    excerpts:

    "What happens in technology companies when visual design—and the deeply creative thinking it embodies—gets a seat at the big table with engineering? What happens when visual design is integrated into the product development process from day one? I don't know for sure, but I think you end up with something like Apple's iPhone."

    "Customers know ugly when they see it. And it's not really a trigger for driving purchases, or a recipe for premium pricing. Did you notice, by the way, that Google, Facebook, and Twitter also have something else in common? They're all (currently) free."
