“I’m givin’ ya one last chance ta surrenda!”
When Apple announce their forthcoming new operating system OS X Yosemite at WWDC 2014, the first thing that came to mind was the Warner Bros. cartoon character Yosemite Sam.
Images of a short hot-tempered cowboy sprung to mind, with similarly Sam-ism dialogue boxes popping up if the user does something wrong.
Nevertheless, OS X Yosemite is allegedly due to be released (for free) in October, but for now users can download the first beta of the new operating system to help Apple improve the OS prior to release.
From the screenshots I’ve seen, Yosemite is bringing OS X much closer to the look and feel of iOS. It also seems very reminiscent, in some ways, to the original first release of OS X (10.1).
I’m still in two minds because I love tinkering with new stuff, but at the same time because I use my Macs for work purposes I need stability.
In other words I can’t really afford to be running OS X Bugs Bunny right now.
On the other hand, I have a good set of Time Machine backups.
Oh the decision!
