OS X 10.10 codenamed Syrah (merged)

[Jamiet361]

Optimisation is needed, especially in the department of memory management. Later OS X releases (10.7>) seem to use A LOT of RAM. Mavericks seems really sluggish on my girlfriends 2010 MacBook with 4GB.

But as others have said, if another Snow Leopard-styled optimisation is going to happen, it will likely be within 10.11 (or 11.1 ).

Either way, I'd be happy with a redesign, some UI elements have been the same since the introduction of OS X near the turn of the millennium...

Memory Management has been greatly improved in Mavericks.

Nice try. That's iCloud.com Mail, and it's very easy to photoshop the 'traffic' lights into the upper-left corner.

Also, that's ML's desktop background.

Yes, but I think it really isn't too bad looking. The only thing I'd want to see is more of a header bar.

Eh, memory compression is really just a bandaid over the problem, hopefully they'll fix the underlying cause in 10.10

lol, sure you did.

I do think it'll look close to that though.

I'm betting OS X is dead and OS XI will take over!

I don't like the 10.10 name... Seems like it should tick over to 11.0

I can hear Phill Schiller saying this:

We've come up with the perfect hybrid of our OS X and IOS platforms, our next OS! OS XI

The version number is meaningless anyway. They refer to the latest release by its name. Craig just kept saying Mavericks during last years keynote. There is no need to focus on the version number.

OS X will be around for a long yet - it's a brand name after all.

OS X {insert California-themed name} will be the next release.

No doubt they will build upon the changes they made in Mavericks, which were pretty substantial.

What exactly is the issue with memory management?

OS X Yosemite WWDC Banner

I was searching to see if the banners have been put up for OS X at WWDC today and saw this image. It's cropped weird and looks a little off but it might be real. I think that the picture is of Yosemite, maybe that's what they'll be calling 10.10?

I downloaded it and the metadata is from a real camera, maybe someone just saw it and uploaded a photo.

Spot on, good eye.

Yeah I noticed the white in the X is way off from the rest of the photo.

I'm sure it's fake now.

I'm sure it's fake now.

Yes, because you made it.

File systems in OS X 10.10

The next big change that Apple needs to bring to OS X is a new filesystem. …

Wonder whether something will be done with the Location independent files patent.

Is this not a picture of the Yosemite National Park in the background? And why should they use this picture, if they can use some other pictures?

Apple has not only registered the Yosemite trademark, they used this name also as a codename for Mac hardware.

 

[Quad5Ny]

EDIT: Looks like Yosemite is the new codename. Picture still looks fake though, the banner on the MacRumors front page is a completely different image.

---

Ignoring the lack of reflections/shading on the "banner", there is aliasing from transforming the picture to fit (see red arrows).

 

[macuser453787]

I don't want to do my work on a "mobile OS". What's with this obsession that both OSes should look identical? They already share more than a few similarities, but they both have a completely different purpose.

Yes, what you said. I get making Macs and "iDevices" function well together, but homogenizing the UIs isn't a good move IMO.

OS X Yosemite vs. OS X El Cap

What name do you like more?

Note: For those that do not know, Yosemite is pronounced "Yo-sim-it-ee"

 

[chrisaster]

I hope they don't get rid of the animations,

Mission control, genie effect etc

I personally would prefer if the functionality if OSX was pushed into iOS and the flat design was brought onto OSX

because it is.

A sign of OS X 10.10:

10.10 for 2014 already? I hope not.

I think Apple should go back to 2 or even 2.5 years cycles for OS X. One year cycles may be ok in the fast moving mobile world for iOS in tandem with new iPhones but it's overkill for a more mature OS X in my opinion.

When some of the ten advertised improvements in 10.9 are "Maps", "Books" and "Safari" improvements you know Apple has run out of ideas. In my view, these apps could have been added to 10.8 easily...

http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/

After all, the entire app store was added to 10.6 without a problem in a point release.

I'm still on 10.6 and will have to move to 10.9 (reluctantly) soon because more and more software titles won't work on 10.6.

Uh, Timer Coalescing, Memory Compression, etc.

Apple has done some impressive under the hood things. I'm amazed at the memory performance that they brought to the table, compression is not new, but the Macs implementation makes the machine perform as if it has almost a whole extra gig or two in it.

The mission control animation has been terribly buggy since the first 10.9 beta. Might as well get rid of it if they don't want to fix it.

Edit: Nevermind, thought you meant launchpad.
