You've come a long way, Jonathan Ive
On the other hand, if you're wearing beige fleeces with huge collars and sporting a pretty wicked 'stache, you might have a problem convincing people that you, y'know, design some of the sleekest, sexiest devices on the planet.
Oh, how the Internet is going to make all of us have to relive our worse style decisions over and over. Gizmodo has dug up this video clip of Jonathan Ive talking talking about how a computer "can be sexy" circa 1999. You've come a long way, Jonny...

It's gotta be tough for a guy who designs the sexiest devices on the planet. No, not the million-dollar paycheck or the international fame...

Not so, BeyondtheTech.
did you see that smile at the end of the clip?
Looks like he had the "Steve Jobs" makeover: buzz cut, unshaven but tidy, and a black shirt. I'm pretty sure you could post before and after pics of Jobs and see the same transformation - not the current, sickly Jobs, but maybe Jobs from about ten years ago.

April 16 2010 at 2:37 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyNot to bring this too far off topic (then again, we're talking about a shave-and-a-haircut on TUAW), the sucky thing is that young hot girls like jerks, and then when they get older THEN they start liking nice guys. Meanwhile, the jerks had all the fun with the hot young ones. It's like, you love cars and spend your whole life wanting a Ferrari, then by the time you can afford one, you're 60, and no longer want to drive the hell out of it.
