World's first floating Apple Store (Steve Jobs Yacht)

[Anubis]

its kinda ugly

 

[Ben90]

Too pointy, would not sail.

 

[TuxDave]

And this is why Apple hired Jonathan Ive to do the designs.

its kinda ugly

Dude's dead so we can go ahead and say it, that thing is fucking ugly. I never cared for the look of his products before but that yacht takes the cake, the only way to make it look better would be to sink it and make it an artificial reef

 

[T_Yamamoto]

Where are his patented rounded edges?

Yeah I know right!

Whoever buys it won't have it long. If the engine ever brakes down, they'll have to get a new one.

I actually like it. I like yachts with simple but sharp lines.

If I had that kind of cash, and could custom order one to match that in size, I love the Wally 118 design. Though, hell, I'd even humbly accept the 118' design as is.

google images Wally 118

Turns out, there are designs for a larger 118-style. Here's the Wally 85M (280')

Also, the Wally Why is pretty damn awesome. The self-deprecating humor present in the name is also a nice touch. Or, it could just be a Wally Whyton reference. :hmm:

Pretty graceful for a short fatty.

Reminiscent of the 1980's stealth ship fad.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

I guess he couldn't get the ship made in China.

 

[sigurros81]

I'm guessing the ship is designed to where you cannot upgrade it in any sort of way. If you want the yacht to go faster, you're going to have to buy a new one.

[adlep]

Yeah,
Now I know...
The thing looks like a Lego Star Destroyer.

World's first floating Apple Store (Steve Jobs Yacht)

Weren't there Apple stores in New Orleans in 2005?

Weren't there Apple stores in New Orleans in 2005?

:hmm:

I know there is definitely at least one in NYC.

Nothing wrong with rich people being cheap. That's how they stay rich. If you're generous like a black professional sports player, you'll end up going broke before your career ends.

yea supposedly he saw some of the people around him become weird people after getting rich. he was selectively stingy but at least he tried to stay normal.

saves money for the boat..

 

[destrekor]

Where the hell does one have to shop to pay over $100 for a pair of Levi's ?!

 

[lxskllr]

He sure spent a lot of money to look like he didn't spend money. I could get that look for <$25. Fuck iAnything. I wouldn't use one if it were free.

 

[IronWing]

Looks like a sewing machine foot pedal.

 

[IronWing]

Is that a slide-out?

There are "special" ones made in teh USA. The sneakers, on the other hand...
