This british honor have become like a popularity contest over the years , like a prom queen thing,
Seriously Elton John..... Elton John??!! , why don't they knight Justin Beiber and be done with it, it's going to happen sooner or later.

is Justin Bieber British now? 

You dont think Jonathan Ive deserves a knighthod?  He has made a very large and lasting imprint on society.... no question about it.

He designed the ipod, ipad, iphone, imac, macbook pro, macbook air etc etc... thats pretty impressive.

and so for his contribution to design and the way in which he pretty much revolutionised the way we consume music he fully deserves the award.

do not confuse knighthoods with military awards... they arent remotely releated.

 

Good grief the way you guys talk about apple products is just too damn sad " revolutionize the way we _____ " , " important part in our society" , yeah because having snazzy looking phone is a vital part in our lives , also you do know that this award is no longer exclusive to British nationality, it's just who's popular in media at the moment , I bet there are a bunch of rappers who were awarded this award
