Am I the only one who's not that excited about this banner? I rather think the banner is.. not.. that tasty D:
Got a tip for us?

Not perfect, but will still look good on your MacBooks.

Apple won't open it up that far. Best you can expect is removing non core apps like weather and hopefully plug in support so things can be tweaked to small degrees. All still likely via the App Store etc.

By definition, Helvetica works perfectly almost everywhere. It's one of the most versatile fonts out there. Look around you, its everywhere!
But it sucks on documents. You can't use sans serif on documents.
The 7 is cool, but the background is way too skeuomorphic.
No GSPice. The ladder is really there.
It will happen one day. Count on that. But not likely right now. Tech isn't quite there yeah.
But within 4-5 years tops we'll have the Air and the Retina Pro as the MacBook and MacBook Pro
will apple actually release the final version of iOS 7 to the public during WWDC?
Unlikely. They can't test every possible configuration so the developers are their final field testers
Yep, that's a 7 alright. I'm glad the banner cleared up the confusion of what iOS version we'll be going too
Maybe it is a salute or wave without the head.
as in: o7
Panoramic blank space
I wonder if all that white space is really a projection screen? Otherwise, why so much for just a number? The "dots" are holes so people in the building it is in front of can still see out. They also minimize the affect of air flow behind the banner.

Anyone notice the perforated aluminum background?

New Mac Pro on the perhaps?
Rarely to never so they mix metaphors. Clues about macs tend to stay on the Mac focused banners.
This is likely more a nod to the ideas about minimal and light backgrounds. No more of this heavy linen or some apps in white, some black and some gray.
Of course, why license a font when they can just make a free knockoff? When you give it away for free, you have to make it cheaply!
Here are iPad and iPhone 5 versions of the background for those who want it...
Edit: doesn't look too bad!

I want to google Mozart's ghost.
Or would that be lycos, altavista, anyone else remember iktomi
Thanks, I knew all those bevel, emboss, and drop shadow buttons in Photoshop were good for something.
