The best way I can describe taste is a gestalt quality where "every part of the thing jells." It's the ability to discriminate what is included vs. excluded. Often those with the most taste do not make these decisions obvious, this gives well thought out pieces an 'effortless' quality. As anything subjective, people have different opinions on it (I think Jobs makes a lot of tacky design decisions) but there is a universal thread of "thinking through the details."
