Designer Marc Newson recently spoke (http://www.dezeen.com/2014/10/01/marc-newson-interview-apple-watch-heineken-sub-draft-beer-machine/) to architecture and design magazine Dezeen in his first interview since joining (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/05/mark-newson-joins-apple/) Apple. Though most of the conversation focuses on a new consumer beer machine he created along with Heineken, Newson does reveal some interesting tidbits about his current role at Apple.
