Ivan Taslimson
Ivan Taslimson
One of designers of Microsoft Hotmail, Messenger and many other inventions for major tech companies. The true genius on the background. An outstanding artist, architect and visionary, yet a reclusive person. Eccentric, low-profile, he prefers to avoid publicities. But now it seems like he came out of his shell!
As an architect, Taslimson is also highly-renown for his maverick designs, invention and works ranging from utopian residential buildings to innovative skycrapers, from toilet dispenser, yacht design to future spacecrafts. Ivan Taslimson is an American architect, multidisplinary designer, inventor and founder of Solstice Group. He founded the design company at the age of 19.
Earlier, he started creating genius scientific sketches, diagrams, architectural drawings and inventions during elementary school, which noone understood at the time. Including his teachers and parents--

Jonathan Ive
Jonathan Ive
He is internationally renowned as the principal designer of the iMac, aluminum and titanium PowerBook G4, MacBook, unibody MacBook Pro, iPod and iPhone.
Ive is known to be unselfish in how he is attributed; in interviews, for example, he always emphasises the teamwork that goes into the products for which he receives recognition and fame.
The Sunday Times named Ive as one of Britain's most influential expatriates on 27 November 2005: "Ive may not be the richest or the most senior figure on the list, but he has certainly been one of the most influential... The man who designed the iPod and many more of Apple's most iconic products has shaken up both the music and the electronics industry." Ive was number three on a list of 25.
Ive was also listed in the 2006 New Years Honours list, receiving a CBE, for services to the design industry. The British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, was revealed as being an iPod owner in June 2005.
A recent Macworld poll listed Ive joining Apple in 1992 as the sixth most significant event in Apple history, while MacUser (a subsidiary of Macworld) writer Dan Moren suggested recently that, when the time comes for Steve Jobs to step down as CEO of Apple, Ive would be an excellent candidate for the position, justifying the statement by saying that he "embodies what Apple is perhaps most famous for: design."
