I didn't know what Microsoft meant in their description of Windows Phone as "Authentically Digital" until I just saw the ugly bombshell Apple just left.

The new iOS looks half-baked, they can't do anything too bold, else they lose their metaphors, yet they can't do anything radical like Microsoft did without redefining their platform and re-educating their users.

Run away. Fast.

Towards an Applestore? I've been using an iPhone since 3GS, and this is the best release ever. Both in features and looks.

  • You don't seem to understand how design works. Tell me you like those new icons.

    • >You don't seem to understand how design works.

      Yes. Along with those high profile designers in Cupertino.

      You don't seem to understand how design works.

      It's not about "liking" the icons. Icons are not pretty pictures for you to "like" or not. It's about how the thing works, and if they fit their role.

      "Liking them" has little to do with it. If you check top downloaded themes for Gnome, KDE, or Windows theme managers, you'll find out that people "like" all kinds of BS junk.
