Jony Ive Creates Solid Gold EarPods for (RED) Sotheby's Charity Auction

The Dom Perignon, per the PDF, is 1996, not 1966.

Edit: The PDF can't even agree, one spot says 1996, another spot it says 1966.

Apple is still working out the kinks on time travel. I very much doubt they will announce that at tomorrow's media event.

Ya, I'm assuming the text is right and it's the '66.

Because a large proportion of ductwork (for which it is named) is galvanized steel, which is "silver" colored.

Duct tape has nothing to do with duct work.
In fact if you use it on your ductwork you're violating more than a few codes because it is not heat/flame resistant.
Duct tape actually did start out as duck tape because it was made from duck cloth.

Great idea, but I bet they're not going to be used much---after all, silence is golden.

I'm no big Star Wars buff or anything, but did anybody else think of C3PO when they saw this?

I pictured Ive talking about how carefully they refined the...smelting process

Not if you listen to light rock.

Being made of solid gold would make them quite heavy and likely just fall out of your ears.

 

[runeapple]

You put necklaces in your ear?

Yes that's exactly what I do, do you have a problem with that?

gold doesn't tarnish

Actually it discolours and this is still known as tarnishing.

Anything for attention and recognition. So he's a rock star. Surely he's got things to do that would involve Apples mainstream products.

Unlike other wine, champagne doesn't get better with age so it's likely 1996.

But what other company would give him free rein with budget and more importantly, where else would his designs take precedence over engineering. That alone is enough to make him want to stay.

Imagine what would have happened if Samsung had hired him one week before that watch monstrosity was shown to the public. I think Jony would have asked to put the watches in each colour into a neat line, pulled a big hammer out of his pocket and smashed every single one.

I bow low to your wonderful, and superior, knowledge of this subject.

You are absolutely correct on all points, and I am embarrassed at my incorrect post!

It's great to learn the correct information, and my thanks for your correction.

Gonna be awkward when that right earbud stops working after 3 months

Wow, they look really great!
