    Cats. Drinks. Paris. Woohoo for tight pussies.





    past fat tabby speculation #1



    past OS name speculation #2



    I've always been partial to Ocelot as the next code name,

    though Cheshire rocks and Smilodon would be way cool.

    What about Mac OS 11. Why not step it up and do a total new version. Thats what ill pay my money for.



    How bout a completely new category:



    Mac OS 11 Anaconda

    Mac OS 11 Boa



    Or some other animal category.

    Only problem is that a Cougar is a Puma is a Cougar, so you run into issues.



    Being a dog person, I have nothing else to add. Oh, except this:

    That would be hilarious to start a sort of "Cobra" (as in GI Joe) naming scheme from OS X 11.



    OS X 11.0 H.I.S.S.

    OS X 11.1 Rattler

    OS X 11.2 B.A.T.T

    OS X 11.3 Serpentor

    ...



    OK, maybe not... but thats what I get for growing up in the 80's

    "What like a puma?"

    "yeah, looks just like a puma"



    Lets see if anyone knows where that one comes from

    Leopard sounds too much like Leper

    Lion is too orindary sounding

    Tiger is possible but "OS X: Tiger" just doesn't resonate for some reason.



    Cougar could work though. It will also be the last cat-named release IMO. Personally I think they should go "cute and fuzzy" to bring more chics into the fold:





    OS 10.5 "Wallaby"

    OS 10.6 "Meerkat"

    OS 10.7 "kinkajou"



    Baby Panda...



    Furry Harp Seal...





    ...that sort of thing.









    Mwahahaha!!! *LOL*



    Laughing out loud in a public library isnt the thing to do... People turn heads and seem to think your nuts!



    My guess would be, OS X 10.4 "Tiger".

    You got the quote wrong! It's "Yeah man, there you go." From Red Vs. Blue, episode 2. Best one ever.



    So, what do you think?



    10.4 Bigfoot?

    10.4 Unicorn?

    10.4 Chupacabra/Chupathingy?

    I agree completely. Cougar gets my vote as well.

    mmm... but imagine a nice orange and black, tiger stripe box for OS X 8)



    10.4 Mandalay/Bengali



    although "chupathingy" has a certain ring to it as well....

    Back in September, I posted that it's called "Bengal", as in Tiger - here's the post (http://forums.appleinsider.com/showt...l&pagenumber=2)

    Yes but Bengal is also a place in India. Could be confusing. Why not name it Siberian in that case?



    Maybe they'll start naming OS X after bears.



    Grizzly

    Kodiak



    ...Yogi



    ...Booboo

    Siberia is also a place. It is located in northeastern Russia.

    And maybe calling it "Bengal" with the current "offshoring" of programming to India wouldn't be such a bright marcomm/pr move
