Kinda reminds me of Windows Aero, but with Grey as your main colour.
That example photo is with the icons set to white (or similar). By default the icons are still colorful. They showed it off during WWDC and it looks mostly good.

Yep, when every app has a gray color, it’s much harder to find what you’re looking for on the screen.
Google committed the same sin when they made every one of their apps have the same four color look - now I can’t easily find the one app I’m looking for.
The lack of color isn’t the default, it’s an option (an evolution of one that already have). By default everything is still colorful.

According to the filing, Lipnik has been fired from Apple “for failing to follow Apple’s policies designed to protect its confidential information, including development devices and unreleased software and features.” The filing also accuses Lipnik of failing to report “multiple prior breaches” to Apple.
When you sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement), you’d best protect the secrets. Then again, the guy who left an iPhone 4 in a bar didn’t lose his job. Wonder what the differences are between them.

Plot twist: the Liquid Glass redesign was just a decoy they hoped would get leaked as a distraction to maintain buzz during the long delays in their secret Transparent Aluminum redesign.

Breaking an NDA (allegedly) is civil, not criminal
Unless it's also a cfaa violation for exceeding access

Winterboard, that's it!
I think it was the exploits and jailbreaks that were named in leet, like L1meRain

Willfully breaking an NDA with one of the most litigious companies in the world for what is essentially fake internet points is a bold strategy Cotton. Doesn't look like it is going to work out for him.
From the article, if you read it, you will see it was not willful at all:
The full complaint, posted by MacRumors to Scribd, outlines Apple’s version of events. Ramacciotti was friends with an Apple employee named Ethan Lipnik, who had an iPhone running an in-development version of the next-generation version of iOS. Allegedly at Prosser’s direction, Ramacciotti gained access to this phone while Lipnik was away from home and used FaceTime to call Prosser and show him the new software design.
“Defendants’ misconduct was brazen and egregious,” says Apple’s filing. “After Mr. Prosser learned that Mr. Ramacciotti needed money, and that his friend Ethan Lipnik worked at Apple on unreleased software designs, Defendants jointly planned to access Apple’s confidential and trade secret information through Mr. Lipnik’s Apple-owned development iPhone.”

What’s old is new again. “Glass” desktops and interfaces have made at least 3 rounds so far.

Interesting to read that they actually fired the engineer this time. The last time this was reported (more recent than the phone proto left at the bar), Apple didn’t fire the responsible engineer. I guess that person was too important to let go.
Or perhaps there was something about this guy's actions that were grossly negligent in a way that any person would agree he effed up.

Gross. Why in the world would anyone want translucent icons?
Yes I'd like to strip away my ability to quickly sort mentally by color and I'd love it if there was a background image partially visible intermixed with the thing I'm looking for.
Windows phone was peak UI. I don't think transparency even needs to be a thing in an OS. -

It’s such an apple thing - “revolutionize” something that already existed

The difference between this and the iPhone 4 leak might just be company policy. I'm sure Apple's rules for handling prototypes got stricter after the first leak, so this guy probably broke more rules than the first, even if they did basically the same thing.

This time it was a willful and intentional leak (at least if you believe the article's version of the events), whereas the guy who left the prototype at the bar was a complete accident. It's not surprising to me that Apple would fire someone who intentionally leaked something. As for the guy who left the phone at the bar, I guess it depends on how careless and negligent you think that was.

I mean, outlook has themes… but I generally hate their other recent UI changes.
