Apple Designer Honoured By British Crown
metalcup writes "The vice-president for design at Apple, the man behind the iPod and iMac, has been inducted into the Order of the British Empire as a Commander (a CBE honour)." From the BBC story: "Mr Ive started working for Apple in 1992 but exerted a big influence on its products only in 1997 when Steve Jobs returned to the company he co-founded. Mr Ive's first design for Apple, the iMac, was hugely influential and has been followed by a series of other widely admired gadgets ... Since the launch of the iMac in 1998, Mr Ive has driven the design of almost every piece of Apple hardware. Landmarks include the original iMac, iBook, Power Mac, PowerBook, Mac Mini and iPod."
Apple narrowly edges Elton John as the fruitiest entity to receive an honor from the Order of the British Empire.
So the Queen is recognizing intelligent design?
*doh* I can't believe I just said that!
Bill Gates whas knighted too. Well, the honor in that's gone now...
It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.
The British honoring the French, what has happened. The sky is falling, now if the british could honor Joan of Arc. Just a stupid joke. Happy New Year people, Johnathan Ive totally deserves it.

A non-descript white rectangle with chamfered edges, representative of many of his designs. To repeat myself: pure genius. Where does he get his inspiration?!
You mean the Golden Delicious ratio.
From now on, it's Sir Mac Fanboy to you!!
Yeah, except for that JPEG with the— nevermind, it's probably high treason or something...
When people see my Mac sitting on my desk they never ask me how fast it is, how big of a hard drive I have, or if I use high-speed or dial-up; they compliment me on a fine looking machine.
Translation: "Their eyes glaze over, and they say 'ooooh, shiny!'"

Unfortunately, there is a typo in the article. The correct spelling of the man's name is iVe.
My God! You've cracked it. Apple's new slogan: "OSX, featuring Much Nicer Windows(tm)".
