[Sigia-l] Just for you women out there

> it's not a big leap to pinkify laptops

iPods are 'pinkified' too. But, c'mon, look at a pink iPod and then look at
this monstrosity. It's not just the color. The whole thing just grosses me
out. I'd rather glue a brown Zune to my head than look at this, wouldn't
you?

I'd easily pay $500 to be able to sit in on the meetings where its design
and branding were conducted. How many anthropologist were slain to come up
with that gender-cultural insight? Did their focus groups use eye tracking
equipment? Did they make paper prototypes? :-)
