I've said I wasn't happy with the path Apple is taking with Yosemite, And I wasn't enamored of the look and feel of iOS7 for the same reasons. Skinny font, little contrast and shades of pastel. All make It difficult on my eyes.
So today I went to Verizon and got a new HTC One (M8) Windows phone. Wow, what a sweet phone!! Real colors and contrast, a 5" screen that Is a little bigger than I had planned on getting and it is FAST!! Faster with Windows than with Android which this phone also comes out With.
I had to buy a couple apps, but they were mostly cheap and I've got Everything I actually use covered.
BTW, Cortana is very nice. I've seen the ads about it but haven't Played around too much with it yet.
Next up is selling the MBPr... :(
What path is Apple taking Lloyd?
flat, pale coloring, lack of contrast, skinny fonts. All UI changes that are on the way and started with iOS7.GaryLloyd Parsons
I dont remember Apple telling us their path for the future.
Then you don't pay good attention.GaryLloyd Parsons
Why are you selling your MBP?
Because I want to.
so your bothered by a lil colour change and fonts change and lack of contrast.
Sorry lloyd, your being rediculous..Never mind how the operating system performs...thats not important it seems, your in a tizzy over skinny fonts.STFU Gary!
For all the things I do, Windows and OSX are equal, it is all about the look and feel. So how the OS performs isn't an issue at all since there is no discernable difference.
It's possible that all the feedback Apple gets from the beta overwhelmingly agrees with you and in that case Apple might make some UI changes before final release.Maybe. But Ive is in charge of this and he loves this shitty look. And reading in forums that discuss this kind of crap all the time, there seems to be as many that like it as don't.
Will they make a significant change before release. NO. They have made small improvements though, and that is really all you can expect at this point.
On the second point, unless your in the top meetings at Apple Lloyd you are as clueless as the rest of us the the path Apple is on so no more attention that i already pay needed.Sure, I don't know all the insider crap. But it isn't brain surgery to see the path Apple is taking with the UI. If you don't see it, it is because your head is up your ass, and possibly up Apple's too.
Of course, you could image a future path in your mind but that is not necessarily going to be true.When it comes out in release and you see it is true, I fully expect you to come here and kiss the crack of my ass!
