Good article but still I believe that this is far from innovative. What's wrong with dashboards? I mean why not take all the space when you've got something to present to the user?

The useless right part of the screen is a complete waste of space and looks totally weird.

I really don't like where the general UI concepts are going. Apple UX is now very discussable, Windows' tiles are a good idea but replacing the start menu with them is kind of a misstep... Argh I could go on for days...

Apple, what's happening with the futuristic look and feel? Why including leather in your calendar?!
