The iPad Pro Special Edition Limited, buy two and the accessory hinge ($199 and only at apple.com) and one becomes a type cover for the other.
Otherwise if they did it on a regular laptop it will just look like they copied that one awful dual screen Acer laptop.

When was the last time macrumors was right though

when they correctly predicted every iphone, ipad and mac release in the past 5 years because tim doesn't care about security

though, to be fair, forbes has a better predictive record for future apple releases based on their access to leaks that tim does nothing to stop because of his poor management

iOS 7 follows "good design is as little design as possible". it uses colours, gradients, simple shapes and outlines.

Material is as much design as possible. drop shadows, dramatic space, frivolous animations. it's really bad.

i like them but not mail, weather, and game center

ios icons now have this weird thing that suggest different light angles and shapes. some icons have no gradient and suggest flatness. others have gradients that suggests convexity. others have gradients that suggest concavity.

i guess you have to gently caress up your icons a bit so third party ones don't look too out of place, but i wish things were all flat, or were all convex

Raskin had one problem: Jobs regarded him as an insufferable theorist or, to use Jobs's own more precise terminology, "a shithead who sucks".

i wonder who is responsible for this...

quote:

First of all, many of the new icons were primarily designed by members of Apple’s marketing and communications department, not the app design teams. From what we’ve heard, SVP of Design Jony Ive (also now Apple’s head of Human Interaction) brought the print and web marketing design team in to set the look and color palette of the stock app icons. They then handed those off to the app design teams who did their own work on the ‘interiors’, with those palettes as a guide.

if you do the icon wiggle thing on  TV, the settings app's gears move around all weird and illustrate that the gears could never actually function were they real, in the same way that this observation reveals i have 7th degree aspergers.
