HOLY FREAKING MOLY. I have no words but "GAH!" right now. And maybe, "INCREDIBLE!"
I'm thinking, "There's no way there's an entire virtual mac inside this webpage. There is no freaking way. WAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
SO, since you're a designer with a view towards the history of UI design, I must ask you this...
Does, like, SO much of modern UI design just fundamentally suck right now, or am I just a hopeless digital curmudgeon? I'm talking about the terrible iPad-style shoestring scrollbars, I'm talking about active and inactive title bars being nearly indistinguishable from each other, I'm talking #6a6a6a text over #9a9a9a backgrounds (or something like that), that kind of mess. I'm talking about the unfoundedly cavalier attitudes like "You don't need a system tray," and "You don't need a minimize button. You're using it wrong."
Because if it's the latter (I'm just a curmudgeon), meh, I guess we all have a role to play in this crazy world. But knowing it to be the former (stuff just sucks a lot more now) would be at least a little gratifying. XD
