This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

    Is it just me or do airpods look a bit cargo cult in their design? There is no good reason for them to look like old headphones w/o wires

        Bud shape fits most ears well enough. Vestigial stems afford grab and remove. Family resemblance mitigates jarring change.

        I want to agree but without hearing from the rationale from the product team for the design, I'll never know.

        there's also no reason for us to think they're any less attractive than their wired counterparts. Just new to us.
