Top Gear (the brilliant BBC car show) has a cool wall
http://www.topgear.com/jsp/coolwall/index.jsp
which ranges from Seiously uncool(the left hand side) to Sub Zero (the right side) . Every week a selecion of cars are positioned somewhere on the wall to rank their "coolness"

To me computers, even macs, are intrinsically uncool, sorry I just can not get excited about them even the new air mac.

However in relative coolness I would rate;
Bog standard Dell type PC -seriously Uncool
PC laptop almost seriously uncool
imac- not so uncool
mac air book- uncool
iphone -sub zero

I love apple for their innovative products, not just for imacs

I love Top Gear.

Tend to agree computers are uncool but the new mac air I would say is on the border of uncool and cool

ipod touch Cool
iphone very very very cool (in fact Clarkson had one on an episode and did say the iphone was very cool

The Cube is in its own little fridge above 'Sub-Zero' like the Aston Martin DB9 :D

Interesting...I think computers (Macs in particular) are really cool. The iPhone is quite honestly the first and only cell phone that I'd say is cool at all, and that's not for it's features as a phone, more for it's features as a computer I can keep in my pocket and use online anywhere.

Remember the Cool Wall rules though, anything the 3 guys own is automatically uncool. Not that the iPhone was ever cool to begin with.
