Jony Ive is now officially Sir Jonathan Ive.
Apple's design guru was knighted in a ceremony Wednesday at London's Buckingham Palace in recognition for his many contributions to the world of design over the years.

Get in there quick before someone else in your gang starts promoting Google Drive and its rumored document editing capabilities.
