Update:

Over the years, those from Apple they were inspired by nature when they "baptized" operating systems Mac OS X.
At the launch of the first version of OS X, in version Public Beta, Apple they used the name "Kodiak”For the operating system.
OS X Kodiak is very little known to users of Mac Today's OS X, because this system was the pioneer of operating systems Apple. OS X Kodiak was released in September 2000, and the name Kodiak belongs to a weak regions in Alaska, but also of one grizzly bear species who lives in those lands.
Starting from Mac OS X 10.0 and to 10.8, Apple they used a feline name for each version of the system.

Mac OS X 10.0  - Cheetah (March 24, 2001, release date) - Cheetah.
Mac OS X 10.1 - Puma (September 25 2001)
Mac OS X 10.2 - Jaguar (24 August 2002)
Mac OS X 10.3 - Panther (23 Jun 2003)
Mac OS X 10.4 - Tiger (29 April 2005)
Mac OS X 10.5 - Leopard (26 October 2007)
Mac OS X 10.6 - Snow Leopard (28 August 2009)
Mac OS X 10.7 - Lion (20 July 2011)
Mac OS X 10.8 - Mountain Lion (25 July 2012)

Starting with the year 2013, for OS X 10.9, Apple he let the cats rest and chose the name "Mavericks" for this version of OS.
Mavericks is the name of a surfing location in Northern CaliforniaMavericks is renowned and known by surfers from all over the world, who come here every year for a little adrenaline every winter. Or more… If we take into account that the waves that form in winter in the Mavericks are among the biggest and most violent in the world.
Images of waves in Mavericks are present and wait in the default wallpaper list of the latest OS X, El Capitan.

You know, right?

In October 2004, Apple they "flew" from the ocean to the mountains. Yosemite National Parkin North America, would give the name of the version 10.10 a Mac OS X and provide some spectacular background images.

The Yosemite National Park stretches approximately 308 thousands of hectares, with a very varied relief and an impressive biosphere. It hosts many animal and plant species, some of them unique or extinct. Although it is visited annually by over millions of people, the park management and surveillance system 3.7 ensures the protection of this ecosystem, El Capitan.
El Capitan, is not just the name of the version 10.11 and OS X, but also the name of a very famous rocks in Yosemite National Park.

Versailles El Capitan, is visited year by year by alpinthese professionals worldwide. The degree of difficulty being very high, the climbing of the El Capitan cliff can take even more than four days.
Even today, National Geographic has presented some interesting documentaries from the Yosemite National Park, which features the El Capitan rock.
Daca Apple it would have been a Romanian company, the probability of having OS X Babele, OS X Sfinxul and OS X Bucegi would have been very high.
Nothing would be impossible if we take into account recent rumors on the internet that the future name of OS X will be: Fuji. Mount Fuji being one volcanic mountain, located on an island in the central part of the Japanese archipelago.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.
