Let's Talk About Ceps
That looks like the world's most hi-tech Sellotape dispenser.
angular shit like this look PIIIIMP tho
i think that's my favorite hip hop sleeve, just so right.
yeah those american cars like that are just so sexy, so luxury.
The thing that makes that car so good is it's a giant piece of jewelry, specifically, ebony, silver and a dash of gold, very subtle and very tasteful.
angles and curves, they have their places in different things, and are good for different reasons when you can't see them work properly things start to look bland.
I think good design makes a real point of the use of simple shapes, thats what i get a buzz out of.
I like utilitarian kind of design as well so too much excessive curving etc puts me off, alot of computer moulding stuff always seems to look quite blobby.

Norwegian Wood
or Zaha Hadid's concept car as seen in the London Design Museum a few months ago.
curves vs lines is one of those cyclical things...
art nouveau, futurism, cubism, modernism, international style, hippy, 80s money, 90s organic. the yin/yang tension between nature and society given form.
fave car design the past while has come from RR, nice marriage of grotesque/beauty, angles and curves. looks completely money...
the leaning oversized flat grill, emphasised by disproportionately small headlights. small eyes and a big hungry mouth. great stuff.

Jonathan Ive and the original iMac design
From the wikipedia entry:
"The translucency and colors in this style were inspired by gumdrop candies. In fact, Ive reportedly visited confectionery companies for advice on replicating a gumdrop's visual effect, and his team developed novel techniques in order to build it. The candy color on the first iMac model is called "Bondi blue", evoking the color of the sea at beaches such as Sydney's Bondi Beach."
Sounds a lot like the visual effect of a 'computer', something perceived differently by consumers 10 years ago, was more important than the functionality and user experience.
i remember one of the funny points in that article was for all its talk of "geared toward the end user and designed with nothing but experience in mind", you couldn't put, say, a stack of paper on top of this thing:
