    Almost any room you put a new Mac in is going to look ugly by comparison.

    I want to see the iRoom. With an iDesk, an iLamp, and an iSeat.

    Them maybe we talk about awards and such.

      God, that's the truth. I've got this ugly desk with my cinema display, and the desk just looks like crap compared to everything else. See for yourself:

      Any way you slice it, the compuer always looks better than the desk. I'm trying to find a decent glass desk to compliment the computer, but then I'll need to see about getting rid of the crappy carpet in here.

      Go into nearest IKEA (Office section) and look for the Glass surface desk. It's not available in the web catalogue and I saw one as recently as last month.

      These things really emphasize the mental asylum enveloped in minimalism if you work hard enough on arranging the shit around and stealthing the cables and such out of the view.

      Wood desks are so last century. The rule of thumb is: the computer environment should be at least 1/4th of the price of the hardware that sits on top and beneath it.

    Even if that word [innovative] has lost most of it's meaning with the use of it by a certain Northwest company.

    Yeah, Alaska Airlines has totally lost its edge.

    Too many fuckin links, you fuckin tools! I'm looking at the story going, "shit, what the fuck do I click?" I try one. Shit! It's the goddamn iMac site. I KNOW what an iMac looks like, you morons, I'm from EARTH. So I try another one. Augh! Fuckin "Design Museum" site! Bitches! Screw this!

    This reminds me of 19-fuckin-93, when hyperlinks were this new and kewl thing. D00D! I can make words to things! So whenever I type "iMac" I should make it link to the iMac site! KEWL! I AM MAD SKILLZ WEBMASTAR!

    Nobody told me this design award was up for grabs. If they had, I would have sent in photos of my cool case mod, which is entirely made of potato chips and twine. That would have easily clinched it.

    Yeah, I know what you mean.

    I used images.google to find a picture of this "cannon g5" and boy, you weren't kidding! That's the least-camera-like thing I've ever seen!
