Biggest whine? That Apple seems to have abandoned the MHIG (Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines) Yeah, I have a copy of this book, and try to apply the principles of consistency to everything I do. Never written a Mac app more complex than a "Hello World"... mostly web design and QTVR, but still..... I'm not saying that we should go back to the old Finder and other interface elements of MacOS 9 and older, Hell no... but it would be great if Apple would bring back CONSISTENCY to the MacOS GUI. The current 1/3 brushed metal, 1/3 Aqua, 1/3 whatever in the Hell the AppleTV, iPhone, iTunes GUI is/are... meh.. Update and then follow the AHIG!!!!! CONSISTENCY CONSISTENCY CONSISTENCY!!! An example... iTunes is built on webkit, correct? I can openapple-arrow key my way forwards and backwards in Safari, but I can't browse iTMS "pages" in the same way... Annoying as Hell. CONSISTENCY.
