It's been a long time since Mac OS 9 was released — in fact it's been more than 10 years. Orbiter suite mac os. Since 2001, Apple computer has released versions of Mac OSX software named after big cats: Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, etc — up until now, with it's release of Lion. While most software companies are increasingly quick to jump up a full number version, Apple, with Mac OSX has held the record for the longest running number-version by a long-shot: (Mac OS 9 only lasted from 1999-2001; Mac OS 8 from 1997-1999 and OS 7 from 1991 to 1996). So by all accounts, it would seem that it's time for a major upgrade….
Introducing:
SPHINX.
With the face of a human, and the body of a lion, Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt has the distinction of being both oldest and largest known stone statue in the world. Peached at the foot of the famous Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the massive limestone structure has mystified generations for more than 4500 years. Although the age of the Sphinx remains a highly-debated topic (ranging from 4500 to over 15,000 years old), ALL creditable historians agree that it was built well before the neighboring pyramids. This easily makes the Sphinx by far the oldest (and except for the Great pyramids themselves) the largest intact (not in-ruins) man-made structure on earth. What is far more open to speculation are the widely-popular claims that buried under the sphinx's paws, lies the Hall of Records. The Hall of Records, according to many sources, is massive library created by the Ancient Egyptians with scrolls written on papyrus, attempting to catalog all human knowledge at that time which it was written (much like the tragically lost Library of Alexandria, but pre-dating it by several thousand years).
Like so many people, I have many ideas about the Sphinx — and while most of them can't be proven, they can't be disproven either. So goes the ancient, ongoing riddle of the Sphinx. So despite what your own personal views are about the legend of the Sphinx — one thing about it I AM willing to say about it, is that it would be a super-awesome name for Apple's next major operating system upgrade!
Why Sphinx?
I think most people would agree that Steve Jobs is fond of big cats: Lion, Tiger, Leopard , Tiger, Panther, Jaguar…
These are all names which have been given to the Apple Macintosh computer operating systems since the initial release of OSX (OS 10) in the year 2000. As the code was completely re-written from the ground up, and based on Linux (which it not been previously) this was a major, major shift from Apple's previous operating system (Mac OS 9). But instead of making the somewhat obvious choice of naming the brand after a different kind of apple (i.e. – Fuji, Ambrosia), Mr. Jobs decided to continue with the Macintosh name. But in doing so, perhaps to make sure people got the message that the game had truly changed, he secured a long list of trademarks, and named all subsequent operating systems (10.x) after big cats – starting with Cheetah, and then Puma, etc, and now Lion.
Keeping that in mind:
Big cats in the wild are very difficult to domesticate. Yet somehow, well over 5000 years ago, the people on the land which is now present-day Egypt were able to tame and breed these vicious life-threatening animals into pets. This was no small task — domesticating a wild beast that could kill you in the wild was certainly a great achievement for humanity – certainly something to be proud of. Of course many generations of people have been puzzled by the riddle of the Sphinx – it's specific origins, architects, and motivations behind it's creation, and even age are all topics which have been intensely debated for literally thousands of years, and the mysteries seem to only get deeper and more complex as time goes on. There are literally dozens of different theories, and there are very few points about even the 'facts' of the structure on which all scholars, historians will agree. So I will just venture a guess (one I haven't heard before, but please point me in right direction if you are familiar with a similar hypothesis) that at least part of the riddle of the sphinx may be taken at 'face value'. It is a gigantic mighty cat with a familiar human face. Could this possibly be at least built partially to celebrate the great task of conquering nature to the point of taming the greatest predator in nature into a cute little furry pet, on which we can co-exist with and even see our own 'human' personality reflected back at us?
The far-out theories surrounding the sphinx are seemingly endless, and I will come back to this post with further links about this in the future for anyone interested. But again back to just pure facts: Long before Moses, Jesus, the Bible, Torah, or Koran were even ideas — the Sphinx was standing in the desert. At this time, and place, the country we now call Egypt, and basis for forms religions which we now call Judaism, Muslim, and Christian were just getting started. They stated from here….and then expanded outward from where this structure stood then, and now still stands today. No reasonable person could dispute those facts.
So in conclusion, I would like to say, that if/when Apple is ready for a major OS upgrade, SPHINX would be a super bad-ass name for that operating system.
