If I were Steve Jobs, I’d be upset to death about this. Actually, I’m not Steve Jobs, and I have an iMac, and yet I am pissed off. Why do the dumbasses who design (which isn’t quite the word, considering how much work it mustn’t be) USB hubs for the Mac mini make sure they copy the form factor, the style and the material (and with mixed success at that), and then add LEDs and logos everywhere? How stupid do you have to be to think your customers will want a hub that’s assorted their mini, only without the subtlety and sobriety that characterize Apple’s, and particularly the mini’s, design?

Please, don’t tell me people actually buy this crap, I don’t wanna know…

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.

Ce nest pas trop choquant pour ce produit-ci. Surtout comparé aux chinoiseries pour PC que l'on trouve rue Mongallet. On à parfois la chance de tomber sur des trucs plutôt potables mais ils ne peuvent s'empêcher d'ajouter un texte complètement con qui sert à rien, du genre «Ultra Power System 35464CFV Recorder Bla bla». En Comic Sans MS (très classe) ou Brush Script (très moderne) la plupart du temps, comme si ça ne suffisait pas.
