Mac OS X 10.4: Tiger

what about those composers...

Copland

Berstein

Mozart ( i think something was codenamed that at one point)

Wagner?

Of course there's the whole british tradition, VW, Walton, Purcell.

Or stick with Schubert.

And the Strauss or Bach families could run and run.

Bach JS
Bach CPE
Bach JC
Bach 10.4

it just goes....


What d'ya reckons, can you get a handel on it?

Okay I had a pint for lunch, I should get back to work.

:p
 
Is Tiger going to be Apple's shoehorn into the velvety slipper of a 64-bit OS?

I realisle that G5 doesn't reach it's full potential because of the limiting 'bit' of the Panther OS. So I was wondering if Apple will have no problem charging the $129 because this is a 64 bit OS. Following on from that they will then fill the hardware range with G5 to meet the needs of the OS ....


Or am I mutting high-octain guff?

(probably)

We all have our own reasons to dislike Microsoft, but to hate them "just because they're Microsoft" is not a valid reason in my opinion.

I don't hate them "just because they are Microsoft" or "just because they are successful." I develop software for a living. I do not mind that they are financially successful, I mind that they got there by selling sub-standard software and using dirty tactics to beat their competitors down. The fact that they have been so successful, has had other implications in the area of user expectations of software, and consequently, in the overall quality of software produced by those in my industry. The average PC user today truly believes that having an application (or OS) crash and/or lose your work once in a while is "OK" and that it is "just the way it is." A large part of the software industry out there seems quite happy to "oblige" and provide the users with everything from unintuitive user experiences right down to unreliable operation of applications.

I'm not saying that a sizeable, complex piece of software can be 100% bug free, but I know I have had a hand in developing critical control/management software that is expected to run 24/7 without crashing and without leaking memory like a sieve. That stuff was far more complex than a word processor, spreadsheet, email client, messenger client, photo app., or music app. will ever be. It's not "OK" for these things to crash, and it's even worse for any of these crashes to cause your computer to "lock up", crash, or otherwise force you to "reboot" in order to restore stability.

Make a "better mouse trap" and get filthy rich, and I'll be the first one in line to cheer for you. I cannot cheer for M$.

But I'm thinking that Exon/Esso/Standard Oil might have a problem with Apple putting a Tiger in their Tank.

When was the last time you thought you were at an Exxon station buying gas, but only later you discovered you were actually at an Apple Store buying an OS upgrade?

Ha! Ba-zing.

If this goes off as planned, I can see some pretty heavy links to Hobbes from "Calvin and Hobbes". I get the feeling that a lot of Apple users identify with that sort of witty and fun humor. Hobbes could wind up being the mascot for the whole Apple OS. I could actually see them buying up the rights and running with this idea... :eek:

Copland was the ill-fated MacOS 8 that was canned. It was the one that had Pre-emptive multitasking and Memory Protection for non-graphical tasks only.

Gershwin was to be MacOS 9 with full PMT and MP.

However, those were canned, Apple bought NeXT, and gave us updated System 7 OSes for MacOS 8 and 9 while they developed Rhapsody, later to be MacOS X.

A good choice, IMHO. Although there are a lot of those stubborn MacOS 9 users today that would have really liked Gershwin.

As I understand it, the author of Calvin and Hobbes (Bill Watterson) was pretty opposed to "selling out" for anyone. All those images of Calvin peeing on a Chevy and whatnot are unauthorized knockoffs.

Then again, Calvin and Hobbes certainly do think different, so maybe it's a perfect match....

It shouldn't be as the Pzkpfw VI "Tiger". People will fear it as soon as they catch a view of it or as they get to know it's somewhere near :)

Hey, I hadn't even noticed the tank connection. But isn't the Jaguar tank a fairly recent model? FTM, didn't the Panther come after the Tiger? Maybe we're going backwards... Make a great commercial anyway!
 
Upgrade discounts?

I'm wondering if Apple will offer a discount on this new OS for owners of new Macs running Panther (since the Mac World Expo in January). However, if Apple offered discounts to Panther users since 10.3 came out in October that would be cool, too! :) I was also wonder what would this new OS would include in terms of applications and functionality? Are there going to be any really cool new apps? One app, I would like to see Apple do is some sort of financial software (like Quicken for Mac, but better) that could handle investments and retirement planning too.

I guess if "Tiger" is a pay to play version only it'll probably cost the same as every version of OS X before it.
 
What about CB radio '10' codes?

10-1:* Receiving poorly
10-2:* Receiving well
10-3:* Stop transmitting
10-4:* OK, message received
10-5:* Relay message
10-6:* Busy, stand by
10-7:* Out of service, going off air

I dunno about this whole spatial thing. ... I say all this, because I have trained people to use computers, and "folders" are the hardest thing for them to pick up, as far as I can tell. They are like "what is a 'folder'?", and they never know "where" they put anything. I think this is because they don't expect something that is inherently non-spatial to behave as spatial.

Good. I've noticed that some people just don't understand hierarchical folders (spatial), whereas some other people love hierarchical designs and nest them twelve levels deep.

I was thinking we could have some kind of "twisted hierarchy" where it's locally hierarchical (nested) but actually, it's a network of links.

My recent documents -> Work on the Blipper job -> C source files -> Notes on the Blipper job -> Jobs -> Work on the Foonly job ... etc.
 
I've said months ago that I would love to see the code name Tiger used. If not 10.4 then in the future. I think that the coat is awesome! :cool:

You're right..."King of the Beasts"!

And of course the requisite puns..."Announcing the Pride of Apple - Lion, King of the OSes" :D
"The OS King" (of course, Disney might sue)
Maybe a "Lion King" tie-in...see the play, get Mac OS X Lion! :D

Naw... I think the next series will be birds, man... tacky, evocative "great bird" names... so you can "soar with the new OS..."

And I think they'll stick with the "X" (cos, hasn't it been referred to more often as "Oh-Ess-Ex" rather than "Oh-Ess-Ten"...? So perhaps it will look something like this:

OS X 11.0 Hawk
OS X 11.1 Falcon
OS X 11.2 Eagle
OS X 11.3 Condor
...etc...

(So we'd say something like: "Oh-Ess-Ex Eleven Condor"...). Has a nice ring to it, doncha think? Getting awfully long though... ;)

gawd... don't I have anything better to do?? :D :D :D

peace,

When the rumor mill is this slow, might as well make the best of it and have fun with the thread!

Maybe OS X1 Hawk (like Extensis did with Suitcase)? :D
 
New Logo for TIGER 10.4

Apparently, Apple is concidering the following as the logo for 10.4
