"The leadholders actually have a little sharpener inside the latch button on the back end.The cap comes off, and there's a little angled blade in there, to maximize the gee whiz factor of this stellar design.(It does get lead powder all over the place if you're not careful)"

""real designers ship" is a thought terminating cliche.Something that "terminates thought" is the antithesis of design.If you only design products, or even mere concepts, with the intent of shipping in your specific medium, you'll never solve problems that are intrinsic to the super structure you are working in.Do we really need a niftier all glass smart phone? Or do we need a phone that won't break after you drop it once while fumbling to open your apartment door?Which product will ship? Clearly the all glass sex machine that we've been consuming the past 12 years."

"I'm starting to suspect these articles are paid shill editorial verticals.Really? Modularity is not new, and it should not come at such a paid premium.The previous article saying Apple is right to charge a thousand bucks for a piece of equipment that doesn't even have a single capacitor in it, is madness.A thousand dollars could change a family in Botswana's life forever, and you're defending the ability to tilt a screen 90 degrees as some sort of religious experience.Face it guys, Apple is the Supreme of personal computers."
