Count me in.

This is a positive transformation for Apple

I really have to wonder who Gruber’s sources are.

His statement “prior to today never heard much about [Steve Lemay]” leads me to think he doesn’t have intimate access to anyone deeply familiar with design decisions, because anyone who’s spent a little bit of time behind closed doors in that space absolutely knows who Lemay is.

But then he quotes sources who are supposedly “in a position to know the choices”, which would imply they are quite embedded in the design org…

Maybe it’s all voluntary misdirection on his behalf.
