“Though OS X 10.9 Mavericks is only a few days old, Apple is unsurprisingly hard at work on the next major version of its Mac operating system, with traffic from the unreleased software steadily growing over the last month,” Neil Hughes reports for AppleInsider.
“Traffic to AppleInsider from Macs running Apple’s as-yet-unnamed OS X 10.10 grew throughout the month of October. In the last week, after OS X 10.9 Mavericks was released, traffic saw a significant increase,” Hughes reports. “Of course, a release for OS X 10.10 likely remains at least a year away, or potentially more.”
Hughes reports, “One thing that is known about OS X 10.10 is price: Apple indicated in this week’s quarterly earnings conference call that like Mavericks, all future releases of its Mac operating system will be free upgrades through the Mac App Store.”
NumVersion structure is as easy to understand as the fact that centralized government planning is wildly inefficient vs. applying free market solutions.
Great, Fwhatever! Let’s apply your infallible, all-encompassing free market approach to the U.S. military. The Republican Party has long supported strong spending by the Federal Government on the military. The last time I looked, we were spending around $600B annually on the U.S. military. Let’s privatize it entirely using “free market solutions.”
You post this crap on a frequent and regular basis despite repeated pleas to cease your attempts to link every topic to your political agenda. You are just frigging pathetic.
Version dot delineation doesn’t really hold to mathematical convention (and anybody who understands math, I think, gets that) I.e. 10.4.5 id not a correct mathematical form but it is fine with “versioning rules”.
I think the majority of people are clever enough to get that v10.10 is 9 versions beyond v10.1
People keep referring to it as maths but in reality it isn’t maths it’s just a numbering system that has been traditionally used in various technical or law books and manuals for ever.
That’s why Apple publicizes the name, not the number.
Except for “About This Mac” under the Apple menu. To avoid confusion, the “name” should appear their as well.
Since it’s going to be free, does it really need to be 10.10? Previously it made more of a statement to increase the version number in line with delineated paid for releases. If they’re going to release regularly and free then why not just add things as and when they finish them? Obviously there may be certain things that warrant a new version (fundamental api changes etc), but otherwise just update us when somethings ready.
Kind of like just releasing single songs rather than clumping them into an album every few years.
I would like MDN to actually update their app for iOS 7 and optimized for iPhone 5 and higher devices. U know similar to the way GOOGLE of all companies have updated their apps.
Apple should move to OS XI and implement some impressive long-overdue improvements under the hood, like a new version of ZFS. As it is, Apple’s continued reliance on HFS puts it technically behind Microsoft’s server-grade ReFS in many ways, including error detection and scalability. But then, Apple seems not to care about the large enterprise market, so it’s not surprising that Apple has not extended much recent effort into ensuring that its underlying file system is the most capable. Apple seems increasingly focused on fashion and low-power mobile devices over Mac performance.
What does it matter if the next release is 10.10 or 11.0? It’s just the next version!
Similarly with updates… 10.10.1 through 10.10.99 or whatever. The numbering isn’t mathematical but what does it matter??
Oh joy! Apple is working on OS 10.10! How wonderful! This ought to make the developers and writers of third party software happy. They can’t keep up with the expense and timeliness of writing new software code because Apple is beginning to change its OSs faster than Elmida Marcos changing shoes. Wouldn’t it be great if Apple would make a stable and reliable OS before jumping into another “work in progress”?
That is going to confuse the crap out of people. 10.10? Isn’t that the same as 10.1? Well It’s really just OS 10, because 1010 binary is 10.
So many people don’t really understand math anyway, so it probably isn’t a big deal.
Sorry, that should have been, “So many people…, that…”
I apologize for the grammatical slip.
There are three kinds of people: those who understand math, and those who don’t. 😆
You mean “10” kinds of people, right?

That’s funny, good geek humor. Their first update will be 10.10.1. If it’s full of bugs they could go to 10.10.10.
The first version will most likely be 10.10.0 – not 10.10

Should be 11. OSX 11.

Until it becomes OS X 10.10.01.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world:
Those who understand binary
and those who don’t

what are the numbers on the left 10, 100? So 80 hits in a day?
Yes I would also like to know. How come @MDN you cut off your image, ill like to see an image that actually says 10.10…
I would like MDN to actually update their app for iOS 7 and optimized for iPhone 5 and higher devices. U know similar to the way GOOGLE of all companies have updated their apps.
ZFollowing Aple’s new ‘Western” naming convention, I propose that OS X 10.10 be called “Rawhide”

Turn it up to 11!
OS XI Apollo?

Elmida? who is that? I remember hearing about Imelda Marcos and her shoes. The rest of your comment is equally flawed!
