Hangout is code-styled to iOS 7 fashion (pretty much in order to keep in align 
with their Google+ app which is already using iOS 7 SDK).

Those non-iOS 6-look controls are not presented by the app per se. UIAlertView 
is in SpringBoard.app (it blocks power button and home button) and the 
cut/copy/paste bubble is probably in backboardd.
