Why doesn't everyone who has to say "first" on every topic realize that it just makes us start off hating you?

Saying first on a topic doesnt make you cool it makes you an idiot who thinks saying FIRST on a topic is cool

all you have to do is be a famous britt in any fashion to get knighted these days. it doesnt mean anything anymore. sing a song? get knighted. write a book? get knighted. act in movies? get knighted. design electronics? get knighted.

He totally deserves it. That's one Apple employee who should take every bit for credit for the success Apple has had since he joined the company.
Also - that's one Apple employee who will not meddle with questionable business practices or ethics.

I have to agree with this one. You can say what you will about Steve Jobs, but Jony Ive is the mastermind behind the look of Apple products. He is truly incredible.
21. joaolx posted on 23 May 2012, 10:16 0 0
Totally agree. His the mind behind the designs of most Apple projects. Some Macs are considered a work of art and one of his is in a art museum. Is deserves to be a sir.

agree with you. he is gettin the credit he deserves because there is no ijobs to take credit of everything.

So Ive gets a knighthood for blatantly ripping off others' designs? Next we'll start getting knighthoods in Cadbury chocolates. What a load, and how disrespectful to those that have done something actually novel or beneficial for the UK.

Alright, I'll give you the T3 pocket radio and original iPod. And the perforated aluminum.
But the TV looks nothing like the monitor. Nor do the sound system and iPod dock. It's a stretch at the best to compare them.
If you want to really see where Ive was influenced by another device, and a device with the same function, compare the iPhone 4 to the original LG Prada. It's as bad as the T3/iPod.
34. JeffdaBeat posted on 23 May 2012, 13:51 1 0
But then you're going to have to say Samsung ripped the same thing from LG before Apple did with the Samsung Eternity.

Ripping off? One thing is inspiration, which might come from Braun products but that's it. Most of is work is innovative, simple, premium and calls to the attention of people.
31. tedkord posted on 23 May 2012, 11:56 0 0
And, the same can be said of Samsung's early Android phones. They weren't copies, but were merely inspired by the original iPhone (and they didn't look nearly as identical as the og iPod compared to the Braun T3 pocket radio.

So he ripped off designs? What phone looked like the 4/4S before it dropped. What Laptop looked like the Macbook Air or Macbook Pro before it came out. I did not say preform or the internals but had the look. Man I understand you hate Apple but really. the same people every post about apple saying the same thing to sum it up we know you hate apple. And no I am not pro apple. No I dont have an iPhone or iPad. I actually now own a galaxy Nexus and a Galaxy Tab. So come with the insults and and facts to back up your claims of non innovation at apple.
22. tedkord posted on 23 May 2012, 10:18 1 0
The 4/4s are almost complete ripoffs of the original LG prada, which was designed before the original iPhone. A black rectangle dominated by a touch screen, a home button center bottom, metal wrapped around the edges, camera on the back top right. From a design standpoint, you have to be either blind or intellectually dishonest to say the IP4 isn't strongly similar to the Prada. Check it out:

Not that that matters. I have no problem with manufacturers taking design cues from others. It happens all the time with cars. So long as it isn't identical, and doesn't steal patented tech (tech, not rounded corners or shapes, or grids of icons)

2001-ipod was launched
2003-jobs hinted on a digital device that would have an excellent sync software
2005-apple and motorola released rokr e1(discontinued 2006)
2006-released a version of iTunes that included references to an as-yet unknown mobile phone that could display pictures and video
2007-original iphone was introduced jan 9, 2007. prada was intoduced jan 19.
only apple and lg knows how long did it take to design and make a fully functional touchscreen device.
27. tedkord posted on 23 May 2012, 11:15 0 0
Prada design was shown a year prior to iPhone release, and won awards. The iPhone 4, which most resembles the original Prada, was released only 2 years ago.
What does it matter when the iPod was released, or when Steve Jobs hinted at a vaporware device, or when the rokr was released? None of these has anything to do with the question of the iPhone 4's resemblance to the Prada, which again was shown a year prior.
And again, I have no issue with it. It's like cars, which take design cues off each other. So what? It's not theft, it's inspiration.

look for lg km500 on gsmarena and see how it looks like.
30. tedkord posted on 23 May 2012, 11:55 0 0
OK, and? How does this pertain to the iPhone 4 looking nearly identical to a phone design shown is 2006?
32. xtian1103 posted on 23 May 2012, 12:21 0 0
can i borrow your statement above and change it a little bit? you wrote..
"you have to be either blind or intellectually dishonest to say the lg km500 isn't strongly similar to the ipod?" as what you have wrote, some way or the other, one takes design cues from someone. i totally agree. this whole ip4 vs prada thing can go on forever. actually there's more! iphone 3gs vs samsung galaxy ace, samsung galaxy s3 vs nokia c7. depending on how an individual looks at it may look similar to something. on to the real topic, not much we can do about Ive being a knight, he deserves it.

Google Samsung Eternity...Samsung is a big hipster. It stole the design of the Prada before it was cool...
40. elandrumiii posted on 25 May 2012, 19:42 0 0
I will give you one on the how similar and I saw the Prada when it came out. wasnt on any US carrier so thats why a lot of people wont know about it. Every one gets ideas from everyone Apple Sammy LG and HTC and Moto are no different.

"A lot does seem to come back to the fact that what we’re working on now feels like the most important and the best work we’ve done, and so it would be what we’re working on right now..."
That's pretty much what Axl Rose said about "Chinese Democracy." See how that turned out.
All artists believe their in progress work is their best ever, and only after time has passed can they look back with a more unbiased eye. I'm willing to give Sir Ive some slack, though. The iPhone 4/4s is a really beautiful piece of tech (I never thought the previous versions were good looking, other than the screen). It's not for me, but it is pretty.

So this is the bozo that's responsible for designing the pretty looking phone that breaks the first second it's dropped unless you stick it into some nasty looking case to where you can't even appreciate the design to begin with, and he's getting knighted?? Too funny!!
39. JeffdaBeat posted on 24 May 2012, 08:28 0 0
That's funny, I don't keep a case on my iPhone 4 and I've had it since 2010. Be more responsible with your electronics.
