OS X, LOLCAT: Top 10 Names For Apple's Next Operating System

Lively discussion Wednesday at MacDaily News about the ‘cat-astrophe’ (thanks SMC) at Apple orginally reported this morning on Forbes.

In short, while Apple’s business is going great, it’s running out of cat names for new itererations of its OS X operating system.

Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard, and Show Leopard have all been done. The latest one is Lion.

How do you top that? MacDaily News readers have a few suggestions.

Here are the top 10:

* 10 a Vet - OS X Sphinx
* 9 DavyLow (and others) – OS X Chesire Cat
* 8 SirROm (and others) – OS X Sylvester
* 7 MrMcLargeHuge (and others) – OS X Liger
* 6 Jon (and others) – OS X Hobbes
* 5 Manny – OS X Lion-o
* 4 MrMcLargeHuge (and others) – OS X Tigon
* 3 dinjin201 – OS X LOLCAT
* 2 By popular acclaim, via the MacDaily News poll – ‘OS X Sabretooth’
* 1 Correctu — ‘Mac OS 11 will come after 10.9… it will be called Chilito‘

'Hobbes' fits perfectly with your 'tigger.'
