Mac OS X v10.7 predictions

[steve2112]

I'm still holding out for LOLCat. I hear it will have a new addition to iLife called iCheezeburger. It will locate all the places in a certain area that server cheezeburgers, and give you ratings and directions to the place. It will also incorporate cheezeburger recognition. With this feature, you can upload a picture of your favorite cheezeburger, and it will recognize who made it.

Why do I have this feeling that MacOS X 10.6 may be the last major development of the MacOS X line?

I (in my humble opinion!) wouldn't be surprised that Apple will announce the before the end of 2009 the development of MacOS XI 11.0, the first major OS architectural change in the MacOS design since the original MacOS X 10.0 with full ZFS support and the "Marble" interface standard. With beta kits becoming available to developers by WWDC in June 2010....

I don't think that's likely. Look at how much Apple have been milking that OS X trademark, making incremental updates x.x.1 rather than x.1.

My big question is, where will they go once they've made Mac OS X 10.9?

Mac OS X 10.10 is named Albino Lion. Mac OS X 10.11 is American Panther. Mac OS X 10.12 is Leopon, which is a cross between a Leopard and a a female Lion. Mac OS X 10.13 is Marozi (Spotted Lion).

Yeah, but then it's just stupid to keep sticking a big fat "v10." in front of every version number. IT'S NOT VERSION 10 ANYMORE!!!

Maybe 10.7 will also take some things from iPhone OS for mobile Macs (like MacBook, maybe MacTablet )? Digital compass, GPS and automatic screen rotation are examples of things that would be useful.

As far as mac os 10.7 is concerned it will be ocelot. it has such an awesome ring to it. and please, make it have resolution independence.. so that it has an algorithm for creating the size of text through the use of screen size compared to resolution of screen. also, having a instant on mode that boots up something like the OS on the iphone so i can quickly check my email and such without having to boot up all of the OSX stuff.

Instant on mode is called Sleep in Mac OS X.
You close the lid of your notebook, or select Sleep from the Menu and it goes to sleep.
Opening the lid or waking the computer is happening in less than three seconds.

The iPhone will have the same algorithm for being instantly there for your needs.

And re: to your signature: I disagree, as rain/water is essential to natural life, MBs aren't.

Sorry if I come across a little bit mean, I'm deprived of sleep, and I had to hold back from another thread, were a lot of plurals were build with an apostrophe.
Have a good day, sir or lady.

3 seconds? More like 1 second.

But what I would like is to have a hibernate option for desktop computers, so they can sleep without a power source if need be.

Don't they do that already? I know the macbooks all hibernate, is it disabled for some reason on desktops?

difference between hardware and software.

Dunno. I've never seen a hibernate option, but if you know how to do that do tell.

 

[Schtumple]

The hibernate option is an emergency fail safe for all mac laptops for when the battery gets very very low. You can't activate it, even on the laptops, it's an automatic process.

Well that's no help for when power goes out on an iMac. They should build them with 1 minute batteries so they can hibernate.

But it would still be a nice option to hibernate whenever you want.

How about something else cool, support of Windows drivers?

The three seconds I mentioned earlier were my experience with my stolen 15"MBP.
My iBook, MacBook and new 17-inch MBP all seem to awake fast.

Also for hibernating: http://www.jinx.de/SmartSleep.html

What do you mean by "support for Windows drivers"?

Windows has another API than Mac OS X, even if they have similar structure and design.

i use the widget "Deep Sleep" does the same thing but much easier to access

I did use it too, but it somehow fracked up my MacBook when I first discovered, that those Intel portable Macintosh computers had this "issue" of driving the current state of RAM to the HDD, which took 30 seconds for 4GB RAM.
My iBook was already sleeping, when the lid was not even closed compared to that.

So SmartSleep offered me the better solution.

And why am even writing this?
Ah, late, tired, at work. Nighttime. And counting posts.

Deep Sleep lets you choose what state you want to use, you use the "Quick" option if you want it to sleep instantly.. maybe you had the wrong setting??

i havent had any problems with it.

there is always the good old terminal commands that is happening 'behind the scenes' with these apps anyway

OOOOR how about something that doesn't run the risk of messing up the computer, like an option in the shutdown dialog made by Apple.

 

[yg17]

My big question is, where will they go once they've made Mac OS X 10.9?

Uh....10.10? Why would 10.9 be the end?

i dont see it being a risk... but that option would be nice.. or holding down the :Option: button when you hit the sleep button - or something to that accord.

 

[steve2112]

They should call that one 10^2. 10 squared sounds cool.

Sorry, I always think of version numbers mathematically. 10.10 = 10.1, the next logical jump from 10.8 to 10.9 is 11.0.

that would be the logical naming scheme for the versions (10.11 will most likely be an imminent release AFTER 10.6 has come out, similar to 10.4.11) but i hope the "Mac OS X" term disappears and they rename it to something else..

I like the numerical system. But Apple Mojave OS would be cool.

i love the neumerical system, its got such a massive history!!

def needs a new name but....(after OSX that is). maybe OS 11, microsoft seems to like that (Windows 7). "Apple 11"??... "OS 11"?? idk..
