    It's a math conference. The 7 and X are probably part of an algebraic equation. 7X = ???

    HA! You've almost got it... It's New Wave == 7x Windows8

    Maybe the the cat titles have come to an end and they will move to beaches or sea creatures. My prediction is that they call the first one Kona (beach). 

    Or Mauna Kea Beach...

    Well, we know it's still OS X. So 10.9. GOOD. Not time to merge yet.

    Nice, clean, simple. But still rich and detailed. Hopefully that's a good sign.

    Also, can anyone help me fill in the gaps in my plan to lift those two signs for my very own once the week's out? :lol:
    Yeah, I think we are looking at OS XI before we see a merge
    People please, how more obvious can it be? 10.9 will be called Sea Lion, hence the wave. :P
    Doubtfully, I think it is just a good backdrop

    The wave is for radio and Apple TV... Radio and TV waves
    The graphic found behind the "7" and "10.9" is a speaker.
    Even the "W's" and "M's" of the WWDC logo look like radio waves or sound waves.
    That is a better interpretation of the wave however Just maybe a picture of a star would be better interpretation (light waves = EM waves) However it could be very likely true.

    There was a young fellow named Skinner
      Who took a young lady to dinner
    At a quarter to nine
      They sat down to dine;
    At twenty to ten it was in her.

    The dinner, not Skinner --
      Skinner was no beginner...
    He was in her before dinner.

    The Romans invented a time-telling device, the sundial.
    With those Roman numerals on the banner, and rumors of an iwatch, I think the whole new world refers to the reinvention of the watch. A new device that can tell time?

    Bullshit.  


     


    If Nazi (basically just the swastika apparently) imagery is so offensive, why was it perfectly fine to use it for over 40 years since the close of World War II and the defeat of the Nazis?  No one complained about it for 40 years, and then some nervous nellies got all het up about it and all of a sudden it's actually illegal in some countries to post a swastika.  Ridiculous.  


     


    Banning the swastika works right into the hands of the idiots that think is has any kind of "power" as a symbol.  


    It's the exact opposite of the right thing to do if you want people to stop using it.  


     


    Here is one of the worlds most famous Jewish guys doing it the right way (making fun of the swastika).

    Offense is in the eye of the beholder....

    Here's an interesting history:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika
    The earliest swastika known has been found from Mezine, Ukraine. It is carved on late paleolithic figurine of mammoth ivory, being dated as early as about 10,000 BC.


    and a few images:

    What a brilliant analysis and wonderful conclusion that you have come to.


     


    I suggest that you and any others who think like you should embark on a politically correct campaign to censor and ban all Nazi symbols from ever being displayed again.


     


    You can start by petitioning Spielberg, I noticed a few Nazi symbols in Schindler's List. How disgusting is that? Who does that guy think that he is? image


     


    Ever played certain Call of Duty or Medal of Honor games? Oh my, what a despicable outrage! image


     


    Ever see certain movies by Mel Brooks? The horror! image


     


    Do you watch any movies at all?image


     


    It is quite ironic that politically correct people who lack culture and are also ignorant of history seek to emulate those that they claim to despise. You'd fit right in wearing a brown shirt in the previous century.

    Sheer insanity of invading Britain? Had Hitler gone ahead with Sea Lion, the world would be a lot different. 


     


    Britain WAS in a state, but we still had an Empire that spanned 25% of the world's population.

    Damn Nazis are everywhere. image


     


    Maybe somebody can censor and remake all prior works of art that contain Nazi symbols or any references to Nazi symbols in them, so that mentally disturbed people will not wig out.

    It's universally accepted that it would have failed horribly.

    Ah, sorry; I meant the state Germany was in, having sufficiently defeated neither the Royal Navy nor Air Force. Also, I'm not sure the entirety of the Empire would have come a-'calling, but that's neither here nor there.

    My random guesses would be:


    1. iOS might have light-colored default wallpapers, possibly with textures (e.g. the polka dot "7" background).


    2. iOS and/or its built-in apps might have a different system font (the thin Helvetica variant.)


    3. Apple's own iOS apps and icons might be more colorful and translucent, setting an example for 3rd party apps.


    4. OS X might be named along a "Surfing Cat" theme from 10.9 on.





    Other than the last one (which is possibly just the new desktop wallpaper) is pretty much what I was thinking.


     


    Everything else is very airy and light. Plus, the "7" in the banner is also multicoloured in the same hues as the rounded square icons. I think that has pretty much given away what iOS 7 will look like from a style choice point of view.


     


    At least, I hope it is. I quite like it!

    Of course it would have failed, if the Battle of Britain had gone the other way, however...


     


    And sorry on my part, I meant that had Germany defeated Britain, they would have the ability to assert control over 25% of the world's population.

    Oh, nor do I believe that would have ever been their goal. They would have occupied Great Britain the island, but not British holdings elsewhere. The government would've gone into exile, probably to Canada (or India, depending on the need of the situation there), and the poster that has become unnecessarily popular as of late would've gone up across the island.


     


    Capture of Great Britain would've been their bargaining chip to kick the British out of the war, and by that time they would have needed it; the Russians would be bearing down on them. I also remember reading that they planned to give Northern Ireland to the Republic in exchange for continued neutrality.


     


    Let it not be said they weren't ambitious, but strong enough ambition is borne of some level of insanity.

    As far as I'm aware, the Royal Family (and most likely the government in exile) were going to be shipped to Canada. Although, had he not been in the Caribbean, the Duke of Windsor may have become a Royal figurehead for Wales, Scotland the north of England (much like southern France). But I generally agree, it was the failure to conquer Britain that contributed significantly to Germany's inability to conquer Russia.


     


    Perhaps it would not have been an immediate goal to 'conquer the world', but given the opportunity I doubt they would have let it pass. 


     


    And oh no...not 'Keep Calm and Carry On'...:(

    Personal attacks based on my station. Anything, pulled from anywhere, with any connection to reality or truth, simply for the sake of attacking.


     


    You know, I always let that stuff directed at me slide back when. That was by choice; I don't choose to now. imageimage
