Just listened to the podcast. Gruber mentioned the "polarizing" piece extremely casually and basically said he had no idea what it meant. The part about all the leaks being wrong was even more casual.
tl;dr - He doesn't have any good info and we shouldn't read into the comments all that much.

I think it was about the new iOS. I think only the second and third are relevant.

or more importantly
"one source has indicated "all the leaks are wrong" with respect to iOS 7."
I wonder if they'll *finally* improve the Reminders app to be somewhat.. useful..
1. Let me set the size of the geo-fence.
2. Let me set a stretch of road and a direction of travel. I don't need to be reminded to buy something as I walk into a store, I need to be reminded to stop at the store as I'm about to drive by it.
3. Let me set a location *on a map*. I don't want to have all the stores, offices, etc I go to in my Contacts.
4. Let me set generic locations, like grocery stores, gas stations, etc
5. Let me set reminders by both location and dates.. "Remind me to do X at location x, y or z only on monday-friday"
6. Fold Reminders into Calendar. Why should it be separate apps?

I'm not even going to WWDC and I am so flippin excited. Hell I even have to wait till Apple posts the video of the keynote to watch it and I am still *THIS* excited. The only thing that could make tomorrow more awesome is if Sir Ive shows up on stage. Donning white-gold chain mail armor.
That's not a decimal point. It's a number separator. There's nothing wrong with 10.10, 10.8.4, or even 27.0.1453.110.

AppleTV App Store.
That's all I want. That's all you need. In a year it'll be their second biggest revenue stream.

You have no clue how marketing works.I doubt Gruber requested MacRumors post this on their front page.
You ignite a fire and let nature take its course. You can't control the direction the wind blows...

It also would be a huge mistake, color blind people would no longer be able to use the phone.
No update in years is exactly why the need one sooner. The iPhone 5 hasn't even been out for a year, yet you are trying to tell me it requires an update before something that hasn't been updated in 3 years? That makes no logical sense.
I guess I need to remind you, if it wasn't for Mac Pros and other workstations, the iPhone would suck. Every smartphone for that matter would suck. It is because of professional workstations that these are even being built. It is because of workstations that there is content on these devices, that there are great apps, great accessories, and great features.
But we don't have to agree. And there is a specific point here where we clearly don't. You think a 9 month old smartphone is more deserving of an update than a professional workstation that is still using 3 year old components. Ok, fine, think whatever you want. Just go try telling that to the Mac Pro community here

There is way too much purposeful functionality in what you said for Apple to implement it.

I never said that or implied that. It might make more financial sense for Apple, but I never said Apple should ignore the Pro machine. I've been waiting for 3 years as well like everyone else. I hope it's worth the wait.

It was a throw away comment on a podcast. Lasted less than a minute. He wasn't igniting anything. MR is just looking for hits and knew a headline like this would get plenty.
I never understood why Apple haters would spend so much time on an Apple forum. I have no desire to visit Android/Windows forums even though I vehemently despise their inferior products.
Looking forward to the iOS7 announcement tomorrow!!
If iOS7 comes out with the same tired look, it would be a massive letdown after all the hype built up. I really doubt Apple would have managed PR so poorly. If there were no new UI coming, their PR machine would have at the very least denied it and may have leaked real upcoming features to quell the false "new UI" rumours. I doubt that "all the leaks are wrong". We'll definitely see Ive's influence all over iOS7 and probably OSX 10.9
What Apple needs to deliver tomorrow:
-- Refreshed UI to carry iOS for the next 4 or 5 versions.
-- Maps 2.0. They have to address the failure of maps (even if only a public perception failure) and re-introduce Maps with all the problems corrected (including built in transit and probably a new partner for data accuracy)
-- Improved Siri to match Google's speed.
Anything else is gravy but these three are perceived weaknesses of iOS and Apple needs to turn them around and that must be delivered clearly and strongly in tomorrow's keynote.

Based on what I've seen at a couple of Apple stores and if I've offended any middle age women who don't fall into this category, I'm sorry.

Hoping that time comes soon rather than later as well.

Actually, I have to agree with your points, but like with everything in life, there are exceptions. I also find older women learn faster than older men, based on my parents. Again, I apologize if I offended anyone.
What iOS7 looks like http://9to5mac.com/2013/06/09/what-...c-MacAllDay+(9+to+5+Mac+-+Apple+Intelligence)
Those look like ****. Apple would NEVER use those. Nor hire the designer. And if they did, they would sue him/her for wasting their time.
I know these are just mock-ups based on descriptions, but this is the first time I've seen something that really seems to match up with the direction I can see apple heading. The photos app is beautiful.
The wording is WAY too nerdy, long winded and specific - I'm just relieved people like this don't choose the taglines for Apple products... nope, they are probably too busy working on Android, creating confusing menu systems
Also... conveniently fuzzy, that photo - and the machine looks like someone's (very unimaginatively) stretched the Mac mini vertically, and shaded it a bit... it looks GHASTLY!
Naming conventions are ridiculous, man. If GPU was the name of a model of BMW, I could bet you the most dense marketing person could tell you what each letter meant. Since it's a computer, I sense a feeling of disgust instead.
I find this attitude highly disrespectful. Still, I wouldn't expect Apple's marketing to use the term GPU in a banner, nor that form of vocabulary exercised in the picture. Of course, a Mac Pro user might know what GPU stands for, so it'd be relevant to them...
Then again I often see it pushed here that only "people that work with video" are people that need Mac Pros.
