Posted in Apple/Mac, Fun, iPhone, Technology Maybe my guess for the next iPhone to be named iPhone 3G SS isn’t so far off after all… 😉 And sure, I can see why you would like to name something after great mighty cats.īut, what I really think, is that if you’re going to name a product line of any kind, don’t you just stop a moment to think, to contemplate:Ī) Have anyone else used this naming convention?ī) Could there be any kind of negative connection? I’m really not sure where all this comes from, and it might just be coincidence – trust me, I’m not implying that Apple is some kind of Neo-Nazi movement in disguise (thinking about when especially the Tiger tank was mostly active). 234/2 “Puma” Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar Tanks: Jaguar 1 and Jaguar 2 Mac OS X 10.3 Panther Tank: Panther Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger Tanks: Tiger 1 and Tiger 2 Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Tanks: Leopard 1 and Leopard 2 Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Haven’t found the corresponding tank yet, but I’m sure it exists… 🙂 Really In German armored vehicles and Apple Mac OS X all these are listed, but please allow me to present a short list: Mac OS X 10.0 Cheetah Tank: Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer Gepard (Gepard in German means Cheetah in English) Mac OS X 10.1 Puma Tank: Sd.Kfz. When I got back online, I did a quick search, and Internet being what it is, naturally I hadn’t been the only one thinking about it. Names of tanks and operating system versions Not being just a man, but a computer geek as well, it hit me that the name of German tanks are the same as the name of OS X versions.
Big men talk about big guns, right? So, we were discussing different German tank models.
We were sitting around a table in the beautiful Swedish archipelago, having a drink and chatting a little. Apple Mac OS X versions named after German tanks? Published on Wednesday, September 2, 2009ĭuring this summer, I realized that Apple’s naming of versions seems a tad odd…
