   @thomasfuchs tbf the use cases for this device are at-home entertainment or work. It’s not being pitched as a device to wear out and about, so I don’t think looking dumb is necessarily a dealbreaker here the way it would be for products like watches or headphones.

     @thomasfuchs This makes me wonder if the pictures not being hung was a deliberate choice for the photoshoot.

     @thomasfuchs @powersoffour I meant the photo by Diana Walker that she took for Time.

     I didn't bother to read the Wired article.

     @thomasfuchs Was iTunes MP3 encoding higher quality than all the options available at the time with LAME? Genuinely curious

     not to mention MP3 was the de-facto audio file standard before the iPod was ever released. Dont' give credit to good things to Steve Jobs.
