Please, please, please Jony don't turn my beautiful Mac OS into blinding white apps and cartoonish icons. Stay on hardware and leave software design to the pros!

Apple's WWDC 2014 to Focus on OS X 10.10 as Apple Pulls Resources from iOS 8 to Help

Sure, and they do. Apple employees are scattered all over buildings in Cupertino. But how is that a good solution? The point of their new campus is to bring all these people together.
Yes. Apple has a real opportunity to take share from the Windows PC space. Ignoring the Mac so Apple becomes even more dependent on iPhone doesn't make sense to me. The way it's going Apple, Inc. might as well be renamed iPhone, Inc.
Because all the software UI designers that previously worked under Forstall and now work under Ive are no longer pros?
But then your family will only buy one iPad?
And the need for 256 GB...
All that multiple data.
Looks like iOS8 more focus built into OS X...
I wish Apple never did the whole "Bringing iOS features back to the Mac"
The Mac is a desktop, iOS rus on mobile..... the two shouldn't come together, or they if do, they don't bring everything across..
It seems Apple is heading this way... Lets just hope the more iOS features they add, they also give the same ability to disable it on a Desktop OS..
You don't see MS doing this do you... And they won't, because they realize that the two are separate..
Apple doesn't..
either way, just like any new OS X i'm always excited though. Just as long it doesn't take over my life, ts fine.

I understand. But if Apple wanted to go to war with Windows; to take market share away from Windows in any significant way, all they need to do is offer cheaper hardware. Not take resources away from their cash cow.

Only if you've got more money than brains.
Most people wait till they need to upgrade for various reasons. I haven't met anyone that bought a new Mac purely because a new os was release. They either wanted to upgrade for work or there old hardware was dying.
It also depends if Apple puts false limitations on what systems can run the OS. I would imagine all machines from 08 will be culled this time. Despite there being no actual valid reason to do so. They'll probably claim that despite being 64bit, they are not 64bit enough.

Have you not been around here long? Who are these "Most people"?
Personally, I try to squeeze as much life as possible out of my Apple hardware too but the software is pressuring upgrades. Right now, I have a bunch of Apple apps that need me to upgrade for them to run. However, upgrading makes some other software I need stop running.
I think the new game is to build features that can be spun such that they seem crucial so that "we" feel pressed to upgrade hardware faster and faster. I think there's probably also some efforts to make things run less efficiently on old hardware so that it seems "slow". End effect: hardware upgrades. Apple likes hardware upgrades. Lots of dollars in that but not in us clinging to hardware as long as we can.

Under Steve Jobs resources were pulled off one project to help finish another all the time. This isn't new. And for all we know Gurman could be sensationalizing this to make the article more click worthy. He did that with the Greg Christie story making it sound like his leaving was because of friction between him and Ive, then we later find out that isn't the case and Christie supposedly got along better with Ive than he did with Forstall.
No. OSX needs to be flatter. It is dated and would do well with a very minimalist design.
Actually I hope this does make it to the iPad. I am also hoping the bifurcate iOS 8 and allow a work section and a personal section. Sort of what BB does right now with it's OS.
Here, here. When, not if, the iPad goes 64-bit, there shouldn't be a reason why iOS isn't capable of true "multi-tasking". Double clicking, sliding fingers, swiping, etc while trying to communicate with a co-worker on a project impairs productivity. Also improve the camera's on the devices. I once had to use an iPad Air for depositing a few checks, the camera was awful.
As for OS X 10.10 (OS ten ten.ten lol), I didn't complain about iOS 8, but if they do bring the iOS 7 / 8 design aesthetic to the desktop, I'll be disappointed. Amusing that not long ago (10.6-ish), dark backgrounds and overlay's were making their way into OS X. A lot of us liked the look. How things change.
No it doesn't! It is my iPad and the only way to get it is to pry it from my cold dead fingers.
No way i want someone else dirty fingers on my screen!
Am I the only not excited about this idea? I really love Mavericks! far better than the clunky Lion generations. I'm not happy at all about the idea of pulling ideas from iOS which is great for my phone but is a toy system compared to OS X. I'll be one of the very, very slow adopters of 10.10 if it's all about morphing the cosmetics to be more iOS like.
Heck, I am wondering if it would even need to be 64 bit! but I understand what you are saying and I completely agree. Being able to open two windows side by side would be very nice.
What are you smoking? The reality is the opposite. Apple has always said it would not merge MacOSX and iOS. They are both the same OS, but for different devices, and it will stay this way.
MS has changed its Windows paradigm completely in Windows 8 for touch. So they dont realise the two are separate at all. And the result: a failed OS.
