Ive wins National Design Award
It seems like Apple's Johnathan Ive does two things: design great products, and win awards for designing said products. So today's Ive news is of the second order-- at the National Design Awards in Washington on Wednesday, Ive picked up the product design award. According to the Washington Post, Ive was recognized for his work on the iMac, the iBook, and the iPod, but we can't help but think having the iPhone now under his belt didn't hurt either.Awards also went to Adobe for creating Photoshop, the "gold standard" of photo manipulation software, and a few other architects and designers from various places around the country. The awards were handed out by First Lady Laura Bush, who said Ive's work "...has made it more fun to go back in time and play oldies on our iPods." She's still listening to oldies? Someone show this woman the podcast page on iTunes!
Laura Bush listens to Dolly on her iPod
I'm not sure if this is positive press for Apple, but what the heck. According to reporter Bill Sammon of The Washington Times, first lady Laura Bush listens to Dolly Parton on her iPod. She apparently listens to less country music than her husband. Mrs. Bush allegedly has Tina Turner on her iPod in addition to the more expected choices. No mention was made to what model or models of iPod the First Lady rocks or in which settings she enjoys listening to her playlists.[via iLounge]
