Because there is insufficient art in tech.

Because art is beautiful and good and there is no problem to be solved

Are you saying their products are beautiful, or ugly crap? It seems ambiguous which one is referring to Apple.

Good art is not necessarily beautiful. I suspect there's more interesting potential for art/tech collaboration not in the beautiful parts, but in the ability to create something thought provoking.

I wouldn't call Apple products that, but I agree their design is overhyped.

While I will never buy another new Apple computer; I've always liked the look of most of their products unless my finances improve.

Would I rather have a ugly product, that I could repair----hell yes.

I thought some of Palm products back in the day were beautiful. I loved my Palm TX. I loved the look, and feel of the product.
