According to this rumor, Apple is already developing OS 10.7. Any speculation on its name? How about Lion? Ocelot? Tabby? Garfield?

This may be enlightening.

(I've often wondered why the cat namesakes of the various versions of OS X do not grow in stature as does OS X, itself.)

They seem to be moving in the direction of more and more endangered species.
I hope that this isn't an omen.

Since Steve is an endangered species it may very well be an omen. frown

(Are either lynx/s/i [?] or cougars endangered?)

For all endangered species, check out CITES site at
http://www.cites.org/eng/disc/species.shtml

Appendices I, II and III to the Convention are lists of species afforded different levels or types of protection from over-exploitation:
