Apple has updated the Dock so that it has a 2-Dimensional appearance when it resides on the side of the screen. When residing on the bottom of the screen, the Dock retains the 3d shelf appearance.

Update: Apparently the same simple style can be used for the dock when it is on the bottom: screenshot
