Steve Jobs would've LOVED this look. (It's not far from certain aspects of Aqua!)
But he also provided a stronger editing role to his designers in the name of usability. (not a perfect one, but a stronger one!)
I don't know who, if anyone, has that role over Dye's team today.
Most consumer-tech companies have a head of product, or a product-minded CEO. Not today's Apple. Seems like Joz is closest in role, but does he have the clout to override design? (I'd guess not.)
