The cat is out of the bag.

Think Secret is dishing dirt reporting that the next major OS X update will be code named Panther, blatantly akin to the feline persona tacked on to the recent version 10.2 Jaguar update. A disturbing trend is disclosing itself here. The code name selection process has apparently come under the jurisdiction of the marketing department, rather than the engineers. We can all see that absolutely no good can come from this. No more Danook and Thag. No more Big Bang or Beta Cheese. Wave a fond fairwell to Buster and his Bride. The downward spiral is further evidenced by the animal hide swaddling of the once distinguished OS X trademark which covers the current retail packaging. And don’t even get me started on the navbar on Apple’s OS X page. What’s next? Leopard spots for 10.4? I can’t wait for the Calico release. Meow.
