FAQ: everything you need to know about OS X Mavericks
Apple’s newest Mac OS, Mavericks, is still several months away. But if you’re itching for information, we’ve put together everything we currently know about the operating system to give you an idea of what you have to look forward to in the fall.
Why call it Mavericks?
Apple’s finally run out of cat names for its OS X updates—sorry, lynx, bobcat, and liger—so it’s on to a brand new theme. Instead, the company has chosen to base subsequent OS X updates on locations in its home state of California.
The first of these is Mavericks, a famous surfing location just southwest of San Francisco.
I missed the keynote: What did Apple introduce?

Among the highlights are better support for multiple monitors and Finder tabs; improvements to performance and battery consumption; new Maps and iBooks apps; and updates to Safari and Calendar.
