On the one hand, the charming Kasia says she loves her new Powerbook’s packaging and the aesthetics of the OOBE (out-of-box experience). Then on the other (sort of), we have this column from the San Francisco Chronicle, which I guess is intending to praise the same thing but takes a slightly different tack:
Oh right like you even care.
Like careful sexy product design even matters and as if you give a twit for packaging and aesthetics and user experience anymore in this overly plastic bloatedly excessive landfill wasteland Wal-Mart dystopia we call proud capitalist gimme gimme gimme America.
And OK maybe every now and then you sigh and give in and buy yourself a new tech gadget, because you’re just that kind of consumer lackey and not really expecting much anyway but who the hell cares it’s just one more hunk of tech landfill but what can you do.
Me, I think my Powerbook would be much more aesthetically pleasing if it would boot.
