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.
Oh no, does that mean glassy look will be back the next few years? Bad legibility all over again?

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.

Looks like shit IMO
I've set my Android to the Glass icon pack. It kinda looks okay if the background is very blurry and featureless. Try setting a busy vacation pick as backdrop and you won't find any of your apps again unless you set the icons to a size normally reserved for the visual impaired.

Kinda reminds me of Windows Aero, but with Grey as your main colour.
Wait what would you call the main color of aero?

At least material design is readable.
Actually, in the latest beta, they reduced the glass effects.
In case you missed it, find an iOS beta 1 video and see how they are rendering photorealistic light reflections on the glass UI…

Users could choose their own color scheme, default was a light blue.

Oh yea I forgot about that! I miss that. (The color selection, not the….everything else lol. Well, maybe the widgets too.

Maybe. I suspect it will be much better than last time.
Processing power is much better now than in 2006. Back then it was about having some blurry transparency and lots of light beams and lens flares and shit, because it was easy to layer that over stuff. This is going to be more about refraction at the edges and clarity in the centers, with frosted looks as background when needed.
I am hopeful, it looked mostly good in the WWDC video, with only a few examples of poor legibility that hopefully will be ironed out.
I’m personally ready to move on from the flat look as long as it remains cleaner than Frutiger Aero. I miss having depth in my UI.

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.

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!

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.
