Updates
June 22, 2013: some weeks ago at the WWDC, Apple announced the new name for Apple OS. They briefly considered "Sea Lion." Apple has decided to switch direction. New operating systems will be named after landmarks in California. The first one is Mavericks, a surfing locale off San Francisco.

How appropriate. But is it a "leopard too far"?
By the way, my nine-year-old granddaughter knew of the clouded leopard; she said it was in the National Geographic Almanac. That I did not know.
