    Ferrari is stuck in the 19th century....They couldn't be worse if they mounted lanterns on the front fenders.

    I see $200K Ferrari's and immediatley think of 10 miles per gallon.

    The drivers are out-of-touch tools...

    It's like collecting old brass sewing machines. 

    Do some research on “Veblen Goods”. One year wait on any Ferrari and good luck buying one if you’re not a previous owner...

    Judging by such design decisions as removing the headphone jack, other ports, and blessing us with all kinds of dongles, then such hits as replacing one keyboard key needs the entire top of the laptop replaced for $700, and also said keyboard is sensitive to dust, no, I don't think Jony Ive is a good designer. There are others better than him. Apple seems to be making better decisions now that he's gone.

    Ives was and is a good designer -- but he needs a rational head guiding him and setting guardrails.   Once Jobs passed Ives was allowed to run free, unconstrained.  And his good things tended to stray too far into the world of great "design" and lose functional and pragmatic abilities.  

    I think he makes a great designer but would not make a great corporate head.   Being good at one thing does not make you good at the next thing.
