And of course, there is the transgression of the century: Apple’s downward spiral into overt 1:1 metaphors. The physical bookshelf, the leather desk calendar (complete with a torn page), the false-paginated address book, whatever Game Center is trying to pull off. At least Cover Flow’s LP-flipping simulation was cute and emergent, if quickly tiresome, but these new tricks are horrible and offensive. They’re not only condescending and overwrought, they’re actually counter-functional.
