It's kind of funny that in one post, one wants "brushed colored metals" and then complains about the modern, pointless design without function.

I'm not sure what general line of products you're talking about, but devices like phones and tablets surely have orders of magnitude more "thought and engineering" in them. The fact that you don't like the tradeoffs they provide doesn't mean they weren't engineered and considered.

I know what line of product he's talking about. He's talking about phones that look like seashells and luxury soaps, suited for handbags and walks with a French bulldog.

And on the other hand, just because someone thought about a design doesn't make it good. (To the degree that one believes design can be good/bad and it's not all subjective)

I'll quote myself:

...yes? That is what I replied to; do you have something to add?
