    Good find, just in time. Reading it now.

    Saw it on 9to5mac, they have the widest range of Apple news. It's a long article, 43 pages in Reading Mode (I've also exported it as a .pdf and added it to iBooks for later reference)

    I'm not done with it yet, but like you say, it's essential reading. And full of great details.

    Personally I'm more inclined to read up on Jony Ive than this person:

    Truly an excellent (and extensive!) article. A must read.
    Great read. Thanks! My favorite part ... "Jony's a bit bling"

    Yeah, I thought of the mirror-finish chamfer on the iPhone 5.

    It seems there's an explanation detail of design philosophy in almost every paragraph.

    Right now, yes. But it always pays to keep an eye out for tomorrow's creepy company.

     

     

    Indeed. Which we had shades of with the botched U2 album foisted upon us.

By its ability to absorb virtually anything thrown at it and incorporate new words and phrases over time. He was comparing English to French which is a far more rigid language, always fighting the influences of other languages (English). I never got to read the book but there is a documentary available that I definitely will watch. I imagine you will enjoy it.




    Thanks, I'll check that out. Don't know this Melvyn Bragg.

     

     

    No need to brag about it.
