Is beautiful best?
My wife got me a netbook for Christmas and she let me pick which one. I decided on an HP Mini 210—because it was beautiful. The netbooks all had about the same features, more or less, but I picked the beautiful one even though it cost $30 more. Now I have a dilemma: is beautiful best I wonder? Should appearance play any role in electronics? True, these machines are part of our lives now, there is no doubt about that, but why should the engineers who design these tools have to concern themselves with aesthetics?
