Wave-Themed OS X Banner Goes Up at Moscone West for WWDC 2013

[fredr500]

You do realize that in the past they've changed the banners after the keynote aren't you? I don't mean uncovered them, they changed some completely during lunch Monday.

Google Wave now comes default on all OSX machines.

I'm loving this thread. A nice throw back to days before iOS, when OS X was front page and everyone had a great time discussing the beta's.

There were some really interesting features that never made GM, such as "Answering Machine" in iChat. Leaving a video away message, friends leaving one in return. Would have been great for the deaf. I wonder if 10.9 will introduce such features aside from iOS integration (which I don't mind, I'd just prefer more OS X focus).

Kind of hoping it also means they've "shed the fat," so to speak, and got rid of some stuff that was more bloat and hogging down the system.

Comparing it to music, a typeface is a song, a font is the audio file. You wouldn't say "that's a great mp3," you'd say "that's a great song."

Please stop, nobody gives a ****.

That is just brilliant.

Damn, you even got the font perfect too!

Thin is clearly in.

Cats don't like water so maybe they are switching to fish names?

House cats don't like water. Big cats do like water.

No, that is Mac OS XI, or iOS X. There would be no 7 banner.

THAT banner is for the new iPhone 7.

I think the wave and possible switch to aquatic mammals relates to the "where a whole new world is developing". It's like comparing the big cats on land to the whole other world that exists under water.

Fun fact: "Neue", being German, is not pronounced "new", it's pronounced "no-ya" (or something close to that).

I think it's closer to "noi-yeh" phonetically. But I lost my 'consummate kraut' status a generation ago.

I knew somebody would say that. That makes little sense. If they used 4, they can use 6.

Unless they have some problem with "iPhone sechs".

Bring back Aqua?

 

[mattmark]

What if?

 

[brendu]

I can see it now.

Jony Ive: "use this slim X on a beautiful background of a wave and let the people on the Internet go nuts. Fools think it has some meaning but I just like waves..."

 

[mrbyu]

Bring back Aqua?

Completely getting rid of Aqua?

 

[Ungibbed]

Maybe going all out on the iOS X Mac Edition (Microsoft style)

 

[Boris-VTR]

It seems like Jony Ive well and truly took the 'software' part of his new job role and ran!

Itn's he only working on iOS software? I belive it is Craig Federighi working on OS X.

 

[vjpulp]

Oh I know what it means:
iPhone 5S will be water proof.

 

[downpour]

Absolutely agree, and I question the 'designers' who find this visually pleasing.

If you don't like minimalism, then why are you interested in a minimalist brand like Apple?

Perhaps a banner like 'this' might be more to your taste...

Farnsworth: I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all...
Fry: Oh. What's it called now?
Farnsworth: Urectum.

Well, the X does look like a cartoony anus if you drew a cat from behind. Except there's no cat any more, just the anus... I think I'm on to something here.

If Apple did that, they definitely would be copying Microsoft!

That would be the real thing. Literally.
