With every release of a cat-named OS, headline writers make sad attempts at word games based on this. Of course, there are only so many variations on a theme, and they get repeated … often. Here’s this year’s.

Tiger has been:

• unleashed (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11)
• loosed/freed/let out/uncaged (1 2 3 4)
• launched (1 2 3 4)

Tiger also:

• roars (1 2 3 4 5 6)
• stalks (1)
• is poised to strike (1)

Commendable departures from repetition:

• Apple Pins April 29 Date on Tiger’s Tail
• Tiger Spotlight
• Apple to sell Tigers April 29 (cute…)

Engrish variations:

• Jobs claim Tiger is their biggest leap forward in decades (The company is Apple not Jobs though these days few could hold them responsible for that.)
• Tiger was, in one case, lunched.
