“Apple’s 25th annual developers conference kicks off next week, and as usual, the company’s spent the past week putting up large, colorful banners all over the Moscone West building in San Francisco,” Josh Lowensohn reports for The Verge.
“That includes large Apple logos to the two sides of the three story building, as well as product banners on the inside of the building,” Lowensohn reports.
One of the banners shown hints at ‘Yosemite’ or ‘El Capitan’ as the name for OS X 10.10:

MacDailyNews Note: This one’s real. We checked. 🙂
I don’t really care what Tim Cook calls 10.10. I do however hope that someone is tasked to alleviate the suffering of enterprise users by fixing the six month IMAP fail in Mavericks.
Screw enterprise users.
What IMAP fail? I have 5 IMAP accounts in Mail and they all work fine. Are you specifically referring to Google’s “IMAP”?
You mean google’s non-standard implementation of IMAP?
How could that cause issues?
Must be Apple’s fault.
*DING* You hit the target.
A troll confusing a google problem as an Apple problem. Ooops!
Apple’s actually been trying to work around gmail’s broken IMAP implementation, not the other way around.
Oh! what suffering! Is your suffering akin to being stoned to death or burned alive in other countries? Poor Poor baby!
IMAP fail? Nope, the bigger fail is the inability since Mountain Lion to search SMB drives on the network. That is an ongoing major headache that has wreaked havoc on our office by preventing Macs from searching network drives on our Windows-based network. It’s crazy and absurd. How can this be overlooked?
I can tell you that Apple is directly working on it. And…
Use EasyFind to search on Windows shares.
Yup. SMB fail.
We ran into extensive problems with file permissions and searching large volumes.
Switch to 10.9, at least that uses SMB 2.
If you’re using 10.8, 10.7 then use CIFS
With 10.6 SMB is ok
“Banner watch” continues…
I predict a banner year for Apple!
D’oh!
I hope 10.10 rocks! Because if they call it Yosemite and it doesn’t – the tech pundits and haters will call it “Yosemite Sam”.
I resent that, ya’ mangy varmint!
From the banner, maybe they’ll call it “Rocks”.
Really? Banner watch continues? Why? Who cares? It’s just a name. Nothing to get excited about. Do something constructive. Read a book. Go cut your grass. Ask a girl out for dinner. Take a nap.
If they named it in honour of deposed Microsoft CEO, Steve Balmer, as a way of saying thanks for his decade plus run of total incompetence, they could call it Mount Baldy.
Hah!
Actually, Mount Jackass would be more appropriate.
Yeah, true, except that Jackass Mountain is in British Columbia, whilst Mount Baldy actually is in California, and thus would fit into Apple’s current OS X naming scheme using California landmarks.
Someone who knows their geography, that’s novel, one might say innovative even. This code is getting soooo complex.
Quite right, according to my Cliff notes
It’s just symbolic for Windows going over a cliff.
Yosemite Sam!
Just an FYI-
Yosemite was the product development code name for the IBM PowerPC 603 CPU that was used in the G3 Blue & White tower back in 1998.
This could be a hint that ARM – RISC based CPUs will return to the Macintosh.
Wow! The depth of your knowledge is impressive. You either put a lot of thought into that or got ahold of some of that really good medical grade shit.
Thanks, I’m feeling better now and I’m still on the meds.
I worked at the IBM plant where they MFG ‘d the PPC 603 in ’98. It was great fun seeing the shift from Moto 6808 to PPC. Then it almost looked fatal for apple when their stock bottomed out near $7. Lots of talk about death watch back then.
Kewl comment about Yosemite

OMG shut up already comment about ARM Macs.
Will MDN be posting cliff notes?
Actually, who cares what they call it? Just so long as it works. Preferably, better than Mavericks.
