Sigh, a nickel for everyone who owns an Apple product suddenly thinks they are a world class designer.

He never claimed to be a world class designer. In fact if you just clicked on the About Me link at the top you would find his background.

think != claim

What do you mean by this?

    He never thinked to be a world class designer

He was saying the original comment said "claimed to be" when it actually said "thinks they are", which is different, as the latter doesn't imply direct admission. I removed the /s.

In fact, I did say in my blog that "I’m no industrial designer and I’m not saying that both sides must be flush, because of some kind of design philosophy that I might not know." The purpose of writing something like this is to spur a discussion, in which I express a personal opinion, hear counter points, and maybe learn something along the way. Your "sigh" does neither, and I don't need your judging skills to tell me whether I think or am a designer.

Your making the nit-pick of all nit-picks and then vigorously defend it by ending with the outlandish claim that this wouldn't have happend if Jobs was there, which would be the part where you do in fact claim to know more than the people who did actually design the iPhone. People who in fact are world class designers.

Also note, it's the guy using a fucking generic blog template.

Gotta love and hate Hacker News sometimes. Idiots.

Edit: Bury me all you want, but by booting this post off the front page you've essentially agreed with me ;)
