He just looks supremely disinterested to me. Like "-the **** am I doing here? And who's this ***hole with the giant head to my left?".

I'm sorry, but I disagree. These people are using their celebrity status to do their part to make the world a better place. What's wrong with that?
Some of them do more for good causes, than many of us complainers do.
The two most annoying persons on the planet, joined together on stage for the first time. Legendary.
It's black now! Must be airbrushed
Either way that's not a good picture, Ivy looks scary, and Bono looks like an 80 year old
They probably just tweaked the levels & curves in Photoshop... Airbrushing is a little old-school
So this is how it ends. RED is Bono's retirement plan. (Fleece the suckers.) And it appears it's Ive's as well. A little disappointing, as you'd think Sir Jony would have made enough to retire quietly and not want to earn his place among the rich arseh*les club. But I should have seen it coming. He's been in too deep with RED from the beginning.
RED's scam has been well documented over the years. Companies spending more on advertising RED and making themselves look good, than they end up donating from sales. And RED's funds being spent on salaries, self promotion, and big pharma.
Mentally deficient, bitter and blaming downloads for the public's disinterest in his old-man's music, Bono decided to convert the only thing he had left, celebrity, into godhood and fleece the public that's turned on his creative soul with the richman's charity scam.
And sadly, Sir Jony seems to have taken the low road too. This is why Jobs eschewed charity, because he knew it was mostly rich people lining their pockets with poor people's money, while making themselves look good. And most importantly, not doing anything for the people they were supposed to help.
Put these together for yourself.
Ive is quietly trading spiritual leadership at Apple, for returning home to Bono's brand of godhood. Thanks for everything Jony and good luck with that.

- Quite a few top Apple executives deciding they've made enough family sacrifices and (rightfully) deciding it's time to take their money and leave
- Ive wanting to raise his children in England
- Despite being touted as the replacement Jobs tastemaker at Apple
- And making such a huge appearance at WWDC last year
- And having a similar influence over OS X this year, a no show at WWDC, first time not appearing at a keynote since Jobs' return
- Keynote at pains to show what a" team effort" it is - by handing the baton to Federighie

Bono doesn't. The amount of tax he dodges every year would feed millions. There are many that give money and don't need the world to know about it.
Bono is in it purely for himself.
Someone who buys a plane ticket on Concorde so his hat can travel in first class is a pretentious attention seeking moron.

Hahaha,, touche!!!
You're right, contrast seems to be high too, but then again black does frame the face more than any other color----------
They should hire you, seriously much nicer and relatable
RED Mac Pro was a kind of a tasteless thing in my opinion. RED iPhone is certainly an interesting idea, it appeals to me more than gold model. Apple had RED iPhone bumpers, RED iPad cases and RED iPod Touch and it looks really nice.
It's easy to see why ppl hate Bono for his hypocritical fundraising-while-taxdodging. The millions he put into his own pocket that way... You should come to Amsterdam and see all the plaques of the holding companies on the most beautiful houses on the most expensive canal streets. U2, Rolling Stones, BBC, Apple, IKEA...
Pretty much. Of course people seem to forget that Apple's involvement with RED started under Jobs. And Jobs and Bono were friends (Bono spoke at Jobs private memorial service).
THIS !!!! It's EXACTLY what Steve would do: create publicity around fake charitable giving.
It's not illegal to be tax efficient. It might not seem ethical, but it's not illegal, and I'd hazard a guess that ANYBODY here would do the same thing if they were international and had the resources.
Look into the facts and the reasons for companies like U2 doing what they did. Also, balance out what such a huge corporation has done for the economy - U2 are a massive employer for example. I'm not going to bang on about it here as these arguments are always centred on whether a person 'likes' Bono or not, and it's a playground fight that can't be won either way.
U2, Rolling Stones,BBC,Apple, IKEA - internationally you'll find many more than 5 corporations anonymously ransacking your tax loopholes behind your back, laying off your workforce, and leaving your economy bereft and broken. Philanthropists they are not.
Very good post. Here are my guesses about what is going on with Ive - take it or leave it: He is not a leader and has no desire to be. Since Jobs' death, Ive has been held prisoner by Apple execs - I wouldn't be surprised if he has been threatened. Ive took his job way too seriously and became pious and spiritually ill as a result - he wanted to save the world and thought he might have done just that. Before iOS 7, everyone worshipped Ive. After iOS 7, everyone turned on him.
Basically, it all went to his head. And he went crazy being a slave of post-Jobs Apple. Honestly, it's horrible. But he got to live a life that every other industrial designer would kill for.
Of course it is. Bono is a biggest media whore out there. Why doesn't he use his trillions of dollars to solve all of the worldly problems? U2 is a terrible band too.
