Yes, really. I'm talking strictly how the software/hardware looks & operates. Other people within Apple take his ideas and make it a reality. No need for him to do the programming / fabricating himself.
Thank you.

WWDC logo makes sense now. Signaling a dedicated color for stock apps.
Because they've never used these color before such as last years logo?
I haven't read more than a few postings but it's a rumor on the design and last years logo didn't mean anything either.
The "Designers" in this posting have really made my day. To think, I didn't really know what I wanted all this time...
I don't need to see it , it's going to be a required upgrade to run apps going forward , probably make the 4 and earlier phones obsolete and because its a like it or lump it , no choice scenario there is not a lot we can do about it .
Of the 4 options (blackberry/android/windows phone 8 and ios ) it's still 75% better than the first 3 so ill put up with mr Ives device anorexia
Just curious which current hardware product is housed in a thermally inefficient space? Also wasn't it Steve Jobs decision to have everything start with design rather than them coming in at the end just as stylists?
Ive doesn't have anything to do with the components fyi
I know that , which is what I was saying , he makes the case , then some poor hardware engineer has to make the iMac iPhone whatever fit inside it , this is the wrong way around and leads to shoddy hardware and thermal problems
----------
Pretty much all the MacBooks and the iMac , the MacBooks , unless your just browsing flash free web sites and running nothing else are almost always clocking themselves down due to thermal limits being hit
I smell troll, but I'll bite. My Macbook Pro doesn't kick off the fans even a little bit when I'm watching 1080p 40mbit uncompressed blu-ray quality media. The only time I hear the fans are when I'm doing rendering which uses all 8 threads.
I hope not, office 2013 looks horrible to me. not saying everyone dislikes it.
Whatever Ive comes up with, he has to have someone at the helm that will gently sway him to the right direction if/when he falters (we all do).
Now let me ask you all something.
Does anyone really trust a guy (Tim "Sculley" Cook) who proudly claims he only uses an on screen keyboard to have the good judgement to do that?
-------------------
P.S. I am really discouraged to read about white backgrounds, as much as I disliked the yellow notepad, shades other than white make for better ergonomics in terms of reading an lcd screen.
And now I said, a really, really dirty word for Joni which I hope won't come back to bite us all in the ass now that he's taking care of ui design too.

I don't get where this 'they're copying Microsoft' attitude is coming from. It's not like they created the minimalistic look in software and digital media. It's everywhere!
Plus, if it's anything like those concepts posted few pages back it's going to be great. It's more like Windows Mobile: what it should have been, rather than Windows mobile copied.

seriously, can't they pull a file photo where Ive doesn't look pissed off?
I feel likeI have to go sit in the corner and take and take a timeout every time I see that photo.

LOL. Thankyou for that, I was slowly losing the will to live from the inane droning of whiners on this thread.
Honestly, just shut the <expletive> up until WWDC.
They hit the thermal limit and throttle far to quickly for my liking , ill admit this is probably because I really need a Mac Pro , not an iMac or MacBook to do what I need , but as apple won't sell me one in the EU I'm kind of stuffed , at the moment I'm having to go through the pain of building a hackintosh so I can get the power I need without the heat throttling
Exactly, shut up. Why bother posting in a forum designed for......wait, nevermind.

Sorry, I don't see how google locks you into an ecosystem.
Exactly - I can't imagine in a million years the home screens will be full of black and white icons. It'll far more likely be a case of losing things like the yellow paper in Notes, and losing the blue top and bottom bars on apps with the black style of the updated Podcast app, or the white of the Music app.
These have become a bit inconsistent across apps, so will likely be unified. Perhaps even be a setting to choose black or white depending on the colour of the phone.
