      Pathetic the length Apple haters will go to, even criticizing people's names, just to get in a dig at Apple. Pathetic indeed that such criticism makes such people feel better about themselves, but I guess that's all they have in life.

    Marc Newson quote about re-designing a bicycle

    “I approached both bikes as an exercise in joining the dots and looked for the simplest form that was able to do this, to connect the headset to either the bottom bracket or seat and then to the rear wheel. Also, it was of huge importance to me to lose all the superfluous shit and hide all the ugly bits, like the cables.”

    Marc Newson is perfect for Apple he has clearly attended the same bullshitter school as Mr Ive
