Even GM's interiors have improved dramatically.

A lot of people claim "I only care about power and/or fuel economy and/or how it rides", but I guarantee if a car's dashboard looks like shit and the controls aren't ergonomic and don't feel good to use, it will damage that car's reputation.

Good question. Which new car, and which 80's interior?

Battle Cyborg? LOL.......You mean cheap hard plastic, sharp corners, hella sun reflection, vinyl shift boots, turn signal relays that make way too much noise, lame "A-spoked" 2-spoke steering wheels, and center consoles that squeak every time your knee hits them?

"Pirates of SIlicon Valley" is a good movie about the start-up and history of Apple and Microsoft. Pretty good watch, really shows them for who they were.

I'm now using my iMac with feverish intensity in his honor.

I'm at school and allt he apple people (mainly freshmen who didn't pay for a single apple product) are going nuts and doing nothing but talk about it. They kept referring to him as the Thomas edision of our time.

The funniest part is my 1st class was in teh computer science building and all the computer science majors have anything but a Macbook.

I wonder if the OWS crowd has takena rest to mourn the loss of such a rich and ruthless ceo

They're likely posting on Twitter, from their iPhones, about how great it is that one of the fat cats is gone.

Another thing about Apple is the products were designed to be intuitive. Dumb/non technical people could use and use them well. Simple and elegant design working together. Look at the damn wheel on the ipod, that control was very very simple, yet genius. I miss the wheel, lol.
