Style

"Rather typical of modern technology is an overall dullness of appearance so depressing that it must be overlaid with a veneer of "style" to make it acceptable. The result is a pretty accurate description of modern American technology: stylized cars and stylized outboard motors and stylized typewriters and stylized clothes. Stylized refrigerators filled with stylized food in stylized kitchens in stylized houses. Plastic stylized toys for stylized children, who at Christmas and birthdays are in style with their stylish parents. You have to be awfully stylish yourself not to get sick of it once in a while. It's the style that gets you; technological ugliness syruped over with romantic phoniness in an effort to produce beauty and profit by people who, though stylish, don't know where to start because no one has ever told them there's such a thing as Quality in this world and it's real, not style."
-- Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Hence the iMac, PT Cruiser, Aztek, and that other queer looking thing Ford is about to make.
