Apple Fan on iOS 7

There is some excellent new design in IOS 7 but the home screen is terrible.
That is why they stopped. OSX is the name of the operating system now. They don't want to ditch the 'X' which is so ingrained now. I thought that was obvious.
On a second note, I wonder what 'About this Mac' says about the version number. 10.9 was the last one. 10.99? Then 10.999? I kid.
10.8 is the current. I haven't downloaded the beta yet, but I'd bet on 10.9 for Mavericks. After that ("Yosemite"?), probably 10.10, etc.
There's predecent all over the place for diatomic versioning (vs. decimal, maybe there's a proper name for it?), but Solaris is a good example for operating systems. Sun went to major rev 5 with the first version of Solaris. Oracle inherited 5.11 (minor rev 11, marketing name "Solaris 11"), and will presumably keep on keepin' on.
It will be interesting to see whether Apple's choices of "inspirational California places" will be the obvious and cliche, or relatively obscure and interesting. "Mavericks", though I don't like the word itself, suggests something more toward the latter. "Yosemite", no matter how deserving, would prove me wrong. Maybe it will be a mix of both.
Either way, they can stick with that theme for a good long time!
If they’re going to reinvent the whole thing, I’d just go for three dots. One dot for low service, two dots for ok, three dots for none, and no dots for none.
I think you meant "...three dots for excellent" or something along those lines.
Great idea though!
