  • Cputerace, on 06/09/2008, -36/+237Why, does it comes with more Freezing?
  • mayhemchaos, on 06/09/2008, -20/+221I'd prefer OS LOLcats 10.7
  • bSimms, on 06/09/2008, -27/+228Thanks Apple, as if using my Mac needed to be any less masculine...
  • explnx, on 04/27/2009, -3/+135Because if any species exemplifies stability and security, it is the endangered snow leopard.
  • Cozmcphish, on 06/09/2008, -7/+135How about "Liger"?
  • inactive, on 06/09/2008, -5/+113When will we see OS XI?
  • mayhemchaos, on 06/09/2008, -1/+97at least it's not Snow Kitteh
  • kevdotbadger, on 06/09/2008, -1/+87Just a note, it's called snow leopard because it's not a MASSIVE update, its just an update which focuses on stability and security.
  • mrsteveman1, on 06/09/2008, -3/+86Yea man, my Mac just had too many slots and ports, too feminine.

    So, i built my own dick shaped PC case, just so when people come over, they know I'm NOT gay.
  • PhoenixAvatar2, on 06/09/2008, -6/+82The OS formerly known as Mac?
  • peterjmag, on 06/09/2008, -29/+88Does this seriously warrant a submission on Digg?
  • 10001110101, on 06/09/2008, -2/+59This is the new Apple - the one with Steve Jobs at the helm. When they run out of cats, they'll just gene-splice some new ones.
  • kiensoy, on 06/09/2008, -4/+55Cmon it was funny.
  • h3lx, on 06/09/2008, -14/+63So how long till it starts using a "Prince" style symbol in lieu of an actual name?

    "New Mac OS Squiggly thingamabob with an inverted Ampersand sticking out of the bottom of it"
  • geekmansworld, on 06/09/2008, -7/+50This just in: Mac OS X 10.7 will be called "Clouded Leopard", 10.8 will be "Amur Leopard", and 10.9 will be "West African Forest Leopard". We hope that these names will help users avoid the identity confusion usually associated with those boring, hard to remember version numbers.

  • rovsky, on 06/09/2008, -0/+22but...this one goes to 11....
  • zhephree, on 06/09/2008, -1/+23Isn't that what's in the MacBook batteries?
  • feanix, on 06/09/2008, -4/+26Apart from the pussy in the mirror...
  • Coven, on 06/09/2008, -2/+24OSX 10.9 aka "Liger"?

  • lambright, on 06/09/2008, -10/+31What happens when they run out of cats to name it after?
