Great article, Kristen! We need more of these science-behind-the-tech things here.

I guarantee your home doorknobs are dirtier than your genital area.

The only problem I see is that they update too quickly. Change the update cycle to every two years, continually improve upon sound quality, form factor, and storage capacity and the iPod will be fine.

Don't forget waterproof and shock-proof!

I wouldn't call it unanimous by a long shot, but it sure is united.

That sounded incredibly philosophical and at first I thought you were referring to life and the human condition.

I had one of these as my wallpaper, but it just too depressing. Out of habit I keep thinking this is some crazy Apple rumour and at the next keynote, Steve will come out and surprise us all—Apple's done it again!

Wow... I bet they typed that on a Mac. Even if they didn't, they typed it on a computer with a graphical user interface.

I bet they spend a lot more money on the engineering and research of putting those parts together, though.

What's up with their faces?

How do we know we only descended from one life-form? If the conditions for life were right at that time wouldn't it be possible that multiple unique organisms manifested themselves and each played a unique role in the evolution of life on Earth. Or are we assuming that only one went on to diversify and create all…

My heart ached for Woz in the second video in particular.

Okay.

It was a school Mac that I was able to take home—a polycarbonate white Macbook. I thought the trackpad gestures were so cool, and the interface was so polished. So I bought one of my own a few months later, which I'm typing on now. It's a Macbook Pro 13.

I agree, but please don't approve trolls.

The Mac is as strong as ever.

They are doing an amazing job: check out #trollpatrol

The bottom-right one is my favourite.

R.I.P Mr. Jobs, I'll miss you so much and selfishly wish I could have met you before you passed. You're one of the few people I look up to in life and although you are gone, you have shaped the world's path and mine for centuries to come.
