They aren't, actually. The most experienced and successful scrapper is usually a lioness, pound for pound. A female lion will do what a tiger would hate the most: Neutralize its ability to strike stealthily (big cats don't sneak up on big cats) and take it into several rounds of combat. Tigers have neither the skills nor the experience necessary in this area. A lioness is something any tiger would do best to avoid.

In a zoo where figthing experience and stealth is taken out of the equation, my money would be on the bigger Tiger. A bengal Tiger and an african male Lion probably wont meet unless introduced to eachother.

Maybe due to iOS and Mac OS merging eventually.


Guys, you realise that OS X and iOS are already "merged" as much as they can be right ? It's not like Apple is maintaining 2 completely individual code bases here. What can be merged already has been, and the "differences" you see between both OSes are what can't be merged (ie, the UI). On this point, they will never merge. You will never see UIKit's touch based system on OS X and you will never see AppKit's keyboard/mouse UI style on iOS.

Aside from those points, the OSes are the same.

Mountain Lion. It will be the final step in making Lion more cloud based and iOS-like. After that, iOS and Mac OS will be released at then same time with the same name.

Just my guess.


With that reasoning "Clouded Leopard" would be a better choice.

In a one-on-one combat, I'm inclined to say a female lioness stands no chance unless it can get the tiger by surprise.

Wrong. A lioness (female) is trained from birth as a scrapper - trained to take down much larger prey. No matter what that prey is. And trained to take a helluva lot of punishment in the process.

A tiger is not.

Nor, strangely enough, is a lion.

A lioness is not the same as a lion. Lions have an entirely different role and different skill-set from a lioness.

A lion's job is to defend the pride against other lions and to intimidate rivals when it comes to mating. Beyond that, they spend most of their time being lazy, eating, and trying to copulate.

Further, a tiger may have size and bulk, but that is meaningless if you don't have the size and bulk in the set of muscles where it needs to be. And what's more, a lioness will have more actual muscle mass than your average tiger.

Pound for pound, a lioness is the most effective combatant among the big cats.

I like the Mountain Lion idea. Better question would be what cats names are left to choose from?

Nah seriously though, I don't think there will be 10.8, unfortunately. It will cross-breed with iOS to make a universal system. That'll be interesting...
