    Hey all you pundits and meh-first whiners who say the iPhone 5 is boring, or that Apple is getting boring:

    [B]Note that this Leica design goes back to the 1950s, if not the 1920s.[/B]

    When a device or a species reaches its evolutionary climax, it plateaus and then perfects itself in incremental details.

    Get over your narcissistic, infantile lust for change for change's sake. You are no longer two years old tossing aside your toys because you are tired of them.

    You've been had–by media, by fashion, by auto-industry model obsolescence, and by your overindulgent parents.

    This is serious: art as technology and technology as art, with billions at stake. It isn't about style.

    Dan Lyons must be shamed into silence!

    Jony: "We actually...Found a way...To fuse the lens and the camera body together to make it 18% thinner" 

    Photographers: What the ****, Jony.

    That seems somehow unfair that just one of those would be produced. The valuation of it would be sky high but surely Jony Ive doesn't want to disappoint his fans like that?

    Previous Leica special editions have sold for $25-50k depending on equipment, so this is not a mass market item with or without Ive.

    While I think this one-off Leica is cool, I'm much more excited about getting a new Jony Ive-designed camera body THIS FRIDAY!!!
