The current state of "design":
1. If it is Apple, it is perfect
2. If it successfully emulates Apple, it is awesome
3. If it tries to emulate Apple, it is good
4. If it is different from Apple, it is bad, devil, unintuitive, terrible, be-damned, should-be-destroyed-and-cursed-by-the-whole-internet
5. If it challenges/threatens Apple's position, or the reviewer's position (which is as described above), it is harmful to humanity, innovation, the economy, and everything; the imperative object of the government/media/users is to destroy such thing.
Just love it.
- nessus42 15y agoSpeaking as someone who loves most of Apple's design, I do find there to be a (very) few other close-to-perfect products: TiVo's are perfect, and yet they are nothing like Apple's products. My Miata is close-to-perfect (other than the stereo), and is nothing like an Apple product. Most products do actually have sucky design. You don't agree?
