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

[Tiger8]

I agree.....they should be coming up with their own letters and numbers instead of copying the current english alphabet and alpha-numeric characters.

How unoriginal!

they certainly have the cash to do it! what is Tim Cook doing with all that money?

 

[chumawumba]

All I'm looking forward to on Monday

 

[WhackyNinja]

Interesting

 

[tarasis]

If only OS X would make waves, but that won't come for a while yet I suspect, whenever OS X:TNG launches

 

[flux73]

Seriously? Every banner and brochure is going to be over analyzed like it was some Alien hieroglyphics?

Not interested unless they show some real products and services. Rest is just hype!

Lighten up Francis. It's okay to be excited and speculate.

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

 

[RoboCop001]

Things they'll say during the keynote:

"We're making waves with this."
"Jumping into the deep end."
"Introducing OS X Tsunami"

 

[CReimer]

Someone should pull off that masking tape X when they get the banner in position.

Pretty sure Google already tried the "Wave" thing and it didn't go so well...

This had me going

 

[vjpulp]

That looks like just a crossed-out wave.

This can only mean: Aqua is dead.

"Sea Change"

Like the new "X" logo; however this seriously invites the question on what Apple is planning to do with OS X in terms of strategy. Since, there's no reference to a cat in the banner as in previous years I think it's safe to assume that this OS X will not have a cat name. Maybe this new version will be called OS X 9, last year's decision of re-naming Mac OS X into simply "OS X" I believe it was Apple's way of saying that "OS X" is now a marketing name rather than an actual product name.

We will know for sure on Monday. I just hope that the simplified font means that OS X is being refined a la Snow Leopard .

 

[travisbrowning]

Wow, I think it looks amazing! Excited!

 

[dasteve003]

10.7 Lion
10.8 Mountain lion
10.9 Sea Lion?

 

[calciumantacid]

X!

[flux73]

I think the top candidates are: Ocelot, Sabertooth, and Lynx.

Lynx I think is least likely just because it sounds too much like Linux.

Hmm...maybe Clouded Leopard too, which might make sense if Apple starts making a serious push with their iCloud services.

 

[rjtyork]

Makes me wonder... What are they going to do for OS XI??

 

[pualo]

This can only mean one thing:

OS-level integration with Google Wave. About time!

 

[bchery21]

My God, Apple is so unoriginal now. Not only does it stench of Microsoft, the X makes the picture look like it was meant to be crossed out.

Is that really what you see?

 

[willdog123]

Will this new update cost money $$$$$$, or will it be just a normal update, it seems almost yesterday when i bought ML

 

[Northgrove]

So it is done.

 

[tonystark007]

OS X sea lion ???

 

[diddl14]

....the X makes the picture look like it was meant to be crossed out.

You got it. It says "no more skeuomorphism"!

 

[Asclepio]

As a designer (and forgetting this is going up at an Apple conference): that is beautiful.

As a nobody i find that horrible.
