We?ve known for a while that Apple design guru Jony Ive would be bringing his own distinctive stamp to iOS 7 and now we?re getting some more details about what that stamp might look like. One of 9to5Mac?s sources describes the new version of iOS as ?black, white and flat all over,? meaning that there will be fewer heavy textures and more interface elements that come in plain black and white.

What sort of specific changes does this entail, then? According to 9to5Mac, one obvious change will be to the iPhone?s unlock screen, which ?will drop the shiny, transparent time bar on the top of the Lock screen in exchange for a shine-free, black interface.? 9to5Mac also says that Ive has ?inspired the iOS design team to replace many of the linen and leather textures found in iOS? with flat white and black coloring,? so it seems that textures on major iOS apps will be significantly simplified and will have less gloss.

One key piece of iOS will remain largely unchanged, however: The home screen. 9to5Mac?s sources indicate that the only major change to the home screen will be that app icons will ?lose shine, shadows and gloss? but will still be ?round and just as tappable.?

Given that Ive has made his name employing simple, minimalist designs for Apple?s hardware, it?s not surprising that he wants to bring a similar type of aesthetic to Apple?s software. On the other hand, as 9to5Mac notes, the current design of iOS has been wildly successful and Ive could have a challenge on his hands in getting some users to accept some of the changes he?s made to an operating system that has mostly looked the same since its outset.

I'm talking about the UI graphics not all parts of the phone, everyone wanted to copy apple, now its like apple is looking at google and MS and saying oh flat ah ha!

Just like when Apple/iOS was number one and everyone wanted to copy them to get market share, now Apple looks at Android which is number one and copy them.

This is the problem with Apple, instead of keep being innovative over the years they just made relatively small changes compared to Google for example. Now they are paying for it by loosing market share.

Apple have been steadily draining the colour out of OS X. I knew it was only a matter of time before it went back to the old monochrome days. Guess iOS has beaten it to it. Unless they have something for 10.9...

OS XI will introduce a whole new memory saving feature, called 1bit video, you can store over 30x more data into 1bit video then you can in 32bit video

It will revolutionize the industry... and with retina displays, that dithering will look just like gray to your eye

I'm really curious to see this revamp... Not sure why, as I don't use an iPhone, but I'm just really curious to see what they come up with...

Same here, not using an iPhone but i do want to see what will happen. The reason being is that i believe that if iPhone 5S/6 + iOS 7 wont be something truly different and amazing it will for sure be the beginning of the end of the iPhone. Android is taking most of the market share this year anyway and with that Apple will loss big.

1) I'm not feeling the black and white

2) By the time iOS 7 goes flat, and MS gets Modern UI fixed, flat will no longer be cool. :/ Then what?

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
