@TheCasualSniper @griffwebber @wdavidmarx Thank you! Great to hear you’re enjoying them 😊
Sony released the ”Beans” Walkman in 1995. They were designed by Rie Isono to appeal to young women, then Japan’s tech trendsetters. Given how closely Jobs & Ives studied Sony, I wonder if the jellybean colors inspired the translucent iMacs, which came out three years later.
Whenever someone tries to play me They Might Be Giants
@wdavidmarx I find it funny because it does essentially describe the brand's raison d'être
@wdavidmarx Everything on the site is ridiculously ugly. Like worse than a ninja t-shirt from a tourist trap in Akasaka.
It’s crazy how much the next wave of hardware is going to involve wearables But the one thing SF mf’s have no idea how to do… IS WEAR THINGS
People seem to forget how often Steve Jobs would call out other founders and products. Call them trash etc. And it wasn’t just him, others in the space were just as brutal. Including Bill Gates on the release of the iMac in the 90s We are seeing this attitude again. But even…
With Hardware, you have to really live with the decisions you make Those decisions get transferred over to consumers that subconsciously realize they have to live with it too That’s why people complain about devices more than software & with the prestige of the Humane team……
