Fuzzy design.
Well call it UI design, the typography / icons and graphics in general look really mediocre. Change is good, but this is a change for the worse. Fuzzy design is what I call it! 'Svelte' is a joke. It is a cliche idea of designy design for lifestyle magazines. The font is so thin, it lacks contrast and is hard to read. Looks weak. Not to mention the 1950's theme and horrible hue's in the control panel. Look at the presentation again, and spot the inconsistency in the use of design elements.
My first Apple was a G4 mac. That time was the start of the Steve Jobs evolution. Apple products have changed over the years in a logical and consistent way with some minor hiccups along the way. This new 'direction' is just random and does not differentiate apple from the rest of the market. What I loved about apple WAS the sophisticated UI design of Mac Os X and that we could laugh at Windows trying to emulate this but failing year after year. Apple is no longer superior. It has lost it's cool... Mavericks, sounds so lame. Brrrr...

Funny, I didn't say I was against downsizing the mac pro or advancing the function of the design. But when it come's to basic aesthetics of the object, it just does not look good. Sorry but I am allowed to express what I think, and I am just calling it as I see it. It reminds me of a black plastic wastepaper can, or an ashtray... this is also design, this is also communication. This is what I see, plain and simple. I would not like to have this on my desk or even underneath it. Apple has been mastering the art of industrial design creating products that look and feel good, this looks like a toy from star wars. Terrible. I bet you love the new Airport as well, haha.
Well see, what you've put now is constructive. Saying it's "gay" and that a man wouldn't like it isn't.
For the record, I'm a man and I think it looks great.
Hmmm.. I never thought of that! But still, the CDMA model is much less widespread.. I doubt if it really matters anyway haha
You don't want true multitasking, because some stupid app would empty your battery in the background. You want a sort of multitasking, that emulates the effects without providing the actual technology. True multitasking is not suitable for mobile phones and other small battery devices. Apple knows that and therefore invents new kinds of multitasking. You should be thankful for that. It's called innovation.
Yeah, sure. You probably don't want your notebook to support true multitasking either - after all, it's also a mobile device that runs on battery power...
What Apple does here is not called innovation. It's called finding shallow excuses for the lack of features that ALL other mobile phone platforms provide - from Windows over Android to Firefox OS and Ubuntu Touch.
why didnt nobody comment on the mocking they made about skeumorphs in previous version. Lets be honest, as fun as it sounds that they were making fun out of Forstall, they were actually making fun out of Jobs's also. He was the one who approved that style and now 2 years after his death they start making fun out of it? Stay classy Apple.
I know you were being sarcastic about notebooks there, but it actually seems like Apple is moving OSX in the same direction of how iOS "multitasks" from what they were demonstrating of Mavericks yesterday.
It makes sense to me. I've honestly never come across a situation yet where I've needed true multitasking as opposed to what's implemented in iOS. What are the situations where the current system doesn't work for you?
This is no multitasking that apple provides. Real multitasking is window next to/over window like Android and Surface already offer. This is just some sort of "MultiLining", have a line of apps and have it open only one at a time. This was acceptable 2 years ago but not today.
I do not understand where they say the new iOS 7 does not support true multitasking. I am using my stock Android JB phone right now and the multitasking on this phone works the same way as the multi-tasking presented in the brief yesterday. I do not see a difference.
iTunes radio could theoretically access a greater variety of music than either of those in more countries. Not sure if they are going to make use of their repositories though.
I am not sure that on my Android I have two apps open side by side - even with the a 5 inch screen.

I think the point being - as I work my stock android phone now -I do not have side by side screen of apps - nor would I want it as I could not use them reasonably at the same time. However, I can scroll through open apps and get the refreshed and current just like the Apple iOS 7 demo yesterday. On a phone that makes sense and for an tablet. Per the demo yesterday - the running apps could still send updates and notifications to changes in status if you were actively using another app - which sounds like multi-tasking to me and is what I have on my Android JB phone.
well then i have no idea what the hell was i seeing but i could swear i saw it on nexus 4. I'll check with my friend again and let you know
The point being is that no stock Android has split screen to see two applications together.
The multi tasking cards is a totally different thing
It uses specialised hardware called WifiDirect to setup an ad-hoc network, technically it is WiFi but because you don't see it on your WiFi list many are claiming it doesn't use WiFi. The main reason for requiring it is probably speed, and the second is probably profit.
