Jonathan Ive, the guy at Apple responsible for the cool designs of the iPod and iMac, has been awarded a CBE (Commander of the British Empire) for his wicked designs and uber cool ideas. Well Done! The CBE is just under KBE (Knight Commander of the British Empire) he was close to getting knighted. Don’t worry Steve, you’ll be knighted soon.
The rest of the New Years Honours list is mainly dominated by people who helped in clearing up the mess after the London bombing in July.
Since the launch of the iMac in 1998, Mr Ive has driven the design of almost every piece of Apple hardware. Landmarks include the original iMac, iBook, Power Mac, PowerBook, Mac Mini and iPod.
And every one of the things he designed look fantastic. All that talent, no wonder Apple hired him. Microsoft need to get someone like Ive on their team to design Vista, because it just looks like a re-badged XP.
