Tim Cook at D11: Executive Change Up Has Been "Great", Revamped iOS/OS X to Be Unveiled at WWDC

Have to agree, big changes like this always make me a little nervous as it can go either way. Hopefully it will be less Windows8 and more OSX Tiger.
I'm glad they're revamping both os's at the same time. Maybe they'll continue this theme of paired releases. It's definitely a good way to prevent inconsistencies between the two.
I absolutely loved it though when he got on stage to introduce the new unibody enclosure for the MacBook Pros.
What is a "change up"?
It's just a change.
The 'up' makes it a happy, fun, positive change! Yay!
Much better than saying, "we canned a couple of guys".

It's an uncommon surname?
The name "Mac OS" is already taken. It's the name of the ancient operating system that Apple used from 1984 to early 2001 or so, and which was replaced with OS X.
LMAO!!!
I am on the floor laughing, I have a 23" screen and as soon as I clicked the article had life-size picture of Ivy's mug... Best comment!
There are high numbers of sales, mostly by default because the second largest laptop/desktop OS isn't sold to OEMs, and the third largest laptop/desktop OS doesn't have any sales force selling it actively to OEMs, but it isn't "dominating" anymore. If you look at what devices home users use for their computing needs, it isn't actually that strong anymore.

Some think the name is Johnny Ives
Admittedly when someone writes "Ives" at least we know it wasn't a misspelling of "I've".

That makes sense. I was wondering why Tim would be using a baseball metaphor.
This might explain why.

Does iOS have a Tourette bug?
I can't see myself using my macbook pro without mission control and launchpad. I too take them off of my dock, but only because I use the trackpad gestures to get to them. I think both iOS and OSX can borrow things from one another, although I would rather iOS borrow from OSX.
Well Apple I am fully looking at you to give me something special with the new iOS, give my iPhone 5 a boost. Hmm they do know June 10th is the same dat as the E3 press conferences right?
Hmm they do know June 10th is the same dat as the E3 press conferences right?No, not really. The only thing "laptop-ish" about the iMac is the GPU and Ram it uses. It still uses a desktop class CPU and HDD. At the least the one I use certainly does.

Yes and no. The "Mac OS" moniker (while ending in 2001, because up till then people just called it Mac OS) was used in system 8, 9 and X. It wasn't until Mountain Lion that it was replaced with just "OS X".

I can't wait to see the new Mac OS X at WWDC!!!!

I'd prefer Leopard or Snow Leopard than Tiger to be honest.

I really just hopes it includes custom repeat for calendar entries. It's really annoying to need to wait until I return home and fire up my Mac just to enter a "repeat every second Tuesday" event in calendar.
Does Sir Jony ever age? Like ever? Or is He (the Chosen Padawan of SJ) destined to look like a 29-year old for the rest of his life?
I mean... take Jobs for example. The dude aged like 26 years between 2004 and 2011. Meanwhile, Tim Cook has accumulated a lot of grey hair since the time he took the role of CEO.
My theory is that midichlorians are responsible.
Very interesting development in the las 7 months, all heads/fathers of mayor OS were lost: iOS, Android, Windows.
Looking forward to the world ahead of us.
And I don't know how a 100% hardware non programer but a master of design can do to iOS. My thinking about this is that Ive will hear his team and will use his design power to choose which way to go. I would love Forstall to be still in Apple, but I have to trust Cook in this. I'm afraid yes, but hei, Android and Windows lost their fathers too. They can not go worst than their 2D GUI design.

really interested in seeing the changes
why is there no WWDC countdown at the top of every page?!?

I wish Apple would focus on quality and less social networking integration. How much more do we need in our devices? I'd rather engineers would bring OS X back to the stable, advanced system it used to be and scrap all the Facebook and Twitter focus. iWork and iLife have received little focus aside from iOS updates to their suites. Finder needs an overhaul, multiple display support is lacking, OpenGL Core is really lacking (people shouldn't have to boot into Windows to play games on their Mac's, or for heavy design work), pro-Apps updates, and improved hardware. The LED LCD's have been hit or miss for many, myself included. After 3 years of numerous repairs and replacements on my 2 24" LED LCD's, Apple just replaced them with 2 27" LED LCD's. One thing I will always love Apple for is their customer service, at least for me I've been fortunate in that department
