    I mean… it’s not slop. It’s a good, old-fashioned well-supported rant about how Apple has abandoned good user interface design.

    <old man shakes fist at cloud> I do wish that anal-retentive, careful, thoughtful geeks would come back into power in place of flashy shallow thinkers.

    But I can’t say I expect shaking fists at clouds is likely to accomplish much.

      Looking back, I think it was a freak accident that the ARCTG crowd ended up calling the shots originally. Computer design was considered janitorial/secretarial style work by powerful people in the beginning, and it wasn’t until the late 90s that the “get rich quick by taking advantage of others” crowd realized there was a lot of money to be made.
