OS X 10.10 Mockup Shows Off 'Flat', iOS-Inspired Design

They should have used one more cat name for 10.9 and then transitioned to OS 11 using California names.
I think the transition in naming convention using the new place names while under OS X and 10.10 being used is really odd - considering the fact that in decimal format, 10.10 is 10.1...
and "Ten Dot Ten" seems wrong...
but that's just me.
We've been over this a thousand times; 10.10 is not equal to 10.1. I totally agree with you though, about that Apple should've gone with one more cat name, and then transitioned to California based names, considering the upcoming redesign.
There's an upcoming redesign so significant that the Cats To CA transition actually makes sense? The most significant redesign in the history of OS X?
Well, I'm aware of that. Just saying though, when you're used to decimal in Excel all day, it really makes it look out of place.
I think after so many years of cats, this transition was not as smooth as it could have been. Feels like someone wasn't there to overly obsess over the naming and numbering conventions.
Maybe that's the case.

Is this your way of saying "Steve wouldn't have allowed this"?

I guess it is!
Somehow, I think more of a fuss would have been caused over the change in the naming scheme.I usually don't go for the "Steve would have...", but for the first time I have to admit that I think this actually would have turned out differently.

To be honest, Steve would have likely done what he had done for OS X since the introduction of the iPhone (and furthered with the iPad). That is to say, there wouldn't even be as much focus on it as there is now.
I must agree with you. I'm glad to see OSX focus. The world has not moved all mobile yet no matter how thin and light the iPad gets.
I know. I hope they bring over more white space and physic to OS X.
This was just an example of how translucency would benefit rather than confuse users like Windows Vista.
Anything is better than iOS 7 icons.
Not really. iOS 7 icons make be a bit... strange but they fulfill 4 things that they needed.
Unique - the icons are very unique as they don't mimic any icons found prior (maybe maps)
Eye-catching - these icons are bright and pop
Trend setting - iOS icons now follow a simple gradient/solid color and a recognizable unique icon trend
Must look good with translucency - and they do, just check out control center and notification center when pulled over the home screen
The old ones were quite opposite since they mimic OS X (which was a good idea overall, I think)
The icons make have look different but if they "fixed" them to look like the icons on Android or various design websites they wouldn't be unique, now would they.
The safari icon could use some work though.. maybe less white?

Aren't bitmaps bigger in size than "flat" SVG models? I'm not talking about complex 3D models, it would be just a few, 2D edges. How can this translate into big svg files?
I was just going to post this. It looks mostly great, but with a few hiccups. I'm sure OS X 10.10 will look stunning, as does iOS 7.
