(View all)It's been going on for a few years now. OSX slowly adopts things from iOS rather than the other way around.
iOS tech has been increased significantly while OSX gets almost nothing. Mac days are numbered and eventually it'll be like iPod line. Slow development and sales will eventually declining too.
Sorry. You're patently wrong. OS X's entire substructure has been upgraded, end-to-end. You may find a new icon as sexy and something of significance but I find leveraging OpenCL and huge new swath of APIs as the real meat.
One thing I noticed, isn't this the iOS App Store logo, not OS X?

Interesting, I still had the OS X logo upon update.

Maybe it'll fix the yellowish tint of some screens. :eek:
That's not something a software update is going to be able to fix I'm afraid. How bad/noticeable is it? If it's bad take it back and get a replacement if you can or push for a new screen.
Pretty much what?
There are 2 types of displays in this gen?
Yes Samsung and LG are once again suppliers. Whether LG still has IR issues remains to be seen. Both manufacturers are often shipping displays that are yellow tinted.
Sometimes the yellow is even. Other times it isn't.
Get ready to play the panel lottery if you're buying one. And gd luck.
