Apple hires Delicious Monst...
Interface designer Mike Matas, one of the developers and the creative design mind behind Delicious Library's stunning graphical interface, has accepted a position at Apple, where he will use his talent to augment and help design the interface for Mac OS X. In a posting to his blog, the nineteen-year old Matas said that he will leave Delicious Monster, the company he co-founded with Wil Shipley only a year ago and move to Silicon Valley, to join Apple: "I am moving to down to Cupertino, CA where I will be designing user interfaces and drawing icons for Mac OS X at Apple," he said in a blog posting. Matas was the designer of Delicious Library, the immensely successful media cataloging software developed by Delicious Monster that generated "a small fortune" and won several awards, including an Apple Design Award for 'Best Mac OS X User Experience' (as well as a runner up for 'Best Product New to Mac OS X').
