So... wanna share the 10.7/PPC G5 joke with those who joined the Apple community after the transition to Intel? 😕

So... wanna share the 10.7/PPC G5 joke with those who joined the Apple community after the transition to Intel? 😕

And this is how the PowerBook G5 looked like:

 

[Ivan P]

Yes! And not only that, when I install 10.7 on my PPC, I want the OS to always put "Pro" and "Collector's Edition" on the end of my machine's name. So Profiler will tell me I have a PowerBook G5 Pro Collector's Edition. 😛

I heard the G5 PowerBook will be the only Apple computer that 10.7 will even work on. Now how's that for ultra awesome collector's edition?

The powerbook G5 was all hyped about for 3 years, and it never got released. Everyone was so pissed off that they still joke about when its coming out today.

Forgot there was a second page - DUH!

The next big cat

So, what's after Snow Leopard?

I hope it's Liger...

I think the TM on Lynx has expired so we're left with Cougar and Lion.

Cougar is exquisite sounding.

 

[mscriv]

Take your pick:

Lion
Lynx
Bobcat
Flat-headed - sad but true
Serval
Ocelot
Caracal
Fishing
Jungle Cat - yep that's their name
Margay
Kodkod
Black-footed
Chinese Desert - these things are ugly
Bornean Bay - extremely rare
Oncilla
Geoffroy's - not a joke
Rusty-spotted
Iriomote - an island cat
Jaguarundi
Marbled
Pallas' - a true "fat cat"
Pampas
Sand Cat - desert dwellers
African/Asian Golden

And of course my favorite - Tabby 😀

 

[Pixellated]

Mac OSX 10.7 Tabby. The only OS that coughs furballs at you!

 

[iPhoneNYC]

How about Apple Feline?

 

[SkyBell]

I'd put money on Cougar.

 

[Tomorrow]

I wouldn't count on Cougar, only for two reasons:

(1) The word "cougar" has been getting a lot of press lately in the context of an older woman who chases younger men;
(2) 10.1 was Puma, which is the same animal as a cougar.

Yes, I know that a Panther can also be a Cougar, but "panther" as it applies to a cat can actually be any of a number of cats with a black pigment mutation.

[5DollaFootlong]

well, steve jobs said that the osx platform would last apple for 20 years. So far it has been about 8 years. Maybe marbled cat could be 10.7 to deliver the marble ui, and clouded leopard would be 10.8. Cougar 10.9 and to finish it all off, Lion the beastest of the cats would be 10.10

 

[STSNorthstar]

I just want resolution independence. Some sort of scaling so 1920*1200 is actually readable from 4 feet away. Why isnt there a third party app for this already?

 

[Schtumple]

Mac OS X Serious Cat ftw!!

[miles01110]

I'm hoping for a name like Tabby, Calico, or Siamese.

Mac OS X 10.7 "Ocelot" ftw. Time to put an academic twist on Apple's corporate nomenclature...
