, Shasta (Cola) and Sierra (Mist) are sodas, so that's a real stretch to associate them with the Mac OS.
I'm really going to miss the cat names, and I feel the switch in the names to another theme should have happened with a switch to Mac OS 11. All of the Mac OS X names should have been cats. It's odd that 10.9 and now 10.10 will be different than all the rest.
Am I the only one that thought space-themed names or precious metals would have been cooler?

If you are attempting to tell a joke, please insert 'joke here'.
What kinda leak without a link to where you got it from.
Its a nice fake though.

Go to the park and you will Think Different(ly).
Context? Source?
Odd fake if it is one. Im trying to figure out what the giant black box is (quicktime?)
Somebody posted it in the comment thread on iDownloadblog.com. Wasn't trying to be funny.

i think the pattern would be more like:
10.5 - Leopard
10.6 - Snow Leopard
10.7 - Lion
10.8 - Mountain Lion
10.9 - Mavericks
10.10 - Dallas Mavericks
..but maybe that's just me
Unless its fundamentally different (like COMPLETELY different), we are not going to see OS XI.
california is mythical..
pretty sure if apple was based out of say, oklahoma, they wouldn't be doing this type of marketing.

I don't know. But last few days have had a lot of "convergence" and replacing Intel with A8 or A9 in Macs. Both are spun well but then one thinks beyond the spin and it gets scary (IMO). I hope all of "us" who thinks convergence of both into one and/or A8 or A9 replacing Intel in Macs are WRONG.
On the A8/9 in Macs bit, I've even seen some spin about us just using the iOS version of programs until they are updated for Mac-sized screens. Yikes!
I don't know why people are saying its going to be called iOS X or OS XI, it's OS X.

I believe you're seeing some naming a merging of OS X and iOS as iOS X. For my opinion on this, see my post (#158) just a few back.
And I believe you're seeing some wanting to move on to an OS 11 instead of the "confusion" of an OS 10.10 then 10.11 and so on. I just can't imagine a hop to eleven without months of rumors describing a major overhaul of the Mac OS. Flattened icons and other lifts from iOS is just not enough for a switch from 10 to 11 (IMO). I think that would take a sense of something revolutionary (like it was from 9 to 10).
