>My new laptop is the new thinkpad, the quintessential corporate black square brick. Fingerprints all over it. Eww, right?
When Steve Jobs returned to Apple he needed a computer that ran NeXTSTEP. Was it a sleek trendy Sony VAIO? Nope, a simple black IBM Think Pad. Design is about how something works, not just what it looks like. Jobs was one of those people who really got that, right down in his bones and that's where Apple has gone astray recently. Hopefully the 16" is a sign they're course correcting in the right direction.
