Am I reading way too far into David's "CoreOS Networking Engineer" title?

  Apple has had a CoreOS group for a very long time. Here's a post from 2008 that mentions it: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-jobs/2008-October/000622.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-jobs/2008-October...

    Ah got it thanks for clearing that up.

    It's had a Core OS group, not a CoreOS group.

      They are interchangeable. It doesn't mean what you're implying. Source: Former Apple employee who has been involved in multiple "which CoreOS?" conversations.

        Exactly. It is Core OS, not CoreOS and it doesn't mean what they think it means. But's that's as much you're going to hear from someone that's actually from inside Apple.

          Yep, core os technologies would be the way to read it.

  Almost any technology low in Apple's stack is called 'Core ...'. A quick search at developer.apple.com yields Core Animation, Core Video, Core Text, Core Graphics, Core Image, Core Data, JavaScriptCore, WebCore, Core Audio, Core Bluetooth, Core Foundation, and Core Media Framework. That convention started with Mac OS X, when they had to somehow unite the low-level technologies of classic Mac OS and NextStep.

    previously they'd call their stuff OpenSomething... OpenDoc, OpenTransport etc.
