‘OS X’ as in ‘Mac OS X’ ?

Ok, we all remember the exiting days when Psystar announced their Open-Mac’s, and the world came to an end. Well it’s been a long time since then, and what’s funny is that Apple still hasn’t done anything about it. In fact, Apple hasn’t even commented on the matter. Onto a different story:

At this moment, Apple is preparing for the large WWDC-conference at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, and included in these preparings are a few billboards and posters, which at the moment hang from the ceiling inside the lobby. Well, tradition has it that every time those posters appear, some sneaky photographer has to take pictures of them and post them onto the web. This year, history has repeated itself and those pictures are now published:

WWDC '08

If you take a good look at that picture, and then take a look at this picture from 2007:

WWDC '07

..do you notice the difference? - hmm.. probably not, but the “Mac” part is gone!

Now I don’t want to get ahead of myself here because, to be honest, there could be any number of reasons, why they left out the Mac. So I figured I’d go through the ones I can think of:

- They left it out by mistake.
- They want to remind us that the iPhone runs OS X as well as the Mac.
- There wasn’t enough space on the billboard.
- OS X is coming to PC’s.

Obviously the 4th possibility is the one I’m all exited about, and it’s the whole reason why I’m even mentioning the whole Psystar-case. Anyhow, I just wanted to share my thoughts with you about this potentially exiting matter, and also remind you that WWDC is this monday the 9th. and it will indeed kick your ass once more!
