...device ostensibly created to be listened to, it is suspiciously good-looking. It's so teensy and glossy and perfect, you want to put it in your mouth like a hard candy. For that, blame Jonathan Ive, 38, the affable Brit who heads Apple's industrial-design department. Ive is about as obsessive-compulsive as you can be without being hospitalized, and his wild enthusiasm for detail is what gives iPods the aura of sleek, otherworldly perfection that has helped make them the quintessential 21st century accessory...

Now in its 51st year, the mouth-watering event runs from Sept. 22-25. Proceedings kick off with the Irish oyster opening championship, but the highlight for most visitors is the international shucking contest, when contestants from as far afield as Singapore and Estonia compete for the world title.
