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

[bad03xtreme]

I dunno. If Apple called 10.9 something like Saber Toothed Tiger, we'd all think it was pretty bad 'n rad. The only thing that'd be disappointing about it is if it didn't live up to its namesake.

Like this:

Yeah? Looks like someone tried crossing out a Microsoft screensaver in white masking tape.

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

Regardless, I am happy to see a common theme among these pictures that suggests a visual redesign of iOS and OSX at the hands of Jony I've. It can potentially be good.

new marketing campaign

With no beta testing? Hmmm...

Hmm true, didnt even think of that. Only other option is an announcement at WWDC and a release in September.

It would make it easier for the competitors to say that Apple is selling stuff that is e dead already. It can scare out customers; you want to tell then that you are moving forward without forgetting the past.

So, first the "cloud" and now the "wave" ?

 

[SanJacinto]

And I hope they don't kill the traffic light buttons!

 

[SockRolid]

The X appears to use the Helvetica Neue Ultra Light font, an extremely thin variant of Helvetica and the same font as the iOS 7 banner.

Number of new OS versions to be announced at WWDC: 2

Number of new OS versions announced at Google IO: 0

I detect a note of OS envy among the Android apologists on this thread.

Tigershark?

All clouds become waves.

GPUs have wavefronts.

 

[charlituna]

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

Yep. Which is why I think they intentionally picked stuff to screw with folks.

Got to watch those Brits, they can have a sick sense of humor. Consider, for them spotted dick is a tasty dessert. For Americans, its a reason to go to the doctor for itch cream and perhaps some antibiotics

First we started with an X. . . Then we made it 25% thinner.

 

[charlituna]

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.

Rumor has it that there is no iOS and OS, just X. One software for everything.

Code name: liger

 

[Glideslope]

I wonder what the thin font mean.

Returning to Apple's Roots.

 

[ChrisA]

I wonder what the thin font mean.

The thin font matches the thin font used to make the "7" in the IOS banner. I think this may mean a unification or alignment between the X and the 7

What if they shocked us all and a completely overhauled OS X 11 was shown off on Monday?

 

[OrangeSVTguy]

I guess they finally ran out of cats.

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

ha ha ha - thanks for making my day!

 

[Schizoid]

My gut is telling me Clark Little took that photo. Love the look.

OS X Liquid
OS X Fluid
OS X Splash?

Those are my guesses.

"...And we are releasing OS X Surfs-up TODAY!"

 

[charlituna]

OS X 10.9 Wave

Hmmm are we certain it's 10.9. Maybe it is changing themes because this is the year of OS 11.

 

[rmwebs]

Then it wouldnt be called OS X 11 would it. It'd be called OS XI or OS 11

hmmm are we certain it's 10.9. Maybe it is changing themes because this is the year of os 11.

x = 10.

hahaha awesome

Maybe the new ipad will run a form of combined iOSX?

 

[cube]

Rumor has it that there is no iOS and OS, just X. One software for everything.

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

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

It is an advantage - I still don't get work done, I spend the whole time here waiting for leaks
