Ikea launches iPhone-connected smart home bulbs & sensors, but no Apple HomeKit support
I'd buy this. I'm not really concerned about HomeKit support. I'm sure not having HomeKit support keeps the price of this down considerably. This is less than half the price of similar Phillips offerings.

Colbert's 'Late Show' skewers cost, content of Apple's new design book
I honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic or serious.jkichline said:People don't understand nor do they appreciate the art and design of a finely-crafted book. This is not a run-of-the-mill, paperback on cheap paper and crap, generic blank ink. This is work of art about works of art. The paper is specially blended and handled, there are probably multiple inks and coating. 450 pages with a binding that will last and a specially designed cover that appears to be embossed... all of these things add up to the cost of a book. It is not priced to be a pedestrian magazine, it's designed, built and priced to be a collector's item that will be timeless.
If you don't understand that, then you don't understand Apple. They don't design things to be cheap and thrown away. They design things to last... to be functional works of art. This book is not only a testament to that, but the very embodiment of that underlying mantra.
