Jonathan Ive– Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire

CNET reports that London-born Jonathan Ive, Apple’s senior vice president of design, was awarded the title of Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire by the queen on Friday .

Evidently Queen Elizabeth II of England really likes her iPod, the title she bestowed on Ive recognizes his achievements in industrial design as leader of the team that produced not only the iPod but also the iMac, iBook and PowerBook computer lines in his nearly 13-year career at Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple.

You gotta know he’s going to hold this over Job’s head: first Bill Gates gets knighted and now Jonathan Ive gets his CBE.
