Knight Of The Round Tablet? UK Gov Honour for Ive Heralds New Year Of Tech

160px-Jonathan_Ive_2009Honours and medals from Queens and Kings may be an alien concept in Silicon Valley, but they are a delightfully steam-punk tradition, still continued in a Britain which long ago said goodbye to its Empire, yet still has Knights and 'Commander' orders to hand out. Thus, Apple?s chief designer, Jonathan Ive, has been knighted in the Queen?s New Year?s honours list, principally for his work in industrial design and championing British talent abroad. Ive was already made a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in 2006. Being a Knight means he is now Sir Jonathan Ive - a moniker which should, at the very least, bump him to the front of the average restaurant queue when he's in London.
