I feel like throwing up even seeing Ive's "the work behind this turd starts with a carefully engineered thread of digestion, and the smell and texture were carefully selected by thousands of experiments handled personally by our engineers, it's a miraculous creation, and in its own way it's unique" face.
It seemed cool because everything was beige or white or black and square. "Boring" industrial design (that I liked, but those Apple stuff pictures I liked too, though not as much as chromecore GBA and PS2, remember when everything was chromecore?) and this bubbly-transparent-plastic-luminous thing.
I don't think I'd like it really using it though. And it is tasteless, like everything Ive designed.
I’m mostly referring to how the case functioned. The door, the legs that tripled as handles and rack mount holes. The G3 / G4 cases were easy to access, upgrade, move, and store.

I really cannot fully express how much I have grown to hate all these motherfuckers and their awful work - and I work in Silicon Valley.

I am thoroughly entrenched in the Apple ecosystem, and I can’t stand those socioeconomic vampires.

God, I love that case design. Eventually, I'm gonna put a modern system in one.

At least the previous version that uses AA batteries, you can swap them out and keep working. Now people need two mice just to continue working...

Is it just slightly unsecret enough that giddy investors can throw money at it though??

Whatever it is, I’ll bet it’ll be 3 nanometers thinner than last year’s model!

Less keys, more touch bars.

One year later…
Touch bars are old news. We’re replaced them with this amazing new thing called “keys”!
