I'm a long-time follower of @gruber.foo and Daring Fireball and that's where I learned that Apple is getting a shakeup at the top of UX/HI. Here's hoping! Apple hasn't followed their own HI guidelines in many years.
Gruber's article is excellent.

I stuck this on my office wall a couple of weeks ago.
Even with this in my face every day, I still find myself reluctant to publish stuff I’m writing.
Best way to get better at dealing with this situation is to write and publish over and over.
