My reaction on seeing iOS7 design was that Ive handed it off to the B team. I may have been right: see thenextweb.com/apple/2013/06/… by @panzer
Why does the design of iOS 7 look so different?
thenextweb.com — If you caught Apple's iOS 7 presentation on Monday or have followed any of the numerous bits of coverage, then you know that the home screen icons have quickly become a point of contention. They're certainly a radical departure from the deep and allegory-heavy icons of iOS 6 and they contribute to an overall lighter, brighter and more youthful aesthetic this time around.

Former Palm CEO to Apple on iOS 7: Cupertino, you started your photocopiers
venturebeat.com — Steve Jobs was very upfront about the fact that good artists copy, and great artists steal. According to former Palm CEO - and Apple SVP - Jon Rubinstein, the company Steve started is still a great artist. As is Google, and as is Microsoft.

@pkedrosky cool! will look that up
@rstrohmeyer @venturebeat Apparently there's a kind that's made out of soy, lentils, and a slurry of … something else. News to me!
@pkedrosky it's basically about reprogramming neural pathways for more optimal mechanical responses
@pkedrosky Actually I learned a lot in 2-3 years of taiji study. Totally changed my posture. Want to go back and learn more though.
OH in the @venturebeat office: "What exactly is soylent made of?"
Interesting thoughts from @johnmaeda on how iOS 7 design shows lack of imagination. wired.com/opinion/2013/0…
How Jony Ive's Apple iOS 7 Hinders the Future of Design
wired.com — Not only is the Jobs vs. Ive framing overly simplified, it's also irrelevant to design discourse. Limiting our skeuomorphism and flat design discussion to what essentially boils down to a "do these pixels make me look fat" question is a waste of energy. Instead, design should boldly go where no user and interface has gone before.
@pkedrosky if you studied taiji, you could learn to optimize the mechanical advantage of all those levers. After about 10 years though ...
