Apple unveils OS X 10.9, “Mavericks” | Ars Technica

[chscag]

I feel insulted. They should have named OS X 10.9 "Longhorns" instead of "Mavericks".

Remember the Alamo!

Grin at Chscag!

How about OSX Cloud/Touch as I am sure that is coming next.

How about OSX Ban Hammer in honor of Van!

Sad they couldn't come up with one last "big cat" name. Without the big cat name, it just isn't quite the same...

[dtravis7]

I was hoping for OSX House Cat in honor of my pets that many here on the forums hate!

Oh well, no more cats. That will make some happy but not me.

Was there any mention of system requirements? I am liking some of the new features but would not be surprised if some of them do not run well on my MB Pro.

[Raz0rEdge]

No mention of system requirements Sly, and I couldn't expect those to come out till later when it's ready for release..

On the name, they lost a golden opportunity by not embracing the meme of choice by not going with OS X 10.9 Grumpy Cat..

So will the new avatar/emblem have a two-headed beastie with Sarah Palin and John McCain's faces?

I would have settled for Mac OSX Domesticated Cat. XD

I guess my opportunity to have it named Sylvester with me as the official spokesperson goes by the wayside yet again.

Dang Guess they won't be providing me a new Mac Pro as part of the endorsement deal.

On a side note what did you guys think of the new Mac Pro? I don't like that shape. It's great that it is smaller but that's pretty much it.

Read the feed at Anandtech. The new Mac Pro has no drives and looks like a Paper shredder or trash can. Sorry, that is no PRO machine for Pros. Too much missing and no way for the user to do much. The end of the Pro user support is here. Sorry Apple! :-(

I missed a bit of that part of the video. Feed from the Apple site cut o several times. I know that it is using flash storage correct? So, I assume there are no internal drive bays and all storage will be either Thunderbolt or USB 3.

Apple - Mac Pro

Scroll with your wheel and see what they did . I should move this part to hardware but am too upset right now at Apples decisions here.

I feel the same way! I want the cat back
