Especially their design page: http://www.google.com/design

"[Google Manager]: Guys... Could you make it modern, like Microsoft Metro, but maybe decrease the padding between tiles and maybe add some blurry shadows."

"[Designers]: but shadows are a violation flat design principles!"

"[Google Manager]: I am sorry, but we cannot come across like complete rip-offs".

We need 7 red lines. All orthogonal, two with green ink and the rest with transparent ink.

Well here's the problem, you're using a blue pen.

And can one of the lines be in the shape of a kitten?

It's not flat design at all. They spent like 3/4 of the design segment in the keynote talking about how everything has a depth, and how things cast shadows on each other.

Have we reached a point where anyone using color is ripping off windows? :/

Metro isn't flat either. There's a Z axis and objects get pushed back when you tap on them.
