Goodbye Mr. Jobs

Apple's legacy is in design ---- They forced other companies to face the fact that design is important -- it's not just something women or gay people like. No matter what you manufacture, cars, toasters, whatever, you can't just build some POS that doesn't feel good to use. You need to hire people who actually studied design and give them more influence.

You've inspired me. My current toaster just doesn't feel good when I use it, so I will be designing a new one that makes me tingle over toast.

Would you buy a new car if it still had an 80's interior?

Even GM's interiors have improved dramatically.

A lot of people claim "I only care about power and/or fuel economy and/or how it rides", but I guarantee if a car's dashboard looks like shit and the controls aren't ergonomic and don't feel good to use, it will damage that car's reputation.

Battle Cyborg? LOL.......You mean cheap hard plastic, sharp corners, hella sun reflection, vinyl shift boots, turn signal relays that make way too much noise, lame "A-spoked" 2-spoke steering wheels, and center consoles that squeak every time your knee hits them?
