I just did a factory reset of my tablet before taking the new firmware that ASUS just released and while setting up my preferences I noticed something.

Attached are screenshots of my Transformer with the notification menu open; first with stock ICS, then with the ASUS skinned version.

I think this is a perfect example of what skinning should be. It takes the skeleton that AOSP provides and polishes it; the key word being "polish", not "Alright Freddy, tear it all down. No, it's all got to go. What do you mean 'people like it'? We'll tell them what they like. No, you know I don't care that people complain non-stop about the changes we make. Those idiots don't know what their doing, overhaul time."

Moto (and most other OEMs for that matter) could take a page out of ASUS's playbook. It seems they kind of got the picture with their ICS release, but they still insist on cramming what seems to be the icon equivalent of badly drawn anime down our throats.

The new Transformer Infinity is so freaking rad. I'm going to try to sell any organs I don't need to anyone who wants them.

I'm with you on that one. Although, Nitro's eclipse is awesome in its own right.
