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.

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.

Transparency is fine if it's used for stuff like the background of a window, since you'd want tod emphasize that anyways but I have to agree that using it for icons hurts usability so much.
