Apple's Yerba Buena Decoration Shows Stretched iOS Icons, Possibly Hinting at Taller iPhone 5

It's about priorities and core values.

Pardon my language, but goddamn, that was a good post.

Agreed! Thanks for bringing out the big picture perspective. I got tired of arguing details with him.

Just a moment ago...

Beautiful! Nice job!

What camera are you using? That's a fantastic photo.

I know you probably didn't mean it this way, but can't help but read it as "Nice shot! You must have a nice camera!"

I have to admit, I'm curious what camera and settings myself. ISO is turned up, so perhaps no tripod.

If I had only delayed my trip to SF by 2 weeks, I could've gotten that shot. DOH!

Take 2

Can you post the camera and settings?

Thanks. I spend too much time thinking about this stuff.

Details are important too, of course, and it's OK to have differing views on this stuff, but without looking at the macro scale it's easy to get lost.

I find, whenever a discussion point seems to not be moving along, when no progress is being made in getting a clearer understanding, it's usually because we've lost sight of what it is we're really talking about. When that happens it helps to take an overview of things - often times you'll find out you weren't really disagreeing at all!

View from Flyover Maps

Is anyone here a developer that can see the "flyover" version of Maps in iOS 6?

here is Bing's bird's eye of Yerba Buena. Tomorrow, they will have an updated satellite image of the center and you'll see the much debated icons in their glory.

I think all of the icons on the left side are upside down. not just the game center one.

How did you sneak past security?

what do you mean?

It's for people on the roof

It would look just about right if you were leaning over the edge while standing on the roof.

Hmm, interesting.

Can someone do this to see what it'll look like.

Lol, a ******** of them.

Now go back and study your 4th grade math.

YOUR COMEBACK WAS LAME AND BORING... So lets get back to talking about long iPhones ...lolol

Sure, no problem.

Lesson 1.

L x W = A

If L increases, A increases.

Therefore, an increase in L means A is larger assuming no change in W.

Longer is larger.

Longer is larger.

NO! larger implies a proportional increase... if only L is longer hen apple should say "we made the screen longer" but they dont want to cause they know its lame as hell..

I think you may be right. I'm certain the iTunes icon is upside down, anyway. See my prior post on that.

No. No such definition of that word exists. It's like you stopped at 5th grade or something. I'm done with this.

So what was the final take on this? I did not see anything in the keynote that explains the flags...

Just the colors of the different iPods that were announced.

So nothing on the mystery app(s) or why they were upside down? Maybe the folks that hung them really did make a mistake.

yeah you need to be done cause you sound as lame as apple only increasing one dimension and saying its bigger no its longer..

Haha, still missing that elementary math I see.


In the meantime, my new LARGER iPhone 5 is on its way and will arrive on Friday. It'll be interesting to see how the LARGER iPhone feels in my hand.
