Title: OS XX (10.10) Name?
Post by: persia on June 02, 2014, 02:24:57 PM
What do folks think OS X 10.10 will be called?  There's a big banner of El Capitan, but it would be a funny name for an OS.  Yosemite seems to be a popular guess.  What's your guess?

Call it "Yosemite" and everybody will instantly think of Yosemite Sam.

I think they should call it OS X iOS.  

Sure seems to be more and more like the direction they'd like it to go...

Granted I only started using it because of work, and can I just say.... I'd rather use Linux.  :D

Anyone else loving the addition of seven year old Windows Vista features to Mac OS X Yosemite? Regardless, Apple will have learned from Microsoft's missteps and do a better job of convincing developers and users of the features' utility.

There is only one feature that I would want for OS X... the ability to highlight text, and then paste it with the middle mouse button.  I mean come on, X11 has had support for that since pretty much forever.  They copied a lot of other unix-y stuff, why not that one?  But no.. everything has to be Command+C for copy, Command+V for paste... it's horrible!

Because much as we love our retro toys we live in 2014.  We earn our livings in 2014.  What pays the bills in 2014 is OS X, iOS, Android and Windows....

“The old order changeth, yielding place to new,   
And God fulfils himself in many ways,   
Lest one good custom should corrupt the world.

Posting close to the guidelines there. You may not have intended it but your post can be interpreted as derogatory to gays (and/or hipsters). I'm no apple fan either but this is the legitimate sub board for it.

Anyway it should be called OS xA.

I have an old MacBook Pro that is sill on OSX 10.4 Tiger. It was a machine I set up for live performance in 2005/06 so once configured and running stable, I never upgraded any of the software or hardware.  It's a rock solid machine :)
