San Francisco 13 years ago

I'm struggling to find what this has to do with San Francisco? Are you saying SF has been taken over by hipsters and is no longer recognizable as it once were?

I think this is intended to be comforting, especially for corporate entities as they feel scrapegoated into bad light by the government, but there's very little for the public to acknowledge these numbers. I'm not saying Facebook is lying, I'm saying the people giving Facebook the numbers are probably lying. There's no way to tell.

Here we go again. Not to be cynical, but that's just unfair. Apple has plenty of time improve their icons before iOS 7 releases to the public, assuming they acknowledge it wasn't a brilliant idea to outsource design to the local children's art school.

Statically-typed and speed aren't necessarily correlated. If you want a framework faster than Go, dynamically-typed and rivaling Ruby's development speed, have a look at OpenResty+Lua+LuaJit (And MoonScript if you really want to code fast).

People on here are nuts.

Funny, I think people who LIKE this design are nuts. People are nuts indeed!

How are the new gradients any different than the old gradients?!

OMG?!?111 Well, it's not that the gradients are different, it's that the colors are bright and vivid and each icon has little distinction from the next. Oh, and it looks like something my 6-year-old nephew would draw with his colored pencil set.

Prettier? "Off" means "Make my font look as ugly as Parse's logo".

You just made the most important comment in this entire thread. This should be the top post. Apple: your move.

Ha! Those exact words are going to bite Apple so hard when iOS 7 is released.

Old people love ornamentation. My 91 year old grandmother can barely distinguish buttons on her iPhone 4, I pity how she'll use iOS 7.

Apple will take a note from Xbox at E3 and tell its customers with impairments to "Stay with iOS 6".

Flat has always been about ornamentation and not layers. Plenty of flat websites have layers. Modals. Pops outs. Sliding menus.

I don't know why people think flat is about not having layers. Did Apple just start this bizarre thinking?

That last sentence is so bigoted. If you don't like flat then you're a child? Right.

I don't care about this whole debate, as I like flat and non-flat, and I actually prefer a happy medium.

What I wonder is if OS X is going to adopt iOS 7's new look in the upcoming years.
