This is not accurate. Yosemite is coming around the end of October, so don't worry..
Here the Brightness indicator with the options Normal, Reduce transparency and Increase contrast for the Dark and Normal mode. (From left to right)
For me it seems to be a bug in DP7. The indicators should always be round.
Maybe there's more dimension to your desktop and greater emphasis on your content. Maybe not. Either way, your Mac experience is unlike anyone else's. What's not to like?
Not developers alone
Eight may be more than 'usual' for an Apple operating system upgrade, but this is not a simple upgrade.
As some of Apple's timeless and essential human interface guidelines have been abandoned by Apple, the company needs more than the usual amount of guidance (through feedback).

Such agreements are more widely applicable.

I hate the parts of Yosemite that are reduced and more rigid.
Got a link handy? Thanks.
New "cancel" icon in Time Machine.
I think that a stop icon would be more appropriate.
app store link
i'm sure the real reason they removed software update in the menu bar was now ensuring if you want to see software updates, you have to traverse the featured page of the app store first, better implicit marketing and app advertising
but anyways not that anyone actually used the menu item to begin with

you can set up automatic app updates and not bother with the app store at all.
Finder crashing when pasting to Downloads
Not sure if this is related to VMWare Fusion 7, but all of a sudden I cannot paste any files into my Downloads folder. If I try, Finder crashes and when I go back to the Downloads folder I have a zero-byte version of the file I tried to paste.
Also, when I try to delete the zero-byte file it tells me that it's in use by another application. WTF?
I uninstalled Fusion (dragged app to Trash) and followed the manual removal process from VMware and rebooted. Still no joy, I can't paste anything into Downloads now.
Downloads was shared by Fusion with my VM, so I'm thinking it's not coincidence that it's borked now.
Anyone else seeing this or have any ideas on where to look to fix this?
Thanks!

This is a known bug and many people have already filed a bug report. On Apple's developer forums there is a thread about it. I don't know if it has anything to do with VMWare Fusion 7. I also have it on my Mac. I will ask others in the developer forums if they also have VMware Fusion installed..
Thank you Petvas! I didn't find anything Googling about it. I won't worry about it too much then, I can work around the issue for now. I can also copy from command line if I have to and that works fine.
Maybe I haven't tried it in DP7 since I got Fusion 7 so it may be totally unrelated.
My gosh some of these new icons look so bad, they look to me like they come from some cheap stock site

i quite like the new Quicktime...
I just noticed when I clicked "About This Mac" that it says OS X Yosemite Beta 10.10 which is strange since that should only show for public beta testers and not developers like me. This happened after I updated to DP7 on Tuesday.
I have checked my current build which is 14A343f which is currently Developer Preview 7 and not the second public beta build that is currently 14A329r.
Have Apple added this on purpose or have something crossed each other?

Developer previews of OS X 10.10 Yosemite are betas
Apple also uses the phrase beta for developer previews of the operating system, for example https://devforums.apple.com/community/mac/betas

Yes please seeing the integration with iOS 8 I would hope both are released around the same date.
iOS 8 comes out in a week. The two kind of go hand in hand. They'll continue to test it and release fixes until the next version of OS X comes out. So... your point?
