Park Sees Big Boost After Apple Names Operating System Yosemite:  After Apple, the world’s biggest tech company, decided to name its operating system “OS X Yosemite,” it sent a wave of free advertising and loads of people to visit the California park.  Good, now if they’ll just consider naming their next update “OS X Greece,” perhaps we can all forget that whole mess.
