Main weakness of Apple is hiring the wrong persons. They did that before in 80′s and to be continued.

iOS7 is a good OS, but it’s not Apple. They got the market because their iDevices was capable of handling tens of graphic layers over each other creating a mind blending interface packed with unique features. Now in iOS7:

• Average users don’t care about dynamics in main interface of iOS, moving a screen because I said so is just similar to move it because there is another screen beside or gravity makes them move. That’s a huge technological difference, but just for developers, not public.
• Average users like to have some contrast in screen. Sure a simple design is much more elegant, but you can’t capture eyes of users with just text. It’s like a woman with or without makeup!
• In their opinion, new design is based on contents with large fonts and less graphics (no lines, shadows, etc). That’s good for pages inside a book, not the cover. I shown screenshots of native Calendar App on iOS6 and iOS7 to about 50 people including Android fans, only one of them said iOS7 is a better design.
• And finally, everybody including Android and Win8 can make something like iOS7, but only apple can (could) create a remarkable operating system like iOS6 and run it on a small device at fantastic speed.

If you have time, watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8mttU82V64, specially from 47:30 to end. You will get the idea what will happen to a company when marketing department get in charge of design!

Hopefully they turn back before iOS7 concept gets into OSX.

They changed them a few times today and we had to call them several times to get them fix the issue. But it seems they use Telus infrastructure and every body know how Telus do the job. In my opinion, Telus is the worst communication company in Canada. Just try to reach some one or use their ultra complicated network of sites, all will result in hours of waiting for a critical issue.

For now, that link is stable and there is no packet lost. I hope what they’ve done was a permanent fix.
