Star A Brief History of Ugly: Apple in the Last 10 Years
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 6th Sep 2007 23:11 UTC
Apple "In horror honor of yesterday's announcement of the newly-designed third-generation iPod nano, we here at Infinite Loop have taken some time to look back at the last 10 years of Apple product design in order to get some perspective on just how hideous the new Apple audio player is (to some of us). This list isn't to say that some of these Apple monstrosities don't have a special place in our heart, though."

This is written only because it's Apple. Dell, HP, Gateway, Packard Bell -- all have released designs that are, looking back, silly. That's what happens when you go for style, it fades. If you aren't interesting, you're just boring.

Who can forget Polyester Plaids, Bell Bottoms the fashion of yesterday is an embarrassment for today. Same goes for the toilet seat (iBook clamshell). I am going to quote a cliché "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder". What maybe beautiful for you might not be for me and vice-versa.

Of course they are defining themselves with couture, not technology.

The first iMac was a mere joke back in the 90s too, it was the advent of Jobs couture line of products.