By the way, welcome my blog — 60% Reality, 40% Fantasy, and 100% Fantasy-Reality.
This is the place I come to give ideas away to anyone who is interested in listening, borrowing, linking or stealing them. My own personal idea-bank, but there is no lock now. If you like something here, take it, and feel free to apply it to anything that might have relevance to you (even including major corporations – I really don't mind). Or if you prefer, read it as a fantasy / comic-book, that is fine. A am a huge fan of Chindogu, and a lot of what I present here will heavily influenced by that — and therefore, intentionally not marketable. However, my own personal ego being what it is — if some ideas herein do slip through the cracks to become reality, all that I ask (or I guess, have already achieved by documenting this) is that I do get proper credit with being the first one who thought of it, or at least wrote it down. That is pretty much the purpose of this blog — just to create a record of my own thoughts, in the order in which they occurred. So please feel free to steal, insult, comment, or link to anything here that is of interest to you….
There will be similar articles coming in the future, and also, I will try to continually go back and add content and links.
Thanks for reading,

Introduction
Back in early November of 2003, I introduced my Mac OS X 10.3 Panther review with some concerns about Apple's OS release cycle.
It's strange to have gone from years of uncertainty and vaporware to a steady annual supply of major new operating system releases from Apple. But do I really want to pay US$129 every year for the next version of Mac OS X? Worse, do I really want to deal with the inevitable upgrade hassles and 10.x.0 release bugs every single year? Is it worth it, or is a major OS upgrade every year simply too much, too often?
In the end, I concluded that I was okay with yearly releases, but that some sort of adjustment for 'normal' customers would be nice.
If there's going to be any consumer backlash, it's not going to start with me. I think Panther is worth the cost, but I consider its price to be an investment in the future of Mac OS X—something I obviously have strong opinions about. I'm probably not a typical user, however. If Apple wants to help ease the burden of the larger Mac community, decent upgrade pricing would be a good start. With a yearly release schedule, that is nearly the same thing as a simple price reduction, but if so, so be it.

With a yearly release schedule, that is nearly the same thing as a simple price reduction, but if so, so be it.
So convinced was I of the inevitability of the Mac OS X yearly release juggernaut that I never even considered the possibility that relief from the $129-per-year Mac OS X tax might come in the form of an extra six-month wait for version 10.4. 'Let's do this again next year' were my exact words at the end of the Panther review.
Temple (saltyn, theludovyc) mac os. Well, here we are 18 months and 6 days later, finally getting a look at Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Windows users patiently waiting for Longhorn may not be sympathetic, but the longer wait for Tiger is something new to Mac OS X users.
AdvertisementTiger's longer gestation doesn't mean that the rate of change has slowed, however. Tiger includes updates that are at least twice as significant as any single past update. Mac OS X is now getting to the point where significant improvements require a larger time investment. As far as the core OS is concerned, most of the low-hanging fruit has been harvested. Now it's time for Apple to get down to the real work of improving Mac OS X.
Tiger also represents a milestone in Mac OS X's development process. Apple has promised developers that there will be 'no API disruption for the foreseeable future.' Starting with Tiger, Apple will add new APIs to Mac OS X, but will not change any existing APIs in an incompatible way. This has not been the case during the first four years of Mac OS X's development, and Mac developers have often had to scramble to keep their applications running after each new major release.
Super Kittens Mac Os Catalina
Despite its NeXTSTEP roots, Mac OS X is still a very young operating system. Most of the technologies that make it interesting and unique are actually brand new: Quartz, Core Audio, IOKit, Core Foundation. The hold-overs from NeXT and classic Mac OS have also evolved substantially: QuickTime, Carbon, Cocoa.
It's tempting to say that Tiger marks childhood's end for Mac OS X, but I think that goes too far. A more accurate analogy is that Mac OS X versions 10.0 through 10.3 represent 'the fourth trimester' for Apple's new baby—a phrase used to describe the first three months of human life, during which the baby becomes accustomed to life outside the womb. As any new parent knows (yes, I am one of them), this is not an easy time of life, for the baby or for the parents.
Super Kittens Mac Os X
It's been a rough journey, but we've made it through intact: Apple, Mac OS X, and Mac users everywhere. Tiger has arrived. Let's see what this baby can do.
