...wherever there's gray, black, as in ink, is not far behind. Earlier this year, Wal-Mart infuriated some women's groups when it declined to stock Preven, an emergency day-after contraception kit available by prescription.

Computers live in our offices and our homes, and everywhere their gray sharp-edged packaging advertises their status as the "other." But computers are flexible beasts, and housed within Ive's "emotional human forms" packaging they could lose some of that alien aloofness. We could be more natural around computers.
