Apple finally ran out of cat names for its operating systems, so now the latest version of OS X will be called Mavericks. On top of the spiffy new name, it also adds in a lot of new features.
The company announced the new software today at WWDC 2013 event in San Francisco. (Read our live blog here.)
Cat Names & Kitten Names. Deciding on names for cats and names for kittens often isn’t easy. Personal preferences usually play a role when choosing cat names or kitten names. Choosing a cat name or kitten name needs a bit less practical thought than choosing a name for a dog or a puppy though, as you are hardly likely to be found yelling your. The history of macOS, Apple's current Mac operating system originally named Mac OS X until 2012 and then OS X until 2016, began with the company's project to replace its 'classic' Mac OS.That system, up to and including its final release Mac OS 9, was a direct descendant of the operating system Apple had used in its Macintosh computers since their introduction in 1984.
Mavericks will be the follow up to OS X Mountain Lion, which came out in late July last year. About 25 percent of all Mac owners upgraded to Mountain Lion in the first six months of availability, which is impressive.
Mavericks will be available as a digital download just like prior releases. Developers will get access to Mavericks today with a final release for consumers this fall.
At a glance, here’s what’s new in Mavericks:
• Advanced multiple display support: You’ll be able to use two displays running on the same OS in more powerful ways. Each display now shows a menu bar and dock. Displays offer independent swiping between desktops. There’s also Airplay support that lets you use an HDTV as a second display. Very nice for productivity and customization.
• Better battery life and performance: In Mavericks, Apple claims it has reduced CPU activity by 72 percent. Waking from standby will be 1.5 times faster than in Mountain Lion.
• Safari update for using less energy and smoother scrolling: “Safari uses way less memory than Chrome, and when you compare it to Firefox it’s just kinda sad.” — Craig Federighi, Apple’s VP of software engineering.
• iCloud keychain for helping you remember passwords: “To really be secure these days you want to have a different complex password for every site you login [to]. And this inevitably brings up the question, ‘What’s my password?’” — Federighi
• Better notifications: You can reply to a notification like mail without opening the Mail app. Push notifications from your iOS devices can be pushed to your Mac now. Push notifications can be shown on the lock screen as well.
