“Cougar (Puma concolor), also known as puma, mountain lion, catamount, or panther…”
[ via Wikipedia ]

Does that mean 10.1 and 10.3 were actually the same OS? Sounds like a secret Apple conspiracy to me…

Speaking of spell check, there is a good program Spell Check Anywhere (SpellCheckAnywhere.Net) it adds spell check to all programs.

Dave-O, the Cougar is also known as puma, mountain lion, catamount, or panther.

Here’s an official list of OSX Cat Names:

Version Codename
1.0 Hera
Public Beta Kodiak
10.0 Cheetah
10.1 Puma
10.2 Jaguar
10.3 Panther
10.4 Tiger
10.5 Leopard
10.6 Snow Leopard

As such, the NAME Cougar has yet to be used.

As of 1/16/2009 Disney Proxy Statement Steven P. Jobs owned 138,000,007 shares representing 7.4% of outstanding shares.

All other Board members together own 7.9% of Disney stock.

Jobs is the only individual who owns more than 5% of Disney.

And he is the only Board member who is, at his request, exempted from any compensation from the Walt Disney Company.

Hey, with 138 Million shares his dividend income alone is $48.3 Million a year.

Yeah, it’s definitely cromulent when you’re addressing The Pope. Perhaps you were suggesting the new adamantium MacBook would be divine.

Since the Doc was joking when he equated Disney with Jobs (the way serious journalists shamelessly equate Apple with Jobs), I’m not sure what the nitpicking is about.

We still have Lynx, Cougar, and finally Lion which takes us through 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9, for a new naming scheme to start with OSX’s big OSX1 or OS 11 or whatever.

For the literal-minded, I suspect that the Doc was being a little tongue-in-cheek with his headline. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t think that Steve Jobs sent $4 billion to Marvel via Paypal and bought the company. As he is on Disney’s board of directors, he probably had plenty of input into the decision.

But, Doc, what’s wrong with Thor? He’s my favorite character from Norse mythology and did a fine job representing the Asgard against the Giants. Hooray for Thorsday!
