I, for one, love the simplicity of the minimalist apple design. I hate baroque over design. But that said, each his own. I'm just excited because of the possibility of leveling society this presents. If every home has a 3D printer that can print, well, just about anything. Then suddenly material wealth doesn't matter so much any more. It's still not quite the star trek replicator, in that you'll have to have the proper 'ink' cartridge to print things, instead of just using energy. But even before we get the printer in every home this could lead to huge advances in manufacturing automation.
