Really? I thought it was because they both had/have the slightest of lisps.Jobs did this because of the way Ive pronounces aluminum. It's just so cool.

I think it's just what you are used to. If you tend to rest your hand on your mouse, you'll have a problem with the Magic Mouse. I've used small "laptop" mice for years and got very used to resting my fingers on my desk *around* the mouse and only touching it when I need to move it, click it or scroll. This works beautifully with the M.M. I've used one day in and day out since it was released and think it's a beautiful and ergonomic piece of industrial design.
Wow at this rate I dont need to read the bloody book I've pre-ordered!
This isnt a rumour so stop putting this along with other bits from the book on the front page and ruining the book for people.![]()
Jobs clearly understands the evils of 'design-by-committee.'
Remember Steve Jobs' quote(It's actually Picasso's but he used it a lot)?
"Bad artists copy. Good artists steal."
And Steve called it stealing. That means he's jealous about Android. Steve seemed to be very selfish at times.

Look I love Apple design and their products too....but "ergonomic" is NOT the correct term here. Since the iMac, the Apple mice have been ANYTHING but ergonomic. In fact, they've been very much anti-ergonomic. They've been design over form and fit. There is nothing about Apple mice that is ergonomic in the least.
Magic Mouse Fixed
I'm still glad Ive has free reign. I don't need to use Apple's mice to enjoy the rest of their great products.
In well run organizations, the creative types are often separated from the other types as they need the autonomy to do their work. Also, the creatives often don't fit in with the more business focused/operations people -- both types can be an inhibition to each others work
MAcs since 1984. As soon as Kensington launched the track ball (Basically an upside down mouse) I never looked back.
Hockeypuck a joke, the flat gray ones bad, white for the imac bad, magic mouse bad. etc.etc.
Wish Apple would make a trackpad with a ball in it like the DUO used to have or some MacBooks. Navigate with the ball, do the gestures thing on the pad area.
I imagine a lot of iMacs being scratched to hell and back where people try plugging flash drives etc. in blind, or ruin the aesthetics of the design with a rats nest of cables dangling down - iPhone dock cable, camera cable etc. - or have a USB hub which makes the multiple USB ports redundant.
I cringe every time a client says "Let me show it around the office and get other people's input."
Like the wrist slicing edge to their unibody Macbook Pro! Honestly I LOVE their industrial design overall (I love shiny, pretty things) but there are issues.
I love how he says aluminum.
Really, I do.
Sorry, have to say this is pretty much ******** on Job's part. He's dead, he has no legal standing anymore regarding how Apple, a publicly traded company, operates. If the Apple Board wants Jony Ive gone, or instructs the CEO to produce a cheaper, plastic MacBook, that's the way it goes. I'm not saying that would be a good thing, or predicting it will happen, but the idea that Steve could make legally binding corporate decisions that hold forth after his death, that's just silly.
Ive is a baller, and Apple needs to do whatever it takes to keep him completely satisfied - which is why this news isn't surprising.
He feels like more of a successor to Steve Jobs than Tim Cook is, anyone else get that vibe?
I actually find it ironic, I watched several youtube videos where Steve himself said that "Bad artists copy. Good artists steal." And now Android stole and he is angry? Well I guess besides being brilliant Steve is also a hypocrite.
Johnny Ive & apple I think need to be in the same category as Frank Lloyd Wright. Imagine what we HAVEN'T seen from this guy.
