I’ve finally been able to start processing Apple’s overly long WWDC that was packed with celebrity appearances, tons of great software, and Eddy Cue’s horrible shirt. All of my nerd friends are chatting about iOS 9 and OS X 10.11, which is kind of hard to do because Apple hasn’t added ‘El Capitan’ to its predictive keyboards yet.
Try texting your buddy about how stoked you are for the ‘El Capitan’ beta from Mac and it’s automatically corrected to El Capital, which actually might have been a better name for it now that it’s suggested.
This is me in basically every chat window today:
It’s a tiny thing, but kind of totally annoying. You could easily fix it by adding a short cut to El Capitan. Hopefully Craig Federighi’s minions of programers will get around to adding the new OS X name to the keyboard dictionary before El Capital launches in the fall.

During the liveblog Buster mentioned thinking the name Watch OS was dumb. As soon as I heard El Capitan I thought this is much much worse. As a big apple fan who will be talking about this a lot this month and in the fall when it comes out, I think it’s the stupidest name they’ve come up with for any iteration of OS X
Well, it does make sense, at least, with 10.10 being ‘Yosemite’.
its own operating system doesn’t even seem to to know what it should be called
