Apple Nears Completion of WWDC Decorations at Moscone Center

Apple has listened to feedback before very often. So to say it won't be coming back is quite humorous. Not saying it defiantly will but the fact you are so sure is what is humorous.
And he's incorrect in his article. He mentions the WWDC 2011 invite had a hidden animal (a lion) as they announced OS X Lion at WWDC, but they had already announced it the year before at a Back to Mac event in late 2010.
After looking at that link, it is clear to me that the WWDC logos don't have any hidden meanings at all!
Edited to add: Sorry but I can't see a lion in that image. Looks more like a lamborghini, or perhaps a swimming pool.
Yeah, after the fact people will get their brain to find something that sort can resemble something related to what they heard and they then attribute it to being there as a hidden meaning type of thing.
"The logo had colors and then the phones were released in different colors!"...we can discount the fact that some previous logos had colors too, which carried no meaning except well to simply be colorful logos as practically most in the world are and have been for a long time. Or "You can sort of make out a left leaning 5 in the middle somewhere", because, you know, no one would have suspected iPhone 5 to come out that year and so it was "hidden" because it would be unexpected...and then it wasn't even mentioned at WWDC anyway.
If anything the article makes more of an obvious point that there simply isn't any sort of hidden meaning in most cases, just some related imagery at best (which wouldn't really be hidden anyway).
I LOVE how so many people posted an awesome picture with there post. Any way Apple sure knows how to decorate those look awesome

They listen to good feedback, like all good companies. They don't listen to whiners who can't handle change. They are no more likely to listen to the button border crowd than to the people who want the old Mac Pro updated.
becuase its true!
really made me laugh... for a measureable amount of time too! Its funny becuase its true!

Yeah that made me laugh a lot to because it is true! I wish people posted awesome pictures like this in all the threads.
Pretty obvious those split panes represent windowing in iOS8. How obvious does it need to be.

You never really know. Design fads/fashion change and things can come back in slightly different forms perhaps over time. There's also the fact that Apple actually added a (rather poor) option to have outlines for button elements in Accessibility settings in iOS 7.1, meaning that they realized or started to realize that there was something to it all after all.
I can tell you are at least trying to think things through so I will throw you a bone. You just need to learn to deepen your analysis.
The shapes option from 7.1 does not foreshadow a return of button shapes. Rather, it is the proof that button shapes will NEVER return. That option has allowed Apple to do two very important things:
1) Gauge how many people actually care about button shapes enough to turn it on, rather than just how many people whine on the internet. In all likelihood, the number of people who turned it on is about 0.01%.
2) Apple can continue to leave buttons borderless as the critics are now silenced. If they whine, Apple can just say "go turn on the button shapes in settings, bitch".
Get used to it, button borders are over.
