Apps can be gorgeous? Really?

Before the era of Steve Jobs keynotes, did anyone ever use the terms ‘beautiful’ or ‘gorgeous’ to describe software or a user interface? This usage is now ubiquitous when people write or talk about apps.

This struck me as I sipped my coffee, surveyed the app store and searched the web, looking for the best examples and implementations of open, or at least portable, data. I saved a bunch of bookmarks in Safari iPad to Read Later, and now Safari crashes every time I try to view my bookmarks! Just goes to show, your UI may be gorgeous, but it’s your personality that counts.
