    I think he makes my list of ‘people I’d like to have dinner with’.

    HE IS SOOO HOT!!

    I like it. Can you make the google ads a bit thinner, they’re a bit annoying and bulky.

    Definitely not the typical douche designer/engineer.

    To Gabriel, I agree. He’s pretty hot! When they zoomed out at the end, I realised how big his arms are. Dang, he’s got some nice arms there!

    He is a genius.

    He just looks so English – pale n pasty (me too)

    i really enjoyed that, thank you. i really appreciate the design of my apple products even more.

    he is YUUUUMMMMM

    he is YUUUUMMMMMY
