OSX Mavericks discussion thread

[rockymtnhigh]

Creating a thread for the next iteration of OSX, 10.9, now called Mavericks, and apparently now named after things in California.

Here is the link to Apple's preview for OSX: http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/

And scroll down this page: http://www.cultofmac.com/230698/everything-apple-announced-today-at-wwdc/ for the list of OSX features.

Right now it is too expensive for me to upgrade to an Apple computer that would accept OSX Mavericks. OSX Lion is as high as I can go on my current computer & I guess as soon as they stop support for it,I'll drift over to Linux.

I'm in the same boat with my Early 2007 Mac Pro 1.1. I was waiting to see if they announced the new Mac Pro (which they did) but I don't think I will be getting one as it has moved more Pro than the current generation. Maybe the refurbed prices on the 2012 refresh Mac Pros will come down when the Mac Pro R2D2 is available.

I like the multi display feature of it. I'm not a fan of the name though.

How many of those new Mac Pros are going to be mistaken as garbage cans or ash treys by visiting guests?

I showed my boss the picture of it yesterday and he asked WTF it was.

Unless you happen to be a Big Wave surfer (a very small club), you'll more likely associate Mavericks with a Texas NBA franchise.

Just as long as they don't call the next one OSX Cowboys; then it would truly suck and be like Windows ME, Vista, and 8 (this coming from a Dallas Cowboys fan).

I don't get the Mavericks thing being a California thing, but who cares really? Will they have OSX Reseda? Or OSX Zzyzx?

Mark Cuban likes the name... nuff said.

Marvick is a surfer thing. It has some of the biggest surf plus the deadliest as some of the best surfers have died trying to ride the waves.

Ok, now that makes sense!

What ? They got rid of that ugly-*ss theme for the Calendar app ? I'm shocked....

I want to see how much lag there is using an AppeTV as a display. I know using AirPlay that it isn't instantaneous via WiFi, but a 100% wired connection should help. Still, the AppleTV has a maximum of 100 Mbps wired. Apple TV 4 with 802.11ac, anyone?

 

[lparsons21]

Whatever the lag time might be, my experience using the AppleTV as a display shows me that it is barely noticeable at worst, and not noticeable at all at best.

 

[rockymtnhigh]

I never notice any lag from my wifi to Apple TV via ML. Of course, I have an Airport Extreme sitting adjacent to the Apple TV.

I like it quite a lot.

How many trash cans have apple logos?
