It is no longer called "OSX", it is just "X"

There are no longer versions, they will be updating it constantly via the "CLOUD", and you must pay $10/mo to continue using their OS.

Just as Adobe is doing.

Adobe and Apple have been working on this scheme together for the past year.
The wave represents the end of the era of pay and own your software.

I cannot believe people are this excited over a picture of a wave crossed out.

When your kids shake their Christmas presents and get gitty waiting for the 25th do you say, "Jeez why are you so excited about wrapping paper?" No. You don't. That's because you know it's not about the paper to them... It's the anticipation of what's inside.

The boom has been lowered. Yes I will sign your wife's ***.
 
Sorry, I like GOOD minimal design.

The wave with a white X is not minimal, nor is it good.

I am also flattered you waste you precious time to photoshop a dumb picture like that. Thanks, glad you found my post important. :)

:rolleyes:


So just an X over an image isn't minimal enough for you... perhaps this would have been better...

Truth is, the actual font matters not. Apple could have used any font and people still would be creaming their jeans.
And they would ascribe an entire "brilliant" aesthetic to what was probably a five second decision, after an Art Director said "give me a ten foot high "X", use the thinnest face you've got, and no, you can't buy any new ones, use something in the system."
 
It's been a silent first half of year from Apple, but it's going to be jammed pack second half, hope we don't have to wait too long for public releases, September will be nice
 
OS X is something beyond just the simple numbers. It's not so much a single OS as a brand for many OSes, going beyond the previous '1, 2, 3, 4' yearly updates. I don't think that's going to change. There's no reason we won't see an OS 10.11, or an OS 10.12. If Apple wants to do something radical to merge iOS with OS X, they don't have to wait for OS 10.11 or iOS 10, either.

I guess anything's possible.

It makes sense. The valid alternatives are:

Mac OS XI
Mac OS 11
iOS X

I read it too fast.I get it now.
 
I think it will be called Lynx, and the wallpaper will probably just come bundled, I remember Lion being introduced with a large Lotus as the wallpaper. The build of 10.9 at wwdc will probably be a GM, or near final build. Especially judging by the leaked "build" number from early May. 13A451...
 
Maybe it's a wave from a category 5 hurricane. :p

OS X: Hurricane Katrina

Tagline:
Hurricane Katrina killed 1,833 people. OS X: Hurricane Katrina has 1,833 killer new features.


Apple is taking a big risk with this one.
