If I correctly recall the lore, the "NS" stands for "NextStep"; it's a

Actually, I think this is wrong. NS stands for NeXT-Sun, who worked together to establish the OpenStep specification (which is basically what Cocoa is now). NeXT used the NX prefix for their classes, like NXColor (see NSColor documentation).
