So… how are they doing the blur before you log in? Quick poke around, can't see any -webkit-filter, and can't see any canvas…

It literally grew on users when they dropped the "Ultralight" from Helvetica Neue Ultralight (3rd beta).
It's a widespread misconception, but it's never been ultralight. Screenshot from beta 1: http://cl.ly/PhA6

Helvetica Neue - that wonderful font again. Sorry for being off-topic: can anyone please recommend a (legal/accepted) way for licensed use of Helvetica Neue on websites/apps without having to purchase it from expensive font vendors like Adobe or Myfonts?

They need to update the iWork suite as a whole. All the iCloud bits have the new UI (Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Find my Phone) but the iWork bits all have old UI. Maybe it's going to be an overhaul of the iWork UI across all their systems?
It's strange they created it using the old look when it was presumably in development around the same time as iOS 7. I imagine the iWork team saw iOS 7 announced at the keynote and though "shit, why did nobody tell us?".

See the number in the calendar app? That's Ultralight. http://www.theverge.com/2013/8/14/4621422/beta-icloud-websit...
I've been hearing it since it was announced, and I've yet to see for myself, but I really am starting to agree that a lot of the disagreements with the design decisions of iOS7 will go away once people start using the OS. Of course, there are still elements that seem half-baked at best, but it's interesting to see how some of the interfaces really shine when it's your own information being displayed instead of screen…
I've been using iOS7 since Beta 2, and I still hate it. I don't like the look, but this might be personal. So putting this aside, to me iOS7 is actually harder to use. The flat buttons (which are just labels now) are harder to press. I do not know if this is psychological since they appear smaller, or is it that the target area is actually smaller now. Toggles are grayed out in their off state, so they appear disable…
I still find the Repeat/Shuffle buttons confusing in Music.app and I hope they gets fixed before GM.

MacBooks have had accelerometers since the titanium Powerbooks. They were used to park the hard drive heads in the case of sudden movement.
Anyone else wobble their Macbook back and forth to see if the background shifts in response? (it doesn't)
