macOS 14 Sonoma

As soon as Craig said vineyards I knew that was it.

Also, Craig can use the Force.

Other "big" news as some have indicated below:

Mac Pro (max RAM 192GB)
15" MacBook Air $1300, 13" price drop to $1100
Stickers
NameDrop
Standby
iPad Lock Screen customization
Notes can edit PDFs
Widgets on macOS (hm... wasn't that also true of macOS 10.4 "Tiger"?)

And so on. I'm kind of hoping Apple pulls a cranky Steve Jobs and doesn't introduce AR headsets.

if you make money with your computer, you'll make it faster with a fast computer.

I used to buy mac pros all the time, but I was never a 'pro' user. I just liked fast machines.

I like how the 'pro' line really is for pros now.

My soon to arrive m2 mac mini will kick serious ass - it's more than I need - that's why I wanted it!

I did assume Napa.

Maybe it should have been SoNapaNoma.

Nobody knows.

Yet it's safe to assume many already think it's worse.






I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

I have a friend from Barstow, was joking with him just last night that the new macOS would be called Barstow! I laughed when someone else above mentioned it here also!

How about macOS Death Valley? Blythe? Baker?

Actually, I hope one of the upcoming macOS versions will be called Sequoia


Yes, I also noticed Craig’s skills utilizing the Force, he is a Jedi now?

I think Tim said "iconic California places" when they launched Mavericks. They have gone in a circle from Bay Area coast, to the Sierras, to the desert, back to the coast (Catalina) and up the coast...and then back to the Bay Area. Probably 'upper California' next?

Tahoe
Lassen
Shasta
Trinity
Eureka! (also state motto =)
Mendocino
Cascadia (lol, probably not a good choice.)

That's strictly reserved for the LAST version of macOS ever.

They've been campy with Craig the last few announcements... he was done up like a superhero previously, as well as "Craig Ventura - macOS Detective"

Do folks know why I made the Spahn Ranch reference?

That OS would be full of killer apps, probably.

Ranch

Us native Californians of a certain age knew what you were getting at. It's funnier with the "killer apps" comment included, though.

Yeah, I don't know why the vintage, well aged scotches are so freaking expensive, compared to their newer, longer cask-aged compatriots. But the neuro crud, that forced my on-the-wagoneering, has had the lone benefit of increasing the value of the old booze collection. Substantially, evidently. Frankly, back in my consuming days, I thought the 18 y.o. was better than the 25 y.o., regardless of acquisition cost.

On the Name Game front, how 'bout the lesser-known, but still nice California places......

Pacific Grove, Carpenteria, Muir Woods, Encinitas, Mill Valley, Cambria, Rancho Bernardo, Point Reyes......,
it's like we've got an endless supply of OS names here.
And a personal shout out to (beachside) Hollister Ranch; not to be confused w/ Hollister (sans "Ranch"), the up and coming Gilroy suburb.

(and a far, far cry from the desert, valley digs of the Spahn [Spawn of Satan] Ranch....)

Back in my UCSB days, there was an undeveloped plot of land where I would take dates to park. Moonlit night, ocean view, isolated environs... everything a young lad out on a date with a comely lass could want.
