And screw all of you KDE haters. I've been using KDE4 for awhile, and I fucking love it. Nothing looks cooler than having a 60" 1080p TV in the living room hooked up to your Kubuntu server to show off the globe/snow/cube special effects. ;)
The only reason I don't like it is because it didn't work right on my craptop :(

Agreed. KDE4 is pretty awesome. Also, if you haven't seen it, YaKuake is a pretty cool KDE terminal emulator.
The novice realizes that the difference between code and data is trivial. The expert realizes that all code is data. And the true master realizes that all data is code.

Yeah it looks like they're definitely going for the Mac OSX look. Hell those wifi / bluetooth / volume icons might aswell be stolen :lol:

And well, I love them for it because IMO the Mac interface is absolutely stunning and this new theme looks like it will add a whole lot to the default package.

I think those icons are pretty standardized.

EDIT: But wow, they ARE stunningly similar to the OSX ones haha.
