Im a graphic designer, I know all about the font. Why do people care that its being used? Unless Apple is going back to 2003 when helvetica neue ultra light was used on everything in the world I fail to see why its significant.
If it did, they wouldn't be using Helvetica Neue, are they bringing Futura back next?
In the absence of substance, we are left to debate trivia.
Then it wouldnt be called OS X 11 would it. It'd be called OS XI or OS 11
----------
x = 10.
So OS X 10.10 will be OS X.X.X
Apple leading the charge on minimalist design! Just another first!
How long till Microsoft rips them off?

Just a thought.
We've seen no beta's of iOS7 or the next OS X. We all predict that the combination will come at some point. Maybe this is the final step before we go full "iOSX". Maybe at this point we'll get one final OS X release but with Launchpad becoming the desktop, Dashboard finally being killed off and other tweaks to bring it inline with iOS
(note: I dont like this idea, but we all know its going to happen eventually, and Apple will bang on about the 'post pc era' being 'revolutionary' with a 'similfied magical' operating system to justify the 'dumbification' of OS X).

That's one of the advantages of being in the UK, it starts at 6pm our time so work doesn't get in the way
I work nights so usually at 6pm I'm getting my final few hours before work!
Ah, you beat me to it.
Anyway, here's mine with the actual colors from the Lion/ML logos:

Helvetica is not open san serif. Would prefer Myriad Pro... I use Helvetica in my resume though, to make people think I am a serious guy lol
So you are a graphic designer and you don't think the typeface used in an advertisement matters?
Sure Helvetica might have been used a trillion times before, but that's because it's timeless and very aesthetically pleasing.
Gotham-like fonts are massively overused at the moment but that doesn't stop Microsoft jumping on the bandwagon.
2003? Even that was getting to the party late.
They could have been using it in their "1984" Ad.
