Although, he forgot to mention, FCP. BM still exists in FCP in the Viewer and Canvas. But I'm sure that'll change eventually

Why do they need to be consistent? Usability guidelines apply to actual interaction and interface design, not to aesthetics.

Story wasn't bad. I never minded brushed metal before, but even after using iTunes 5 for a day, iTunes 4 looks so unrefined.

to no side borders.

Brilliant! Though don't show that to PC users. They think we're weird enough as it is.

That could have been Penny Arcade. I didn't know Gruber was funny.

When aqua called drunk before 10a.m. was the best part.

LOL

It makes us realize how futile it really his.
Corner, no corner, brushed not brushed, unified but darker, who cares?
iTunes 5 looks just fine, it still look and feel like an Apple Application so I don't see the problem. The day it will feel like a Windows app then we should worry.
No way I wont loose a night of sleep because the corners are not the same. It's not called lets make the users go crazy, it's called evolution. OS X is evolving, it's a good sign of a healthy OS.
