Are you sick and frickin’ tired of Apple + Beats + give me a freakin’ break? Tapscape, too. However, Apple won’t be cutting us any slack for the next “X” weeks. And, by “X”, we are referencing OS X 10.10.
And, iPhone and iPad fans, iOS 8 gets an honorable mention, as well.
If you aren’t up to speed with America’s national parks, the above WWDC 2014 banner appears to show El Capitan within the boundaries of Yosemite, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year.
On June 30, 1864, amid the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Yosemite Grant Act to protect Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove. From the beginning, this act was a legacy for our nation — About Yosemite Grant Act 150th Team, United States National Park System
When it comes to genuine fame in the United States, any association with Abraham Lincoln guarantees a second look if not actual mileage.
OS X 10.10: Jony’s First Go
Of course, though OS X 10.10 is expected to be the focus of WWDC 2014, iOS 8 will also get significant stage time. But not Apple’s mobile operating system, per se.
HealthBook and Smart Home — big important initiatives, but not wholesale makeovers — will be Apple’s WWDC 2014 mobile focus.
That said, Apple has promised that all future versions of OS X, starting with the current OS X 10.9 Mavericks, will be named after California landmarks. Obviously, here in 2014, more 150 years after Gentle Abe bestowed his name, Yosemite would be an obvious choice for OS X 10.10.
OS X 10.10: Change the World
Writing the code is what WWDC 2014 is ultimately about. Though self important bloggers, journos and users blithely believe Apple loves us, the Worldwide Developer Conference is about setting the table for the company’s most important collaborators — developers, developers, developers.
How will Jony Ive + Apple rewrite Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite? Most observers are expecting a flatter operating system with a lot less skeuomorphism.
But what about you? What changes do you want to see in OS X 10.10 Yosemite?
