“So much of our manufactured environment testifies to carelessness,” Ive said, as he and I were driven, early one evening, from the flat sprawl of Cupertino to a hilltop in central San Francisco, where he lives in a two-bedroom house with his British wife, Heather, a former arts administrator, and their ten-year-old twin boys, who pronounce “aluminum” in the English way, and have strict rules about screen time. (A few years ago, the Ives bought a nineteen-twenties mansion in Pacific Heights, with striking views, and Ann Getty and Larry Ellison as neighbors. The house is undergoing a seismic renovation. The Ives also own a beach house on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.)

The basic L10 tablet is visually almost identical to Xplore’s older and existing 10-inch class tablets, but that’s misleading as the L10 is a far more powerful design. A trio of Intel 8th generation "Kaby Lake Refresh" Core processor provide the kind of performance many field professional need for complex work. If that’s not needed, a low end Intel Pentium-based version is still as fast as the old high-end Xplore XSLATE B10. And despite its considerable ruggedness thanks to a tough magnesium alloy frame, polycarbonate housing, and elastomer corner and edge protection, the handy tablet weighs under three pounds. With a footprint barely larger than an iPad, the XSLATE L10 fits virtually anywhere.

Shruti Jaipuria of the Bangalore-based Maia Design Studio helmed the interiors of Toast & Tonic, has devised a striking feature for the walls and roof with the chipboard finish that stretches all through the ceiling and pillars of the restaurant. The eye takes in the marble floors inlaid with brass and wall surfaces treated with peanut shells to create texture–there’s synchronicity and symmetry in the visual palette, which continues with the furniture and seating (tan frames and buff upholstery for that chic touch).

Each function may be individually selected and displayed on the main part of the screen to provide more detailed information and user options. A side panel provides access for up to five frequently used functions: navigation, media, phone, news and weather1. A permanent menu bar in the lower portion of the screen provides easy access to the home menu, vehicle settings and parking aids.

The four-bedroom colonial at 63 Mountain Brook Road in North Haven is on a lush 1.10-acre setting with a screened porch and deck.

The bus was at almost every game Vander Esch played in his final two seasons at Boise State, including the trip to Nevada for the Broncos’ victory over Oregon in the 2017 Las Vegas Bowl. Last summer, they took the bus to a family reunion in Iowa. The lone road trip to a Cowboys game this season was to Seattle.

At Apple, “the products were incredibly complex, and you realized that you had this dizzying liberty,” he said. “Of course, you were trying to figure out an architecture, and form, that addressed certain issues of function.” But an Apple product could take many different shapes, some of which would be “completely unhelpful in helping you understand what the object was.” Although there had long existed tools and machines whose function might puzzle a non-specialist, the integrated circuit had introduced a new level of inscrutability, where “people could look at an object and have not the first clue what it was and how it worked.” His tablet concept, the Macintosh Folio, had a stylus and an adjustable angled screen, and carried the suggestion of a drawing board.

How well does it work? Given that it’s a very difficult problem to solve, remarkably well. Rain and wetness is an especially difficult issue. Water is an excellent conductor and water sprayed or falling onto a touch screen will completely mess up measuring capacitance between electrodes. So the L10 may provides wet touch functionality by significantly decreasing the sensitivity of the touch controller and using a special screen protector that makes water pearl and bead enough so that there isn’t uncontrolled conduction between different parts of the display surface.

The Defense Lux combines a machined-aluminum outer frame with a tactilely-satisfying rear panel fashioned in carbon fiber, soft leather or ‘croc’ skin. The scratch-resistant metal outer frame provides military-grade drop protection, while protecting the perimeter of your iPhone. It’s a sexy-strong case with metallic button covers, and is drop-tested at six-and-a-half feet. — Ami Icanberry

The cockpit’s distinctive horizontal architecture is celebrated with a new embossed Cut Diamond signature design, which flows from the instrument panel through to the door casings to emphasize the width of the spacious cabin.

During my review run, the fully-juiced Honor 8C easily lasted me up to two days at a time. The daily usage involved an hour or so of video streaming, a couple of voice calls, some music playback, and constant incoming notifications from a bunch of apps, all with automatic brightness and Wi-Fi/Cellular data always turned on. The bundled charger can top-up a completely-drained battery in about two and a half hours, which is alright, given that there’s no fast-charging support.
