Amusingly, I'm looking around the room, and the most obvious examples of rounded rectangles are my MacBook, my iPad, and my iPhone.

- mryall 16y agoIf you look a bit further, I'm sure you'll see more. I see chairs, tables, a television, a remote control -- all with rounded corners. So many rounded rectangles, yet I never noticed before I read this article. It's funny how a story like this can change how you look at the world.
- barrkel 16y agoSomewhat ironically, the object with sharp edges that annoys me most is my 2G iPod Nano, which, similar to the 4G iPod Nano, has a sharp rim all around both ends. The 2G is basically an extruded rounded rectangle and the 4G is like an extruded oval, in the same way a cylinder is an extruded circle. I bought the 3G nano, but very seldom use it because the scroll wheel is too small. I didn't buy the 4G precisely because it had the same sharp edge problem as the 2G.
