Hype from the computer industry always makes things a bit more interesting, but it’s sometimes informative.
Per CNET, an Apple job listing suggests something big will be coming to OS X 10.7.
The listing states the following:
“Are you looking to help create something totally new? Something that has never been done before and will truly amaze everyone? Are you excited by the prospect that what you helped create would be used every day by millions of Apple customers? Then come and work with the Mac OS X software engineering team to help build a new and revolutionary feature for Mac OS X.
We are looking for a senior software engineer to help us create a revolutionary new feature in the very foundations of Mac OS X. We have something truly revolutionary and really exciting in progress and it is going to require your most creative and focused efforts ever.”
The announcement goes on to further describe an ideal candidate having familiarity with HTTP protocols and other Web and Internet-based programming experience, suggesting the next version of OS X will be more integrated in the Web and networking.
Either way, it could be the start of something nifty.
Albeit Apple will now have to ponder what large and deadly cat to name Mac OS X 10.7 ever.
The best I can think of is “ocelot”…
One reply on “Apple posts first Mac OS X 10.7 job opening, cites web technologies as integral to new OS”
It's time for “Lion” 😉
