Pretty sure Jony has been desperately trying to get himself fired for the last five years and he's as surprised as us by how far he had to take things before they finally let him leave the white room

he's actually a genius. he realized they were too clever to fall for those obvious bullshit designs so he had to get smart, make a product that was desirable, but completely broken in the subtlest ways, like the macbook pro

the puck mouse is a popular punching bag for good reason but remember the "mighty mouse" where you were only able to pick up the mouse from two small half-moon shaped spots and also those were buttons so don't squeeze too hard

i had to double check the name and discovered this gem

quote:

The mouse emits a sound when the scroll ball is rolled or the side squeeze sensors are depressed, but this is not a direct product of the ball moving or side buttons being pressed; the sound is actually produced by a tiny speaker inside the mouse. There is no way to disable this feature other than physically disabling the speaker inside the mouse.

entertaining as it is to poke fun at jony i am now calling that his stupidly named company will wind up designing cool tactile things (drawing more from the way the imac g3 and clickwheel ipod happened than from the aluminum-slab'ification of present-day apple), and we all figure out it was actually apple corporate that sucked.

lmao. apple paid real american dollars to buy android superfan geohot's "self driving" bullshit

you know, the one where he strapped a laptop and a webcam into his civic and nearly murdered a reporter, then got banned from testing or selling his poo poo in the us because he wouldn't fill out any paperwork, so he hosed off to china

its unclear how much they paid, and given the company announced it was liquidating before that it was probably a token amount and just to make it easier to automatically hire the people at the company they actually wanted
