I don't really understand this article.

The only example of industrial design and mechanical engineering being fused given in the article is the heat vent one where you took the vents off the top of the sweat-lodge shaped computer and put them on the bottom because it looked "like a large salt shaker"...

But doesn't heat rise? And now the vents are in the thermodynamically opposite place they should be, and simultaneously sheltered from crosswind by the gumdrop shape? That doesn't sound like much of a field-mesh rather than an intentional crippling of the engineering portion...
