Well, now they will know about it.
Will that or will they think its named after the NBA team?
Its not a unique name, and it does not lend itself to branding. The more I think about it, the more I think apple messed up on this.

I think they doubled down on the fact that they are a California-based company; how many times today did we see the "Designed in California" imagery?
The issue is lack of name recognition. I'm from Boston and I had no idea. I suspect it means even less to OSX customers outside of the US

I too thought the names sucks but the features look solid and useful.
I'm looking forward to it.

I think it's a wonderful name
There is A LOT that is "more epic" than Mavericks in California. One thing to consider is not that people hate it but even people in California may not identify with it. Not everyone in CA surfs or has even heard of Mavericks. I think someone mentioned it in another thread, but state capitols would have worked very well.
To be honest, Sea Lion sounds better than Mavericks. The way he brought it up as a joke, then showing Mavericks right after it, almost seemed like another joke.![]()
There is nothing more epic that's California themed than Mavericks.
I hope Apple picks a more obscure place for their next OS just to piss you guys off.
Mac OS X Yreka.
BL.
I'm ambivalent about the name, but I would have preferred constellations instead. "OS X Orion" sounds cool and it would've continued their space thing they have going.
Rubio's
Very true. A California company for sure but not about getting rid of jobs in the US. Design and assembly of one machine in the US except for all those other lost jobs. I don't want this to get political so I will shut it.![]()
They only lost one Jobs.... +1 for Sea Lion (hopefully that will catch on as a nickname)
Makes me wonder if Sea Lion was actually going to be its codename for awhile before they realized it should be changed!
