10.10 is gonna be nuts

markers, Thursday, 1 May 2014 13:45 (twelve years ago)

i hope it's not terrible because the ui of 10.9 is so much better than the ui of ios 6 and is in much less need of a redesign than that was

markers, Thursday, 1 May 2014 13:46 (twelve years ago)

do you think they'll ever get over "OS X" sounding cool and just move to "OS 11" when there's a major feature change?

a strange man (mh), Thursday, 1 May 2014 13:51 (twelve years ago)

i don't know. it doesn't seem like it. like, what would that change be? for them, os x is the same as ios insofar as it denotes the operating system itself. whatever comes after that is the modifier.

markers, Thursday, 1 May 2014 14:07 (twelve years ago)

you know? like, ios is the thing. os x is the thing.

markers, Thursday, 1 May 2014 14:08 (twelve years ago)

you're not one of those horrible people who pronounce the 'x' as a letter, are you, markers?

a strange man (mh), Thursday, 1 May 2014 14:09 (twelve years ago)

i don't think so

markers, Thursday, 1 May 2014 14:09 (twelve years ago)

it's a roman numeral, I mean

a strange man (mh), Thursday, 1 May 2014 14:11 (twelve years ago)

i totally am. it's more fun!

Nhex, Thursday, 1 May 2014 14:14 (twelve years ago)

os x gonna give it to ya!

Nhex, Thursday, 1 May 2014 14:14 (twelve years ago)

well, can't argue that

a strange man (mh), Thursday, 1 May 2014 14:15 (twelve years ago)

I keep thinking they're going to do something phenomenally silly, like "OS X 11.0"

a strange man (mh), Thursday, 1 May 2014 14:15 (twelve years ago)

I have been saying it like the letter X since 2001, thought that was common. how did The Jobs say it?

stet, Thursday, 1 May 2014 15:00 (twelve years ago)

do you also pronounce "OS" as osss as opposed to oh-ess

a strange man (mh), Thursday, 1 May 2014 15:01 (twelve years ago)

oh-ess-ecks

oh-sexxx

Euler, Thursday, 1 May 2014 15:10 (twelve years ago)

The times, they are a-changin’.

PR reads her attendee briefing shocker.

stet, Thursday, 8 May 2014 10:47 (twelve years ago)

The event was held on a Friday, which itself is unusual. It was a “this thing can’t wait until Monday” situation — a fire that needed to be put out before it spread. Non-emergency press conferences are not held on Fridays.

they are if you want to bury bad news you utter idiot

I love that all the gruber/marco/dalrymple types have put up multipara obits about this like any fucker outside of apple and the bloggy zealosphere would have a) heard of her or b) given the slightest fuck that the apple pr person is leaving

sktsh, Thursday, 8 May 2014 11:23 (twelve years ago)

well if you accept the premise that apple is important, this is important news.

gruber realises that. he just has nothing to say and no insight to offer.

caek, Thursday, 8 May 2014 12:13 (twelve years ago)

I love that all the gruber/marco/dalrymple types have put up multipara obits about this

gruber did, the other two didn't; marco hasn't mention it and jim wrote a sentence.

furthermore, they're not writing for the new york times; they *are* writing for a specialist audience that has a much higher chance of being in your categories a and b than the general population

markers, Thursday, 8 May 2014 13:38 (twelve years ago)

these publications are for enthusiasts who, like me, do want discussion of minutia. and this isn't even minutia.

markers, Thursday, 8 May 2014 13:39 (twelve years ago)

in the context of this world.

markers, Thursday, 8 May 2014 13:39 (twelve years ago)

by the way, were you saying the same when forstall was ousted?

markers, Thursday, 8 May 2014 13:39 (twelve years ago)

because people talked about that. and while he ran ios, she ran (runs, presumably) pr

markers, Thursday, 8 May 2014 13:40 (twelve years ago)

if anything, perhaps people should be talking about this a bit more. (again, not in the larger world, but in the tech internet)

markers, Thursday, 8 May 2014 13:40 (twelve years ago)

multiple xps ya, point taken - I'm mistakenly assuming anyone outside the hardcore apple blog audience (who you're quite right, would obv consider it important) is reading these apple blogs
