With the 2010 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) choosing to focus more on the company’s mobile developments and capabilities as opposed to entirely new operating systems, many tech enthusiasts across the globe are hoping for more innovative approach to the 2011 event. After all, the ’11 WWDC would follow the appropriately laid out precedent for new operating systems, with Panther, Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard all approximately 2 years apart in terms of release.Speculation is already underway as to what Mac OS X 10.7 may hold, not to mention what corresponding big cat will be made its unofficial namesake.

Then come and work on with the Mac OS X software engineering team to help build a new and revolutionary feature for Mac OS X. We are looking for a senior software engineer to help us create a revolutionary new feature in the very foundations of Mac OS X. We have something truly revolutionary and really exciting in progress and it is going to require your most creative and focused efforts ever.” Read more »
