[Sir] Johnathon Ive, genius Apple designer and not theif Apple designer* (no, not at all!), has gotten himself a KBE from the Queen of Great Britainland. That means that he now outranks a true computer genius and British war hero, Alan Turing, as Turing was only ever awarded a crappy OBE. Turing did get other rewards in his lifetime though. Chemical castration was one, a criminal record and a life of socially shunned loneliness were others. He finally got his life back on track though when in a fit of depression he killed himself. And all this because he was found out to be a homosexual. He might have saved Britain during WW2 but you know, he took it in the bum-bum, so that means he was worse than Hitler! You can sign the petition for an official pardon for Turing [ here ].
*as Steve Jobs would say, "grand theft".
