I believe it's a little reference to the Almighty Fonz!

Not sure who Ive is... maybe Steve.

In other words - he's lost his cool.

*damn too late*

Current Apple designs are cold and sterile and tired and repetitious. Ive has jumped the shark.

Yeah, I get it now.
I agree on the boom box. I guess his stock options moved him into that catagory. Kind of like David Letterman. Doesn't care what he puts out, people will still buy/watch it till it's dead

ditto, the current iMac is a prime example of this.

Tom cruise would tell you that PC case styling is a plot by an ancient alien civilization to destroy our sense of beauty so that they can come out of a volcano and take over the world.

You know why they are ugly? They were "Designed for Windows". 😉

Well, if Tom Cruise said it, then it must be true! 🙄 😉 🙂

its for cost, and so that more money can be spent towards seductive hardrives, memory, and video cards. almost all focus is on productivity.

which isnt bad at all.

True, a computer with gills could be construed as being rather questionably designed. 🙂

And Cadkiller, why the double post?

It's not ugly to Dell. They just bought the company.

Considering that Windows machines are changed so frequently, it's no wonder they don't put a lot of money into the exterior. Some details are constantly changing and I doubt that one company has fewer than 15 motherboard designs a year for sale, not available at the same time, but still a lot.

Like I said, its a plot by an ancient alien civilization.
