09:49 - It takes Porsche...

Porsche Design GmbH has been responsible for a lot of funky niche products over the years-- bicycles, coffee makers, that sort of thing. They all look good, I'll give 'em that.
Now they've done a TiBook-alike. It matches the PowerBook in just about every dimension and spec, right down to the slot-loading drive and the positioning of the power button, and I have to admit it looks pretty good indeed. The sound system sounds quite cool to boot.
Of course, the TiBook design is approaching its third birthday; when it rolls around in a couple of months, it'll be right about ripe for an overhaul. These designs tend to last about three years. I'm not at all sure what direction they'll go in next. (That's part of the fun.)
But in the meantime-- nice work, Best Buy.
