Mac OS X Naming Scheme/What comes after Mountain Lion etc. [Threads Merged]

It would be silly if they call the next release Cougar. Cougar, Puma, and Mountain Lion are all names for the same animal. I wouldn't be surprised, though, since they decided to go with ML even though they've already used Puma.
My sources tell me you're all wrong. Future versions of Apple's OS (which, for all I know, may not even be called OS X anymore) will NOT be using big cat names. The most plausible replacement I know about is wine names. Therefore, I expect OS X (or XI) "Chablis".
Linux already beat them to that.
I recall reading they had trademarked Lynx, and Bobcat a few years ago. Since they seem to be going to variations with 'SL' and 'ML' we could see Siamese Tiger, Cougar, Albino, etc.
Personally, I like Liger, Gryphon, or TurboLionAlphaForceThrustInfityMax.

You had to drag me back to youtube... Maru, when you have productive stuff to do - and decide instead to watch videos of a cute cat from Japan... For six hours...
OS X 10.9 Iriomote - use that felid quick, before they're gone!
With her on the cover, You would need to add "The worlds biggest Biyatch" under OS X Couger!
