Jacob,
I think your 'glassiness' is understated and fine. I never meant the  
extreme of the original colored iMac look.
I think it adds a nice 3-D look especially in the smaller sizes and  
is under-stated enough to fit the Apple look of today with a little  
of a yellow and blue color Apple doesn't use. Could it be turned down  
a bit? Yeah I suppose. But there is a time to tweak and a time to  
move on when the diminishing returns of tweaking are vanishingly  
small and we can ignore subsequent terms in the series (flash-back to  
advanced engineering math ;-). Guess what time I think it is IMHO?
