Back in the main room, Ive noted that he’d been watching “Moon Machines,” an old Discovery Channel series about the Apollo program. “There was the realization we needed to develop a spacesuit, but it was hard to even know what the goals should be,” he said. And then he linked the studio’s work to nasa’s: like the Apollo program, the creation of Apple products required “invention after invention after invention that you would never be conscious of, but that was necessary to do something that was new.” It was a tic that I came to recognize: self-promotion driven by fear that one’s self-effacement might be taken too literally. Even as Apple objects strive for effortlessness, there’s clearly a hope that the effort required—the “huge degree of care,” the years of investigations into new materials, the months spent enforcing cutting paths in Asian factories—will be acknowledged.

The special resin technology used in the UV-resistant surface coating is the same as that used for Ampelite’s premium grade Wonderglas GC, providing a low-maintenance roofing and cladding solution.

The Melamine-faced Panels for Construction market, as per the application spectrum, is segmented into Wall, Ceiling, Flooring, Other. The market share accumulated by every application and the projected valuation that every application would account for is included in the report.

To see how the two versions of the new Xplore XSLATE L10 perform compared to the B10 and Bobcat they are replacing, we ran our standard Passmark Software PerformanceTest 6.1, a suite of about 30 tests covering CPU, 2D graphics, 3D graphics, memory, and disk and then computes scores for each category and an overall PassMark score. The results are as follows:

The Edward Field wallets, which come in brown and black colors and in sizes for all iPhone 6/6s models (as well as one for iPhone SE and iPhone 5/5s), don’t offer as much protection as beefier cases. But mine has saved my iPhone during multiple drops — and the leather looks much more beautiful than common polycarbonate. Sorry, cows.

Yikes. Great idea, poor execution. Really needs a glass (or plexi) cover over the whole thing. TV’s too small. This is gonna be impossible to clean, and spills will be redirected straight where you don’t want them to go.

The air suspension’s ride height drops by 0.4-in (10mm) when cruising at speeds above 65mph (105km/h)5 to reduce aerodynamic drag and assist with fuel efficiency. The Auto Access Height function automatically lowers the suspension by 1.6-in (40mm) when the ignition is turned off, making it easier to get in and out of the vehicle.

Most exclusive of all will be the Range Rover Velar First Edition. Limited to approximately 500 units in the U.S. and available for one model year only, the Velar First Edition is even more luxurious than the HSE specification. This model is powered solely by the 380HP 3.0-liter V6 gasoline engine and features a wealth of extra features as standard, including a full extended leather interior, as well as a copper weave carbon fiber trim finisher, to complement the perforated Windsor leather seats finished in two tone Light Oyster/Ebony, a 1600W Meridian™ 3D Signature Surround Sound System, and special 22-inch Split-Spoke wheels with diamond-turned finish are also standard.

Single-layer clear cases are usually pretty plain (and that’s the way I like them), but Ghostek decided to spruce the Covert 2 up a little bit. The oversized corners are a welcome touch, as they probably absorb a lot of shock, but the same can’t be said for the rest of the case. The triangle pattern over the glass portion and on the lower sides isn’t ugly, but it’s not particularly useful and I think the case would look better without it. I’m also not a huge fan of the large branding, of which there are two instances on the back.

In recent months, Sir Jonathan Ive, the forty-seven-year-old senior vice-president of design at Apple—who used to play rugby in secondary school, and still has a bench-pressing bulk that he carries a little sheepishly, as if it belonged to someone else—has described himself as both “deeply, deeply tired” and “always anxious.” When he sits down, on an aluminum stool in Apple’s design studio, or in the cream leather back seat of his Bentley Mulsanne, a car for a head of state, he is likely to emit a soft, half-ironic groan. His manner suggests the burden of being fully appreciated. There were times, during the past two decades, when he considered leaving Apple, but he stayed, becoming an intimate friend of Steve Jobs and establishing the build and the finish of the iMac, the MacBook, the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad. He is now one of the two most powerful people in the world’s most valuable company. He sometimes listens to CNBC Radio on his hour-long commute from San Francisco to Apple’s offices, in Silicon Valley, but he’s uncomfortable knowing that a hundred thousand Apple employees rely on his decision-making—his taste—and that a sudden announcement of his retirement would ambush Apple shareholders. (To take a number: a ten-percent drop in Apple’s valuation represents seventy-one billion dollars.) According to Laurene Powell Jobs, Steve Jobs’s widow, who is close to Ive and his family, “Jony’s an artist with an artist’s temperament, and he’d be the first to tell you artists aren’t supposed to be responsible for this kind of thing.”

I hadn’t come across a leather case of similar quality to Apple’s own until now. Made with high-quality leather, wrapped around a durable plastic shell, the Mujjo Leather Case offers both style and protection. With the selling price almost exactly the same as Apple’s own leather case, it’s great to find an alternative offering that has even better protection. A plastic lip protrudes slightly from the edge of the case, and protects your screen in the event of a drop, or when placing your iPhone screen-side-down. — Ste Smith
