Personally I would rather this direction than 'skeumorphic' design, i.e.
like the way the Apple iReader application looks like a wooden
bookshelf.

I have to ask....what was wrong with the design that's been used for the past decade that looked appealing? Is this another "change for change's sake?" Am I getting old? (Of course! None of us is getting any younger! Now get off my lawn!!!!)

What was wrong? The design has been used for a decade. That's is like centuries. Get with the program!

     Well, no, it is important to be up-to-date and cool and all that.

     Quite.

Why do they let old people like you *have* lawns? Can you mow it yourself, codger?


     Hey, I agree with you.  And I am 52, so codgerish.

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
