		<title>TidBITS: Comments on Apple Management Shakeup Aimed at Improving Collaboration</title>
		<link>http://tidbits.com/</link>

			<description><![CDATA[Forestall leaving is all about the outdated and tiresomely excessive use of skeuomorphism by Apple. In the design community (graphic design, interface design, UX, type design, ID, and about 30 other “design” professions/specializations) there is nothing but a great deal of excitement about Jony Ive taking over.<br>Finally, there is hope that the great industrial design of Apple products, led by Ive, will be matched by excellent interface design.<br>Ive just needs to bring on some top notch designers in UX and UI to innovate the way he did with ID for Steve many years ago.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There's a big difference between having a confrontational style when you're in charge and when you're not. Plus, everything I've heard indicates that Jobs could be incredibly charming much of the time - he was harsh and abrupt only when he wished to be, whereas it sounds like Forstall might have been more generally like that.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Saying that they didn't like Forstall's "confrontational" style is rich in that Steve Jobs had the same style. Guess Tim doesn't want someone like Jobs around.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I hope that the realignments will reduce the tendency of iOS to ignore lessons learned in OSX. Case in point: in both mail programs you can choose to not download external images automatically for incoming messages. OSX includes an button to download images for individual messages. iOS 6 was the first version to include this obvious feature. Of course, on iOS you have to scroll to the bottom of the message to find this button; on OSX it's available at the top of the message. <br><br>And to what degree did schedule-driven shipment lead to the pernicious problems with excessive data plan usage? There are reports of changes  in the handling of data being made up to the final release. <br>]]></description>
