A TL;DR would be useful. Is there a focus or a direction or a point somewhere in the article? I've read the first few pages but it's just a meandering nothingness so far.
- IBM 12y agoIt's a profile of Jony Ive.
- joosters 12y agoWas the author paid by the word?
- jethro_tell 12y agoBy the compliment, and or celebrity name drop, I would think.
- justincormack 12y agoFlushed out of the UK after a toilet manufacturer turned down his designs, Jony Ive, who is friends with Stephen Fry, Bono and lots of other celebs, clicked with Steve Jobs and now wants to retire but is chained in by the watch and the billion objects he designed that were sold, so he is driven around in a Bentley but hey he can get rid of Job's awful taste in calendar apps designed to look like the interior of his (now Ive's) private jet. The Apple store will have carpets because no one will buy a watch on a non carpeted floor.
- acqq 12y agoSo he wants to be free. Well, there is already a petition: https://www.change.org/p/apple-free-jony-ive-from-his-white-room https://www.change.org/p/apple-free-jony-ive-from-his-white-...
- mojuba 12y agoThanks, it's a nice summary of a very ADHD-unfriendly article :)
- 72deluxe 12y agoAmusing summary. The "flushing" expression in relation to the toilet was witty. Perhaps it was "panned" by critics? Or he was told to "brush" up? The new calendar app is like looking at a big white piece of paper that a spider has crawled across. I can't see anything on it. The carpet thing will be interesting - impossible to keep clean.
