Steve Jobs Weighs In On Pointless iTunes 10 Icon Debate

5:32 p.m. · September 3, 2010 · by Mike Burr

Now that iTunes 10 has us pinging or spritzing or kvetching each other at frightening rates and being happier than we've ever been before, a small group of naysayers has decided to take issue with the new icon, obviously the only fault they could find in the entire program.

Designer Joshua Kopac took his beef to the man himself, asserting to Jobs that the new icon "sucks" and instantly gets rid of the iTunes' recognizability. Jobs' answer: "We disagree." Those two words work better than Kopac suddenly disappearing from his life and waking up on the Island of Discarded Apple Spokespersons next to Yael Naim, simply because Jobs is saying what everybody already knows: He could make the icon for iTunes his own face, and we would still use it. Convenience demands it! [Gizmodo]
