your final point, about wanting every $ to go towards performance, is almost exactly one of the things I was trying to raise in that post. there just aren't that many people who care to spend on "good design" anymore, maybe. I couldn't even begin to tell you whether this is an "objectively" good thing, but it can be frustrating for someone who does want his $100 to go towards a better-looking product. while there are lots of options for performance, there seem not to be so many for nice-looking or distinctively designed products (at least in consumer electronics). I guess, I should say, you can always spend $100 on a custom case/design that'll be much better than anything by apple or android or dell etc. I mean, you can always just buy a MacPro case for $100 and stick your PC into it. Same with android and iphone, et cetera. I was just saying there's a reason people don't care about looks when it comes to electronics, because I can just put the Mona lisa as my background. There's a lot of companies out there that specifically do customizations, and run by people more creative than the (albeit large) apple aesthetics department. | ||

That first commercial is funny though. That can't seriously be his attempt at 60s Godard. LOL | ||

**** Fashion. It's a societal construct that has no objective meaning. What you wear is no indication of what's underneath. | ||

about shoes: nice pic and nice brand selection! If you want to go for a bigger budget go for Forzieri for casual / oudoor look I fell in love with that: ![[image loading]](http://cdn.hypebeast.com/image/2010/09/vans-holiday-mid-skool77-hiker-1.jpg) (Vans California Mid Skool 77) about hip-hop, 2011 was not a very good year but I also found this piece  | ||

What you wear is absolutely an indication of who you are, as it is a representation of the image you wish to show others. And even if you personally take fashion as purely pointless and meaningless, that doesn't mean everyone else does. Dressing well brings quite a bit of outside positive attention, even if you personally don't understand it. From personal experience: Around three years ago, I started to switch my wardrobe from t-shirts and jeans to a more GQ-esque look -- that is, "adult, but youthful" clothes. It's pretty hard to relate just how big of an impact this had on me, but to put it in perspective more women have paid attention to me in the last couple years than ever before, my superiors have treated me with more respect, I've gained a considerable amount of confidence, etc. Honestly, the only downside is cost, but smart shopping can largely eliminate this (especially if you take quality into account -- a $150 pair of shoes from a good brand will last longer than three $50 pairs). | ||
