And secondly: I think I rapidly would become tired of the lamp reflecting in the glass table top. Like, within 90 seconds.
(I would also have used a different desktop image than Apple's over-used starfield, but hey well.)
I'm fanatical about keeping my virtual desktop totally clean, to enjoy the images I have there better. But funny enough, I'm less so about my real desktop. I'm working after all, and if I put for example my pens and my reading glasses in a drawer, that's so many more times I'll have to open and close drawers.
But actually, I guess there is only on it what needs to be. Except for a camera or two for decoration and inspiration. But once you have the non-matching but high-performance keyboard and trackballs and their cables, and the books under the screens to elevate them, making it look totally neat is pretty much a lost cause anyway.

Einstein's proposition is buggy. Empty is an attribute for containers. It is incorrect, or at least imprecise, to use it to describe a surface, such as a desktop. What you should use instead is the word clear. The question then becomes:
“If a cluttered desk signs a cluttered mind, of what, then, is a clear desk a sign?”
It must be a pleasure to work with all those Apple tools.
I´m font of that big Mac! Plus the keyboard. It has a comfortable feel, I tried it out in the shop.
My MacBook´s keyboard is similarly comfy.
My mind tends to be empty instead of clear, on so many occasions....
Haha! Have a good week-ending weekend!

I would just tilt it to reflect more in the space between the desktop and the wall; put a dimmer, frosted, bulb in; and/or switch out the glass for a frosted slab. :-)
I'm actually digging the bright and cheery turquoise, etc. lighting in that corner. :-)
If Einstein were alive, today, I'd just tell him that everything is in this amazing machine sitting in front of me; that I've adapted quite well to change. :-D
Pretty amazing, yes. Today's iMac is as big and powerful at least as the $3000 G5 of three-four years ago, including most of the memory and storage options. (And the Mac Pro did not even include the screen.)
